Based in New England, Stab are crafting punchy melodic hardcore that beckons on nostalgia. Today, the band announce their debut album Lost In Maine, set for release on July 24th through Unbeaten Records. Having already shared the single “New England Numb” featuring Citizen’s Mat Kerkes, the band now unveil second single “Irish Goodbye.” Closing out the record, the song jolts from the get go with infectious guitar lines. Vocalist Nik Coggins delivers lyrics of being true to yourself and casting fake friends aside, his hard-edged voice surrounded by gang vocals that will call for pile ons in a live setting.

Lost In Maine was recorded mixed, mastered by Evan Sammons. It’s available for preorder now through Unbeaten Records.
On what to expect on the record, the band share:
“Stab as a whole is a love letter to where we’re from. Musically, we’ve been spoiled to grow up in the New England hardcore scene. Lyrically we’re trying to capture how and where we’ve grown up. The melancholy and loneliness of a New England winter, falling in love during the summer months, battling addiction, losing your friends, being surrounded by people you can’t stand and pushing on despite it all.”
Stab have several upcoming shows, including dates with Wisdom & War and Dmize. Details below.
Stab is Nik Coggins – Vocals, Joe Bradshaw – Guitar, Matt March – Guitar, Griffin Kronemer – Bass, and Jeremy Breau – Drums.
