There comes a point where moving through life is no longer as simple as lather, rinse, repeat. Terribly powerful as it is, your mind can trap you in place, its thoughts weighing so heavily on you that your limbs simply don’t want to propel you forward anymore. We all experience these bouts of mental health lapses, and Canadian garage punks Tough Age have now given that feeling its own anthem.
It’s not just angsty unrest that inspired “Me in Glue”, as Tough Age reveal in our latest Origins feature. Check out the trio’s collection of inspirations, which includes everything from Rush to The Urinals, ahead.
Pre-orders for Shame are going on here. You can also catch Tough Age on select tour dates this fall; their full itinerary is below.
