We Are The In Crowd have announced that they will be releasing album, Weird Kids, on February 17th, 2014 via Hopeless Records. Weird Kids, which is produced by John Feldmann (The Used, Yellowcard, All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco.) This is We Are The In Crowd’s follow-up release to their successful debut album, Best Intentions, which launched the band into worldwide exposure. The band will be releasing the first single off the album with a new music video and launching album pre-orders on December 10th. U.K Tour Dates have also been announced with the group performing at the 02 Academy on Hotham Street on February 3rd.
About the new record, the band’s frontwoman, Tay Jardine, says, “I don’t know that I’ve felt this way about our other records,” She continues, “I’ve been proud of our band for finishing an album. I was happy we got it done. But I’m really proud of this record, and that’s not something I can say easily…I’m as happy with it as I possibly could be.”
The New York state quintet, consisting of lead vocalist Tay Jardine, vocalist/guitarist Jordan Eckes, guitarist Cameron Hurley, bassist Mike Ferri and drummer Rob Chianelli, is finally taking its time after four whirlwind years together. Only being formed in 2009, the band released its debut E.P, Guaranteed To Disagree, in 2010 before pumping out its debut full-length, Best Intentions, in 2011. They’ve been touring heavily during that entire timeframe, sharing the stage with All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Yellowcard, Never Shout Never and many more.
With Eckes, Hurley, Ferri, Chianelli and Jardine meshing their talents together in what Jardine calls an “all-time high” of creativity for the group, the results speak for themselves. Some songs on the new album started sounding like smooth R&B tracks – others were characterized by funky basslines early on. That’s not what they sound like on Weird Kids, but the end result is certainly the band’s most diverse record to date. Until now, We Are The In Crowd has been been an up-and-comer. A promising young band. A group full of potential. The new kids on pop-punk’s crowded block. Weird Kids is here to change that.
