Boston hardcore legends Bane released a trailer today for their upcoming album, Don’t Wait Up. The trailer, at least to longtime fans of the band, is very emotional, as they chronicle what it was like putting together their final album before they call it quits. Bane is one of the most influential modern hardcore bands in the scene, and while it’s sad to see them go, the way they are gracefully turning out the lights on their 19-year-old band is extremely respectable, and bands should be taking notes on how to say goodbye.
Don’t Wait Up comes out on May 13 on Equal Vision Records, and it is their first album in 9 years. If this isn’t one of your most anticipated hardcore records of 2014, I don’t know what is. Pre-orders are coming soon.
