Today, Between You & Me’s long awaited sophomore album ‘Armageddon’ has arrived in full force. Featuring ten electrifying tracks, the new record is a heart-on-sleeve account of what it is to be human, and holds a mirror up to the various responsibilities, roles, and relationships we share. The band will tour ‘Armageddon’ nationally throughout February 2022, performing to crowds in Canberra, Wollongong, Newcastle, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Fremantle.

The creation of ‘Armageddon’ is underpinned by a string of setbacks and happenstance, beginning with the band’s tour in North America in March last year. Their plans to record their sophomore LP with Canadian producer Sam Guaiana (Silverstein, Like Pacific) following their live dates came to an abrupt halt as the global pandemic persisted, and the band were required to return home to Australia without an album and without a plan.

Navigating months of lockdowns and living in different states, Between You & Me eventually secured an exemption to bring Guaiana to Australia and record the album. While the 10 month delay proved initially disheartening, there’s a silver lining – Between You & Me have produced their most collaborative effort to date. With all members bringing something new to the table after a period of reflection and isolation, new themes were explored and new songs were written. With newfound perspective, frontman Jake Wilson remarks “If this was going to be our last ever record, I wanted it to be a body of work that I could reflect on fondly – regardless of how ‘successful’ it was.”

Listeners will note a refinement and evolution of the band’s sound since the release of their debut record ‘Everything Is Temporary’ in 2018.

“Whilst it took three years between releases, the journey to release ‘Armageddon’ has certainly shaped the way it sounds,” says Wilson. “The past 18 months has given us the chance to pause and reflect on the opportunities that we have in front of us. We get to write and perform music for people across the world and this release has become monumental for us. Whilst it has been an extremely difficult period for our band to navigate, ‘Armageddon’ certainly wouldn’t have turned out the way it did without all the challenges along the way.”

‘Armageddon’ was produced, engineered and mixed by Sam Guaiana (Silverstein), engineered by Jack Newlyn (Paradise Club), and mastered by Grant Berry of Fader Mastering (Stand Atlantic / Yours Truly).

Earlier this week, the band revealed the album’s final single ‘Go To Hell’ featuring Mikaila Delgado of Yours Truly. It made its debut on Triple J’s Good Nights program with Bridget Hustwaite on Monday night, with a spin the following evening on Home & Hosed with Declan Byrne as well as this week’s Short.Fast.Loud, and an abundance of fan support across social media.

The release followed previous singles ‘Change’, ‘Butterflies’ and ‘Deadbeat’, the latter of which was swiftly picked up by Triple J as a spot addition, with all singles receiving airplay at the station alongside high rotation on Triple J Unearthed. In recent months, the singles have been accompanied by praise and coverage from the likes of BBC Radio 1 (UK), BLUNT Magazine, NME, Music Feeds, Tone Deaf, Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Wall of Sound, LiveWire AU and more. The singles have also collectively clocked up over 1.5million streams and received immediate playlisting support from DSPs, including Spotify’s New Music Friday AU/NZ, New Noise, All New Rock, New Punk Tracks, FORYOU, Rock Out and more.

With their influences ranging from blink-182, Foo Fighters, The 1975 and Hanson, Between You & Me have proved sonically versatile while moving from strength to strength. It’s this trait, combined with the band’s explosive live shows and infectious energy, that has seen them ink a deal with LA-based alternative music label Hopeless Records, and conquer stages across Australia, USA, Europe and the UK. Their growing resume includes touring with the likes of The Maine, Neck Deep, Waterparks and Tonight Alive, alongside a performance at the renowned UK festival, Slam Dunk.
