Among Criminals frontman Ryan Gaughan tells us about the song "Patience and Regret" from their brand new album "Kill The Precedent", which will be hitting stores on April 7th. Here is the story:
Honestly, this song stands out as being an almost love song amidst an angsty punk album. Sparking a bit of hope. Shortly after a really rough few months, when I was down on myself pretty hard I met 3 different women, all of whom shome I meant far more than I was giving myself credit for. In a tequila drowned promiscuous year, they gave me hope that life would come back around. Funnily enough neither one of them knows its about themd!
The song was written as a folk song for another project, but with Bhauraws magic touch we pulled it into Among Criminals territory. The reason for giving the song a chance on the album was to give the album and opening of hope. With a title like "Kill The Precedent" Songs like "President" and "I
Don't Believe You", we wanted to offer a glimpse of sunlight in not only a dark political time, but a dark time in myself.
The production we feel really fit the part, and we loved it as an opener as it doesn't really set the tone for the record, unless you understand where this record is coming from personally.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
