Pop Punk group Old Neon has announced their forthcoming EP, Resolution. Set to be released on May 23rd, 2025, Resolution was produced / engineered by Matt Brasch and mixed by Nick Steinborn (The Wonder Years), in addition to mastering by Will Yip (Scowl, Balance & Composure, Movements, L.S. Dunes, The Menzingers). Lead single “Nobody’s Burden” is out now.
Drummer Zach Pollack says about the upcoming EP:
Resolution is about fighting and making things work. Whether it’s regarding our internal struggles through making this EP, or the moments in time spoken to in the lyrics of each song – Resolution is about pushing forward when it’s really tough, because it’s worth it.
Producer Matt Brasch continues:
Not only did the band make things work on this EP, they succeeded in stepping up their craft as songwriters and performers throughout the process. Months of workshopping different ideas went into writing and rewriting the songs. The details that came out of those efforts are what makes this EP so special. They dug deep for beautiful and explosive performances and even kept their minds open to making changes that stemmed from a few “mistakes.” Those specific changes quickly became some of my favorite parts of the EP. Old Neon pushed through grueling 13-hour days and did it all with passion… and the help of a bunch of Coke Zero, Wawa mac n cheese and jokes that had everyone in stitches. We’re so proud of how everything organically came together and that only happens when everyone is willing to work hard and battle for every idea.
About lead single “Nobody’s Burden”, vocalist Drew Sipos adds:
This song is about being able to rely on yourself after you’ve been abandoned by someone you love. We wrote this song as a reminder that you can grow through anything, and one day when that person who left you comes to their senses and wants you back in their life, you should make it your goal to be too good for them. You don’t need anyone else to be complete, you are enough!
This year fans can look forward to catching the band live at LAUNCH Music Conference, in addition to a weekend tour with Afloat and Mud Whale around the release of Resolution in May.
