Today, rising Minnesota indie-rock band Remo Drive have announced their new album, Natural, Everyday Degradation. While the record will not be released until May 31st via Epitaph Records, the band have released two new songs, “Two Bux” and “The Grind.”

Remo Drive vocalist/guitarist Erik Paulson explains, “Two Bux is about coming of age, moral conflict, and guilt. At some point in most people’s lives, they decide they would like to try some of the things their childhood rulebook would not allow. These experiences have the power to be both pleasurable and confusing. More often than not, it is some combination of both.” 

On “The Grind” Paulson adds, “this song is about the tensions of being in a band written in the style of a love song. Creating music, traveling, and performing are, in their center, nearly identical to the things that make romantic, familial, and platonic relationships so impactful. The aforementioned experiences are also the same things that make these relationships so difficult. It felt natural and cathartic to tie these ideas together by way of a song.” 

Remo Drive have also launched pre-orders for the new record, which you can check out here. Additionally, they will be heading out on a headlining North American tour this summer. Find all of those tour dates below.
