Liverpool pop-punks WSTR have confirmed details of their debut album, ‘Red, Green or Inbetween’. Set for release on the 20th January 2017, the band have unveiled lead track, ‘Lonely Smiles’.
“This album is mainly a breakup album however it’s not a ‘fuck you’ album it’s more a ‘mad at myself’ album,” vocalist Sammy Clifford explains. “The title, ‘Red, Green Or Inbetween’ is based on being stuck in limbo or in the ‘in-between’. Amber is also the name of a significant friend of mine who most of the songs are about, so it’s a pretty sad boy record. It’s all about kicking myself for not stepping up when I had the chance and coasting through life making bad decisions. Compared to the EP, it’s still very honest but just bigger, better and longer. The artwork is a voodoo doll which is meant to represent me, as I sometimes feel like someone is out to get me with all the bad luck I have. Putting out an album is a big scary step, but it’s been a long time coming and we’re ready to see what the world has to say and hopefully see some more of it too.”
To celebrate the announcement, WSTR have confirmed a number of tour dates, joined by Milestones.
