ONE TIME FOR UNITY (BLACK/WHITE SPLATTER VINYL)

One Time for Unity is the new five-song EP from?WORLD BE FREE, the Los Angeles-based band?formed in 2014 and is comprised of vocalist?Scott Vogel (TERROR, BURIED ALIVE), guitarist Joe?Garlipp (ENVY), guitarist Andrew Kline (STRIFE,?BERTHOLD CITY), drummer Sammy Siegler?(JUDGE, CIV, RIVAL SCHOOLS), and bassist Alex?Barreto (CHAIN OF STRENGTH, EXCEL).?Barreto recently joined the fold, replacing?Arthur Smilios (GORILLA BISCUITS) who was?the lone member living on the East Coast,?making it geographically difficult for the bassist?to participate. Band members are all key?ingredients, you change one and it can influence?the sound, says Siegler, Alex's approach is more?agro, heavier and you hear that in this music.?Since releasing their debut full-length album,?The Anti-Circle, on Revelation Records in 2016,?WORLD BE FREE played a handful of shows, but?were sidelined by everyone's schedules (Garlipp?is a tour manager for THE WHO), and frontman?Vogel's neck surgery.?During this forced hiatus, WORLD BE FREE?continued to write new material, and when the?moment presented itself, they focused on the?five tracks which eventually became One Time?for Unity.?The self-produced EP was tracked with Davey?Warsop, and the vocals were recorded with Nick?Jett, the same team that worked on WORLD?BE FREE's previous release. They brought?in Jon Markson for the mix and worked with?Jason Peterson on the visuals. Known for his?photography, Peterson is an old-school Arizona?hardcore kid who played in WINDS OF CHANGE?(formerly YOUTH UNDER CONTROL).?During the peak of the COVID-19 lockdown, the?members of WORLD BE FREE got scrappy and?pieced together a video for the song Down &?Beyond, self-shooting and relying on Joseph?Pattisall to bring the compiled visuals to life.?Chuck Ragan of HOT WATER MUSIC provides guest?vocals on the EP's title track, one of the more?melodic moments on the record. Vogel says of the?cameo, HOT WATER MUSIC is my favorite band?ever, so to have him on a song is a dream come?true for sure. Having Walter (Shreifels) on the first record, and now Chuck on this second release, is?really special for me. I would have never imagined?this would come together in my lifetime.?MARKETING / SELLING POINTS?* Jason Peterson shot the cover and insert?photo?* Guest vocals on One Time For Unity by?Chuck Ragan (HOT WATER MUSIC)?* Mixed by Jon Markson (DRUG CHURCH,?BROTHER TIGER) at Savaria Studios in?Brooklyn, NY?* Music Video for Down & Beyond by?Joseph Pattisall (Wall Writers, The Legend Of?Cool Disco Dan)?* Digital download included?* Black & White Sunburst vinyl?* INDEPENDENT RETAIL EXCLUSIVE Navy Blue?Marble vinyl?* Laser-etched B-side??TRACK LIST?1.
