Gregor Barnett, perhaps best known as guitarist/co-vocalist of The Menzingers, has announced an upcoming solo record and shared the first single, "Don't Go Throwing Roses In My Grave," also the title track of the new record, set for cd/digital release on Feb. 18, 2022 (and exactly one month later, on March 18, for vinyl).
“It was this perfect storm,” Barnett says of the record's creation. “The band couldn’t tour, I was going through a really difficult time, and I was stuck at home watching my family struggle with illness and death and hardship. The only thing I could do was write my way through it.”
Don't Go Throwing Roses In My Grave was produced by Will Yip and features Yip on drums, Menzingers bandmates Eric Keen on bass, and Joe Godino on percussion. The album takes a decidedly Americana turn from his punker leanings with The Menzingers.
The album will release on Epitaph Records.
