With Honor release new single ‘The Weight’

Punk/hardcore band With Honor is excited to announce the premiere of their video for “The Weight”, the fourth single off their upcoming album Boundless, out the 8th September via Pure Noise Records.

According to singer Todd Mackey 

“‘The Weight’ is a love song, through and through. There is nothing better in life than building day to day with exactly who you love and want to be beside”.

Adds guitarist Jeff Aust 

“The music flowed effortlessly for this song; it’s just a relentless burst of energy. The video aligns with the album’s theme of reconnecting with nature, while also offering a subtle nod to the 90’s alt videos we all loved. Our goal was to capture the nostalgia and true magic of playing outdoors as children. We had an absolute blast creating it with Director Andrew Formale and drone photographer Zack Aquilino, filmed at the property of friends, alongside some of our families”.

The band recently announced the release of new album Boundless. Hot on the heels of the remastered release of their classic first LP Heart Means Everything in 2022 on Pure Noise, this is their first new music since the 2005 album This Is Our Revenge.

They’ve pulled it off perfectly. In fact, if you didn’t know better, the twelve songs on Boundless could easily have been made right after that last record – they contain, incredibly, that same fiery passion and youthful energy that defined With Honor back when they first started.

Recorded at Silver Bullet Studios in Burlington, CT, run by longtime friend of the band and producer Greg Thomas (END, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud, The Risk Taken) and Chris Teti (The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die), Boundless captures the unbridled energy of the band’s live performance. Focusing on themes of nature, self-healing, and inner peace, the album also tackles the socio-economic issues of poverty, gun-violence, and patriarchy. The twelve tracks might sound like one frenzied burst of energy, but the writing process was more considered – With Honor wanted it to sound organic and natural in other words, true to who both who they are and who they were – rather than forced and contrived.

“We named the record after it was all done” Mackey says “The whole idea that there’s no limit just resonates all the way through this record. There’s a lot of observing nature healing itself and then believing in that for yourself—and as a result you’re kind of unlimited in that way. And so having the title Boundless just felt the way we wanted it to feel, which, in so many ways, is what this record is all about”.
