Goodbye To Misery

After releasing their "Kerrang Top 50 Album of 2020" and seething debut album Paradise, Aberdeen's Rock'n'Roll three-piece Cold Years were about to reap the fruits of their labour touring the world spreading their 'fist in the air' punk rock anthems when the world came to a holt...

While for many this kind of obstacle would have stopped them in their tracks but not Cold Years, the time for pissing and moaning is done. With singer/guitarist Ross Gordon relocating to Glasgow, never making any secret of his frustrations with feeling trapped in the suffocating environs of his native Aberdeen, inspiration for album two - Goodbye To Misery was born.

Written remotely throughout the first three months of 2021, Cold Years found a fresh approach to create using daily Zoom sessions to write emailing ideas back and to throughout the second lockdown. With a change of scenery and this fresh approach to writing, Goodbye To Misery is 12 tracks born out of the want for a more positive future rather than the self-destruction and misery of 2020's Paradise.

Recorded in May 2021 the band yet again travelled south to The Ranch Studios in Southampton to work with long-time collaborator Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor, Milk Teeth).
