Expire come out swinging for final album with "Fighting The Slip"—exclusive

Expire grew from Midwestern roots in 2009 to become fixtures in hardcore, consistently releasing music and touring the globe. A few days ago, they announced plans to call it a day come Spring 2017. They've planned a grand exit before doing so; Their third and final album, With Regret, drops on September 23, 2016 from Bridge Nine Records. AltPress is premiering the first taste of that, “Fighting The Slip.” Recorded at Chicago's Bricktop Studios with Andy Nelson (True Love, Weekend Nachos), Regret ends an era as heavy as one could hope for and meaner than ever. They'll tour worldwide once more in support, with many dates already lined up at the bottom.

PRE-ORDERS: Bridge Nine Store

PREMIERE: “Fighting The Slip” from the band's final album, With Regret

PARTING WORDS: “Come Spring of next year, we’ll be putting the band to rest. There isn’t some huge explanation to give. To put it simply, we all decided that we would rather end it on our terms and when we want to, rather than fade off. We’ve never been the type to only play a few shows here and there or sit dormant for any amount of time. Expire started as a band that didn’t know how to slow down and that’s the way we’ll end it.  This band snowballed into something none of us planned for and before it’s done, we want to extend a very real thank you to anyone and everyone who had a part in it over the past 7 years. Writing this comes with a pretty insane feeling, but really; thanks for supporting us, it’s been fun.
 
Starting in September, we’ll begin to say our goodbyes. Not even going to pretend like we will make it to every single city that’s meant something to us, but we’ll sure as hell try.  Below are the dates we have as of now. Our final U.S. tour will be next spring so expect that to be announced sometime in the next few months.
 
Obviously with all of this being said, With Regret will be our final album. We could toss in one of a thousand clichés about it but simply put, it’s the record we wanted to leave on.”
