I was a little late play the first single from Lit's new release, so this time I'm right on time. It's called "Mouth Open".
Here's the info I got from ken Phillips:
Whether you posted something that didn't go over well, or you accidentally sent a text to the wrong person, we all have had foot in mouth disease at some point. Sometimes you wish you would have just kept it to yourself is the impetus behind Lit’s new single, “Mouth Shut” HERE available today. You can also watch the lyric video HERE. “Mouth Shut” is off their long-awaited seventh studio album, Tastes Like Gold due June 17, 2022 Via Round Hill Records which you can pre-order HERE.
Lead guitarist Jeremy Popoff says, “We wanted to get back to the old school Lit sound with a modern day approach to the production. It took a minute to get our heads in the right place, especially with all of the craziness going on in the world. We started writing and making demos with Carlo Colasacco and YOUTHYEAR and we knew we had tapped into the vibe we were looking for. Tastes Like Gold is the album we wanted to make.” Tastes Like Gold, produced by Carlo Colasacco, YOUTHYEAR & Lit features No Doubt’s Adrian Young, Butch Walker and American Authors.
The band also recently released the track, “Kicked Off The Plane” HERE and lyric video HERE. Both “Mouth Shut” and the autobiographical “Kicked Off The Plane” follow “Yeah Yeah Yeah”- HERE (live performance video HERE & official video HERE) which was the first single from Tastes Like Gold.
Lit’s US tour is set to begin Friday, May 13 in South Carolina along with a date in the band’s hometown of Anaheim, CA at House of Blues on June 17. Additional dates throughout the summer and fall are currently being added to the schedule including a show at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI on July 2. All dates are on sale now HERE
