Merchandise<\/a>, the post-punk band from Tampa, Florida, are back with their first new music in nine years. \u201cYou Shot Me Down (Single Mix)<\/a>\u201d follows the group\u2019s 2016 album, A Corpse Wired for Sound<\/em><\/a>, and it arrives via frontman Carson Cox<\/a>\u2019s new digital label, Symbol + Sound<\/a>. Hear the track below.<\/p>\n

Merchandise\u2014the trio of singer Carson Cox, guitarist David Vassalotti<\/a>, and bassist Patrick Brady\u2014have been largely dormant since sharing A Corpse Wired for Sound<\/em> and finishing their tour<\/a> in support of the album in 2017. Vassalotti, in 2019, released the solo album Guitar Dream<\/em><\/a>, and Cox launched<\/a> Symbol + Sound in May, making Vassalotti\u2019s Deep Space Willie<\/em><\/a> his first release on the label.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been working on our 6th Lp since 2019,\u201d Cox shared<\/a> in an update to fans. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say how long it should take to finish an album in the chaos of these past years but it\u2019s coming soon, just not quite yet. All the same I wanted to share something, after a long time of radio silence.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThis for the fans that after all these years still ask me for new music. Myself and my bandmates all live in different cities, we have different live now but i still have more to say with this project. It\u2019s a lot harder to make anything work now as we all know but I don\u2019t feel like I should let it stop me. I know music can still open hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vassalotti added<\/a>: \u201cMerch ain’t dead, we\u2019ve been slowly and steadily working on new material over the past seven years. This is just a taste. Much more to come (LP perhaps). Life gets harder, getting together with friends to be creative gets harder (esp w\/ a thousand miles in between), but it\u2019s still so satisfying to collaborate with my brothers on this project \ud83d\udc93.\u201d<\/p>\n
