Watch A Day To Remember get animated for a battle with a "Mindreader"
A Day To Remember may not have their entire new record You’re Welcome coming out for a foreseeable future, but they’re delivering on their promise for new music with “Mindreader.”
Following “Degenerates” and “Resentment,” the band are revealing the new track alongside a sweet music video which sees them getting animated while a guy goes through a battle with a psychic.

Earlier in the week, we got confirmation that new music would be arriving before the album drop following a vague teaser posted last week.
They posted a Zoom call between all of the members saying the cover art and release date are still not finalized but new music will be here soon.
In the video, the band jokingly say people who want to know what they’re up to should call a psychic. They include a phone number, 1 (352) 458-4759, which opens with a “mind reader” discussing having the answers to anyone’s questions. It tells listeners to text the number and you then receive a link to add your contact info for an A Day To Remember mailing list.

The band announced their upcoming album You’re Welcome back in August, around the time they revealed their first song in three years “Degenerates.”
The release date was originally set for November 15 but was delayed a week before on November 8. Shortly after, guitarist Kevin Skaff said the reason for the album delay was so they could get every aspect of the LP perfect.
“It got pushed back because the art for the record isn’t done yet,” Skaff says. “We still can’t find a good cover for the record. I know it doesn’t really matter nowadays, with streaming and everything, but we just want everything to be perfect before it comes out.”
“And there are still a couple of songs that are still getting mixed that we just need to find the right mixer. It’s only getting pushed back -what?- two, two and a half months, so it’s not too bad. It’s not like a Kanye [West] thing where it’s never gonna come out.”
