The ferocious follow up to 2016’s ‘A Common Agony’ features lightning fast skatepunk
tuneage and is the band’s most technical and refined music to date. Includes guest
artists Steve Rawles (Belvedere), Étienne Dionne (Mute), Geir Pedersen (Adhesive)
and Valérie Morin.

Of the new single, “These Fast Times,” the band says, “_We live in a lifetime where
our lives are laid out on a strict timeline. The hourglass empties itself at a fast
pace but we are so blinded by evolution, that we hardly see the end of its race.
As we grew up younger, it seemed like we weren’t so rushed to live our lives ; possibly
the main source of that was the lack of technology and progress as we see it today.
Maybe it’s time to go back to our old habits and live more instead of consuming 
more. We may have evolved as per say, but in another way it seems like we’re getting
further away from how our human lives were intended to thrive.”_

**About:** 
Our Darkest Days is a fast Canadian melodic/skatepunk band formed in
Quebec City in 2012, by former band members consisting of singer Vince Fournier,
guitarists Dann Greene and Russ Almond along with drummer Matt Leclerc. Bassist 
Jam Gosselin joined the following year. Most of the current members have been around
playing punk rock for over 20 years, and still keep the flame burning stronger than
ever.

Throughout the years, a few lineup changes occurred including Guillaume Fortin on
drums, Claude Plamondon and John Leblanc on guitars. In the process of writing new
material, they defined a unique and original sound that would stand apart amongst
many other punk rock acts. However, their influences still today are reflected by
90’s punk rock bands such as Ignite, Propagandhi, Lagwagon, Good Riddance, Strung
Out etc. The band’s first demo was released in 2013, followed by a split in Fall
2014 with Set It Back and then the first full length A COMMON AGONY in 2016 on the
US label Bird Attack Records.

After several shows and tours from 2016 to 2018, John leaves the band and Seb Ladouceur
takes over the lead guitar, and in the end of 2019 Sean Connors then replaces Guillaume
Fortin on drums. At the same time, Montreal-based independent record label, Thousand
Islands Records, announces the addition of Our Darkest Days to its roster and plans
of a new album coming out in Fall 2021 are revealed, which will also be released
in Europe through Lockjaw Records.
