April 4th, 2017 – Singapore – Hopeless Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Tonight Alive. Additionally, the band has signed to UNFD in Australia and New Zealand. The band has a new song and music video for “World Away”, which can be seen on the band’s website, here: tonightalive.com
The 5-piece band hailing from Sydney, Australia has always been a voice of their generation, and “World Away” is no different. On the new track, vocalist Jenna McDougall says “‘World Away’ is a continuation of our quest for self-understanding and empowerment, but this time through developing a personal relationship with darkness. In a society that conditions us to suppress and shy away from confronting emotions, we wrote an invitation in World Away to shake hands with what scares us most and begin recognizing the opportunity for growth in struggle. Produced by Dave Petrovic (The Other Side, The Edge) we are sharing World Away with our fans as the introduction to the sound of the next chapter of Tonight Alive.” The band will record their new album this summer.
Tonight Alive is composed of vocalist Jenna McDougall, lead guitarist Whakaio Taahi, rhythm guitarist Jake Hardy, bassist Cameron Adler and drummer Matt Best. A force on the global music scene, Tonight Alive have released a trio of successful albums with ‘The Other Side’ (2013) and ‘Limitless’ (2016) debuting on the Australian Aria Chart at #5 and #6 respectively.
On signing Tonight Alive, Hopeless Records’ EVP Business Development and A&R, Eric Tobin, says “We are excited to have Tonight Alive join the family! We have been fans for a long time and look forward to working with them.”
