There comes a time for many bands when they need to take a break, and unfortunately earlier this afternoon Sorority Noise announced that after their upcoming UK and US tours, they would be going on hiatus. In a statement shared on Facebook, vocalist / guitarist Cam Boucher explained that “it’s in my heart and mind’s best interest to take a break from the band for a while,” and encouraged fans to search for new music during their time away and “listen to what [these bands] have to say.” Read the full statement below.

“hello all,

this may come as unexpected news but after our upcoming UK/US tours, Sorority Noise will be going on hiatus. I consider each person in this band and crew to be a member of my family and I love them with every ounce of my being but I think it’s in my heart and mind’s best interest to take a break from the band for a while. thank you all so much for your endless support and i know i speak for everyone when i say that these past few years have been beyond our wildest imaginations. in our time away, use this opportunity to find new bands, ones you might not normally listen to, and listen to what they have to say.

ynaayt is streaming early everywhere now and our tour starts in a week.

take care of yourselves and we’ll hopefully talk to you soon.

cam”

Two weeks ahead of the planned release, Sorority Noise are now streaming YNAAYT, a stripped-down, reimagined version of their 2017 album You’re Not As _____ As You Think. The album can be heard on Spotify below and is available digitally on all major services here. Physical copies will be available on March 16 via Triple Crown Records and are available via sororitynoise.com.

The vinyl edition of YNAAYT is part of the Mindful Vinyl series with a portion of proceeds being donated to the JED Foundation, a non-profit that works to prevent suicide and support the emotional health of teens and young adults. Learn more about the JED Foundation at jedfoundation.org.
