So Stressed releases new single

So Stressed, the Sacramento-based post-hardcore three piece have released their new single, Apple Hill, which is lifted from their forthcoming debut album ‘The Unlawful Trade of Greco-Roman Art’. The album will be available on LP, CD and digital download via Honor Press on May 26th. Listen to Apple Hill via SoundCloud below.

So Stressed initially began in Sacramento, CA as an improvisational noise project that included the band’s three members (Morgan Fox, Andrew Garcia and Kenneth Draper). Over time, the lineup was refined and their sound morphed into what’s heard on ‘Unlawful Trade.’

The fact that their sound is so violent and tense as to be physically disarming is almost deceptive; the members of So Stressed are kind, conscientious and smart young men. Writing this album took more than two years (and recording took more than six months) due to a common habit of throwing away fully-formed songs deemed to be even slightly less than perfect. All this was done with no goal in mind— if no one wanted to release it, Fox says, “we were just going to delete it.”
