Listen to Merchandise's First New Song Since 2016
Briefly

Merchandise, the post-punk band from Tampa, returns with their first new music since 2016, titled "You Shot Me Down (Single Mix)". This release is linked to frontman Carson Cox's digital label, Symbol + Sound. The band has been relatively inactive since their last album, but Cox has been working on their sixth LP since 2019. He expresses enthusiasm for sharing new material after a long hiatus, acknowledging the difficulties of collaboration due to geographical distances. Guitarist David Vassalotti asserts the band's ongoing creative efforts and commitment to their music.
"I've been working on our 6th LP since 2019. It's hard to say how long it should take to finish an album in the chaos of these past years but it's coming soon, just not quite yet. All the same I wanted to share something, after a long time of radio silence."
"This is just a taste. Much more to come (LP perhaps). Life gets harder, getting together with friends to be creative gets harder (esp w/ a thousand miles in between), but it's still so satisfying to collaborate with my brothers on this project."
