The new song is called “Me Against Myself” and it combines real lyrics with a catchy sound that we just can’t get enough of.

“‘Me Against Myself‘ is probably our farthest journey into the melodic world. From the very first demo, we knew it was special,” guitarist/vocalist Cody Quistad said about the track. “The lyrics are about as transparent as it gets dealing with the fact that a lot of times, we’re our own worst enemy. We’ve always prided ourselves on being versatile and pushing ourselves to create something new and different, and that’s what this song stands for.”
You can listen to “Me Against Myself” below.
Earlier this month, Wage War announced the details about their third full-length and shared the first single from the record.
The album is set to drop August 30th. Along with the record, the band announced a headlining tour and dropped “Who I Am.”
“We’ve spent countless hours, days, and months over the first half of this year perfecting every detail of this album, and it’s been so hard to keep under wraps,” the band said in a press release. “We are glad it’s finally here. We pushed every boundary we could think of to make this record.
“Picking songs to release ahead of an album is always a difficult task but we chose ‘Who I Am’ to be the frontrunner. It’s ‘Wage War on 11.’ Lyrically, the song dives into the reality of the people who inevitably look down on you or talk down to the things you invest yourself in or who you try to be. We sometimes forget that we’re all human beings and we all feel and hurt.”

The band also said there are songs on the album about feeling a pressure to succeed and that are about mental health.
“There are songs on the album that speak of not succumbing to pressure and being just another face in the crowd, but more so making a change in yourself and the world around you. Being in a band, making music, playing shows in one way or another all comes with a ‘Pressure,’ and how you deal with it is what determines who you are. This record is our response.”
