Noisy alt-rockers A-Tota-So return with ‘Masks’, the latest single to be lifted from their forthcoming album I Told You So, due for release on 4th September via bUTTONpUSHER Records. You can pre-order it on Vinyl, CD or Digitally HERE

It was recorded by JT Soar & Snug Recordings, Mixed by Mark Roberts and Mastered by Stephen Kerrison.

“Masks is about the pressures of having to pretend everything is okay, even when you’re struggling inside and what it’s like to carry those feelings while trying to hide them from the people around you. It’s a song for anyone who has ever put on a brave face while dealing with their own battles. It’s a song of two halves so be sure to stick around for the heavy ending.”

‘Masks’ continues A-Tota-So’s knack for pairing emotionally honest songwriting with expansive noise rock with elements of grunge, math rock and post hardcore all making an appearance. Rather than relying on familiar formulas, the band have consistently embraced evolution, balancing melody, atmosphere and weight while developing a reputation for intense live performances which also involve an ever growing army of guest vocalists with the band now having worked with 97 different guests live.

With I Told You So set to arrive on the 4th September, A-Tota-So will take the new material on the road for an extensive run of UK and Ireland dates and are always looking for more shows if any promoters or bands out there would like to get in touch.
