Post-punk/darkwave legends PINK TURNS BLUE presents 'Not Gonna Take It' ahead of new EP & TAINTED 2022 tour
[2022-08-12]
Ahead of their long-awaited TAINTED 2022 tour, iconic darkwave-postpunk pioneers Pink Turns Blue present the single'Not Gonna Take It', the first taste of their 'TAINTED Tour-2022 EP', which will be released on September 2 when the tour kicks off in Seattle.
Riding on the strength of their 'Tainted' album, released in late 2021 via Orden Records, Pink Turns Blue will bring this music closer to home to music lovers from one coast to another while also sharing four new songs reflecting their emotional state in today's world.
Both the 'Tainted' LP and the new EP relate to a world in havoc and the seemingly powerlessness of today's youth to take over the world and change it for the better. But this album is also a call to never give up, to never lose faith or the understanding that making this world just a bit better every day is what makes our lives worth living.
With potent singles such as 'Not Even Trying', 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me', 'There Must Be So Much More' and 'So Why Not Save The World' address such themes as climate change, its effects, the reaction to it, the split within society, isolation, health risks and financial uncertainty.
As of August 12, 'Not Gonna Take It' will be released everywhere online. The 'Tainted' LP is available now via Apple Music and Spotify, with CD and limited-edition vinyl editions available via the band's website. September 2 marks the launch of the TAINTED 2022 tour, for which tickets can be ordered at https://pinkturnsblue.com/live-dates.
