Anthemic punk band Stoke Signals has announced their debut album, Make Dying Fun, coming Sept. 20. The band formed following the breakups of Promise Me This and Holy Fangs.
Vocalist Giuliano Messina tells us:
Mike and I were briefly in a band called Holy Fangs, so that's where the name comes from. The song itself comes from thinking about all the time spent as a kid and even as an adult in bands trying to write songs, having notebooks full of lyrics. And having this overwhelming feeling that your music isn't good enough yet, it's no better than anyone else's, but you kind of need to allow yourself a bit of denial so you can keep writing anyway. You can only write good music if you power through and even appreciate all the shitty music you wrote first.
