Chastity\u00a0is for the skids, the headbangers, the freaks.\u00a0Chastity\u00a0is for everyone who has suffered and survived the lethal combination of suburban overculture and mental distress.\u00a0Chastity\u00a0is especially for everyone who didn\u2019t survive\u2014the ones who didn\u2019t get out. Brandon Williams did, luckily, and his work with\u00a0Chastity\u00a0has been to collect people like him, who got out by the skin of their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new self-titled LP, out\u00a0September 13, hurtles through melodic hardcore, shoegaze, and emo, all magnificently and enormously rendered thanks to slick work from John Paul Peters (Propagandhi, Comeback Kid), who engineered and mixed the record. Recorded at Peters\u2019 Private Ear Recording in Winnipeg in March 2024,\u00a0Chastity\u2019s guitars have never sounded so immediate and towering.\u00a0 On the softer side, the album’s heart-wrenching third single Offing<\/em><\/a> is out now. \u00a0\u00a0
Brandon Williams comments,\u00a0“This is the most country the project’s ever gone, some townie emo. A song about getting my meds mixed and thinking about death, approval of others, living to see another day.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
