Pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The album is named after an El Salvador saying about not fighting other people\u2019s ego-based battles and, like the title suggests, sees the band back together, harnessing the joy of making music again, and letting go of external pressure.<\/p>\n Lyrically, it will feature sharp reflections of the world around us, and showcase a social commentary alongside a new outlook, fresh musical avenues, and an underlying sense of freedom.<\/p>\n The first taster of the record arrives today in the form of \u2018They Ain\u2019t Your Friends\u2019 \u2013 which takes aim at the fake allegiances of the online world and the hypocrisies of the modern music industry.<\/p>\n
