Hostage Calm - Hostage Calm - VINYL LP

Following their critically acclaimed 2010 self-titled LP, Please Remain Calm combines elements of Springsteen-esque heartland rock with the band's signature blend of 60s pop melody, 70s punk energy, and 80s new wave panache. This is the punk album of the Great Recession - capturing the defeat, fury and stagnation of what it feels like to be young in the American Decline. Produced by J. Robbins (Against Me!, Jawbreaker, Paint It Black, Promise Ring). The band played the Vans Warped Tour 2012, and will be supporting Streetlight Manifesto this fall. Hostage Calm is an act you better be aware of - or you must be going deaf.

Hostage Calm confront the darker realities of a modern America as a means of survival. In 2010, the acclaimed Connecticut band funneled their heroes? protest energy into a hybrid of punk, pop and new wave, only to see hopes filtered out through the Great Recession on 2012's bruised Heartland rocker Please Remain Calm. Die on Stage celebrates the subsequent post-millennial fatalism with timeless grandeur. It's not a political statement but an honest portrait of growing up in America, embracing all that's fleeting while clutching what semblance of dreams remain for a generation future endeavored.
