Hardcore quintet STICK TO YOUR GUNS — Jesse Barnett [vocals], Andrew Rose [bass], Adam Galindo [drums], Chris Rawson [guitar], and Josh James [guitar] — announced that their ferocious new album Keep Planting Flowers will arrive on January 10 via new label SharpTone Records.
Now, the So Cal band shared the video for More Than a Witness. It’s less than two-and-a-half minutes in length, and while short, it packs a massive punch.
“More Than a Witness was a song that poured out of us, from the riffs to the lyrics it was clear that the substance of this song was something that desperately needed to come out and I’m glad it did,” says James. “It’s one of my favorites from the new album and truly is a reminder that we each have our own responsibility in fighting for a better way of life for all.”
Barnett also weighs in, saying, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. Whether we all like it or not, every day we are engaging in a collective society where what we do, or don’t do, has a cause and effect on each other, and other things. While most of us have completely isolated ourselves by individualizing every aspect of our lives, it can be difficult to see why what doesn’t directly affect you right now in this moment should have any significance to you at all. For me, personally, I have committed to my role of no longer just sitting back and watching our world spin out into a death spiral but rather I will do what I can when I can with what I have. No matter how futile it may seem to be to some. To me, this is what it means to be truly human. And like the late great Kris Kristofferson says: ‘Try to tell the truth and stand your ground. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.'”
