Check out this excerpt from this interview, in which Chuck discusses the reasons why the release of the album has been postponed:<\/p>\n
“Well at first, the first initial thought was to let\u2019s see what happens [when the pandemic hit]. But then obviously all the predictions and everything were a little off in terms of not just ours but the world in general. And I think\u2026 today is one year since our last show. […] Which is insane when you think about that. And I think literally March 12th, we were about to fly out for a show and I remember the whole world changed when the Trump went on TV and the borders were shutting down and the NBA cancelled their season. […] And I think everybody thought, okay, you know, three four months, five more months, we\u2019ll be back on tour, we\u2019ll be back working. So at that time, it was like let\u2019s see what happens and then you keep doing that, you keep doing that. And now we\u2019re a year in\u2026 <\/i><\/p>\nI think what\u2019s been challenging for us is that we\u2019re in the middle of changing labels.<\/b> We just finished our deal with Atlantic and we\u2019re looking for a new partner and trying to figure that out. So I think it has complicated the process, it has made it a little longer, cause right now, it\u2019s hard to talk to people, to have meetings, to make sure you choose the right partner.<\/b> So that added a level of complexity to the whole thing that we didn\u2019t expect. And on top of that to try to find like your new home, like how you\u2019re gonna release new music, you know, throwing in everything that happened, throwing in the whole TikTok thing, which took us by surprise and was gigantic and trying to figure out how do we release music – it\u2019s been a challenging year to say the least. <\/i><\/p>\n
So I don\u2019t know if we\u2019re waiting for touring to come back, per se, I just think we have a lot of things that have to kind of align.<\/b> But I\u2019m hoping\u2026 I know that our fans have been really patient and I know that we\u2019re kind of stretching the elastic of their patience. And like we need to put it out. And even for ourselves. Like\u2026 we\u2019ve been living with these songs for a long time now, we\u2019ve recorded them, you know, we can\u2019t wait to release them. It\u2019s just\u2026 it\u2019s been weird. It\u2019s been disappointing, to be honest. It\u2019s been kind of heartbreaking. Like, why can\u2019t we just, you know… put this out. <\/i><\/p>\n
But there\u2019s also the fear of, like, we worked so hard on it, you don\u2019t wanna put it out and have it just kind of go away and nothing happening. Like, I look at All Time Low, good friends of ours. They put out a record, they\u2019ve done all the virtual shows and they have the biggest hit of their career with Monsters. And they\u2019re like stuck at home. It must be amazing on one end, cause you\u2019re like oh my god, we finally have that song, and we finally have what we\u2019ve been chasing for for so long, but it’s probably also pretty heartbreaking because you\u2019re like, man, like why did it have to happen this year, you know?”<\/i><\/p>\n
