As It Is Unveils New Album
As It Is is gearing up for the release of “Never Happy When – Liba After X,” a complete reimagining of their debut album set for April 18.
Collaborations and Features
The Transatlantic punk/emo quartet has altered the original album to include guest performances on each track, collaborating with artists such as Sleep With Sirens, Sum 41, Mallory Knox, and Holding Absence.
“We felt that after celebrating a decade, a new version of ‘Never Happy’ was essential,” the band expressed. “What started as an idea to rework a few singles evolved into an ambitious project. We are thrilled that many guests, including those who influenced the original record as well as new artists, joined us in this celebration. From covering Sum 41 on YouTube to past collaborations with Kellin Quinn, this album holds special moments that reflect our journey. We can’t wait for everyone to experience this new take on ‘Never Happy’ and celebrate this milestone with so many friends and heroes—it’s hard to believe that it’s all come full circle after ten years.”
The album consists of eleven tracks, including ‘Dial Tons X’ featuring Lucas Woodland from Holding Absence and ‘Speak Softly X’ with Kellin Quinn from Sleep With Sirens.
