Today, Bleachers release their new track “Stop Making This Hurt” along with the music video, directed by Carlotta Kohl. Bleachers third LP Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night will be released July 30th, 2021 via RCA Records.
Additionally, Bleachers will be hitting the road this fall on their ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night’ headline tour. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 21st at 10am local time.
The tour kicks off on September 11th, 2021 at Jack’s ‘Shadow of the City’ festival in New Jersey.
Bleachers will be performing “Stop Making This Hurt” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 26th – making them the first full band to perform in-studio in over a year.
Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff says, “’Stop Making This Hurt’ is what you get when we are not allowed to go play for our people. it’s a line that had been ringing in my head for years. i fell into a dark place after a loss and then starting to have that feeling of rage towards the depression – which is when you know there’s a way out. started looking at the people close to me in my life and finding all the ways we keep ourselves from breaking through. “Stop Making This Hurt” started ringing more and more in my head. then the pandemic hit and i got the band in a room and we played like we may never play again. at that point it took on another meaning. found myself banging at the door of the next phase of my life and to open brings up all the darkness from the past and what’s holding you back. i could intellectualize it for days but what im truly left with is a voice in my head shouting “Stop Making This Hurt”.”
“Stop Making This Hurt” is the first single and third offering from Bleachers’ forthcoming album and follows previously released tracks “Chinatown” feat. Bruce Springsteen and “45” which were met with mass critical praise in late 2020.
