“There is no better feeling than hopping on a plane to cross an ocean to play music. The gift of travel, friends, sweat and rock and roll is one that I’ll be forever grateful for.
This new record is a special one; it’s something you can’t plan for, but when the stars align, and the songs come together, you’ve got to just go, go, go 6 so we will. We can’t wait to get back to some of our favourite cities with some of our favourite people.”
The album’s title reportedly came from a line in a documentary about the late comedian John Candy: Macaulay Culkin describes Candy’s presence as something that “just entered your brain and cut a silhouette”, a phrase that stuck with frontman Jim Ward and shaped the record’s ambition.
Cut A Silhouette was produced by J. Robbins and includes guest turns from My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero, Chevelle’s Kemble Walters and Carlos Ar
