AS IT IS release ‘Sorry X’, featuring Mikaila Delgado of YOURS TRULY

‘Never Happy, Ever After X’, a complete re-working of their debut album, out April 18th

Transatlantic pop-punk/emo quartet, As It Is, have today released, ‘Sorry X’, featuring a guest appearance from Yours Truly frontwoman, Mikaila Delgado.

Speaking of the collaboration, the band share, “‘Sorry’ was the first song we wrote for the Never Happy, Ever After back in early 2014. We even played it live a handful of times before we recorded it and released it the following year. ‘Sorry’ wouldn’t have sounded out of place on an early As It Is EP, and we were kind of able to write the rest of the record around it, in a way.

It was never a single, but it was a fan favourite, a great live moment in the set, and its lyrics titled the record, so it’s always been a special song for the band and the album. Now, it’s getting its flowers, and the extraordinarily talented Mikaila Delgado brings so much to this track. Spending the afternoon in the studio with Mik, beaming while she sang these unreal runs and harmonies, it was an absolute blast. We’re so proud of this one and incredibly excited to be sharing another piece of the NHEAX puzzle.”

The recently announced, ‘Never Happy, Ever After X’, is a complete re-recording of their debut album, featuring guest appearances on every track.

Speaking of the April 18th release, the band say, “we knew Never Happy, Ever After deserved a big ten year celebration, and what started as an idea to re-record a few singles, quickly snowballed into an unbelievably ambitious project.

We are incredibly excited to have a whole host of guests join in the celebrations, from artists that directly influenced the record like Hidden In Plain View and Transit, our friends and touring pals in Trash Boat, Holding Absence, ROAM and Mallory Knox and fresh new blood in the scene that As It Is have influenced in some way, like NOAHFINNCE and ARTIO – it is a record full of special full circle moments. From covering Sum 41 on YouTube to having Brownsound shred a solo on a song, and a long overdue collaboration with Kellin Quinn who Patty covered way back in 2011 and we toured with on the Never Happy cycle, this record encapsulates the 2015 scene we came up in whilst paying respect to the bands that influenced it and the new bands that are moving it forward into the future. We can’t wait for people to hear this new version of Never Happy, to get to celebrate this record with so many friends and heroes was inconceivable to the kids that wrote this record ten years ago. This may be the one of the most special records to us that we’ve ever made.”
