This Fall, H2O will release a new album consisting of covers. It's called Don't Forget Your Roots, and it'll be available on Bridge Nine Records. The band tackled artists such as The Ramones, Rancid, Circle Jerks, and Social Distortion. Vocalist, Toby Morse, had this to say:
"This album is extremely important to us. These are bands that inspired us to start a band and who have inspired our personal lives. Also with so many young kids getting into hardcore every day, it's good to always keep exposing them to the ROOTS of this music and getting them into some of the originators of hardcore/punk. We have all gotten to see this bands play live when we were young so covering their songs that made us happy and inspired as kids feels amazing and we feel honored."
