American band A Day To Remember have cemented themselves over the years as one of the biggest bands in rock and post-hardcore, with a number of worldwide headline tours and five renowned albums behind them. Yesterday the band teased their followers with a tweet informing fans that they would be appearing on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show.

Fans were not disappointed today when the show premiered a brand new single from A Day To Remember, entitled Paranoia, which encapsulates their distinctive style with heavy vocals and bold, thrashing instrumentals. This is the first new material from the band since 2013 album Common Courtesy, causing a flurry of excitement as well as fueling rumours that a new album isn’t far off.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Beats 1, vocalist Jeremy McKinnon said:
We’re just putting out this one song for fun. I mean, I think this is fun. We’ve actually never just come out of nowhere and been like ‘Here’s something new.”
A Day To Remember are due to headline Self Help Festival, which is an annual event independently organised by the band that began back in 2014. Bands such as The Story So Far, The Wonder Years and Issues are among those joining A Day To Remember on the line up this year. The festival -located at the Nos Events Centre in San Bernadino, California – will take place in several weeks, commencing on March 19th.
There is currently no official word from the band confirming the production of a new album, so fans are very much in the dark. However, Paranoia may be enough to tide them over after a 3-year wait – for now!
You can stream Paranoia via Apple Music here. Paranoia will be available for download from Friday 11th March.
