Solid State/Tooth & Nail Records Welcome Acres to the Roster

BAND SHARES “A DIFFERENT SHADE OF MISERY” VIDEO — WATCH

TOURING WITH HOLDING ABSENCE, CAPSTAN, + CASEY THIS WINTER

SOLID STATE + TOOTH & NAIL RECORDS are pleased to welcome UK band ACRES to the roster.

The band has shared the video for the new single “A Different Shade Of Misery,” which was produced by Landon Tewers of The Plot in You. Watch it here.

The song mixes equal parts brutality and melody, making for quite a thrilling listen.

“Lyrically this song is about regaining control of yourself and confronting your demons,” says vocalist Ben Lumber. “I wrote this when I was at a really low point and I’d often sit there thinking, ‘Man, you need to snap out of this.’ At one point, I felt like my own worst enemy and I was fighting a war inside my own head. It’s a really special song because, musically, it’s a new direction and the start of a new era for our band. We’ve always aimed to reinvent ourselves with every release and this was one of those songs that just naturally came to us.”

Acres are touring this winter in support of Holding Absence along with Capstan and Casey. All dates are below.

Following the success of 2019’s Lonely World, a record that harnessed melody and melancholy, Acres found themselves playing the biggest shows of their career so far and achieving things they had only previously dreamt about. But when the world around them suddenly felt so uncertain, they had a choice to make of what they should do next. Instead of rushing out with something that they didn’t fully believe, they locked themselves away and painstakingly created something that not only represented where they had been but also where they wanted to end up. The result was Burning Throne, a perfectly crafted account of what it means to stare into your own oblivion and learn about who you really are from it.
