Rock trio Starting Early are finishing up the year by releasing their 4-track Bethesda EP, following up on their debut album Hello in 2023.

Starting with the title track and lead single, “Bethesda” conjures a “feeling of yearning for a long-lost love and the familiar mindless ritual of time spent on the road to work and through everyday life.”

The album also features the tracks “Summer Sun” and “Do As I Do” which are enlivened by Jazz trumpeter, Joseph Brotherton. The EP is rounded out with “Angie Harmon (Motion to Dismiss)” which “animates an underlying tongue-in-cheek feud between two lawyers publicly disputing their love affair in an intellectual game of chess.”
