Originally surfacing this past March, XTRMST—the new ‘straight edge hardcore’ band from AFI vocalist Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget—will release their self-titled debut on November 18th. Dim Mak Records will be handling the release of the album with the first single “Conformist” to be launched this coming Tuesday, October 07th. For now, a stream of the bands track “Words For The Unwanted” is available below.
Davey Havok said of the impetus for the group:
“Jade and I have been talking about starting a straight edge hardcore band for years. We started writing and recording in early 2012 and chose the name XTRMST because it expresses the messages represented on the record. The straight edge movement is not one of moderation. It’s based in undeniable objective truths.”
Puget—who also produced and mixed the outing—added:
“The straight edge philosophy is something that Davey and I gravitated towards at a young age, drawn by concepts and ideals that seem almost foreign in modern society. Like much of the other subcultures we were a part of growing up, it put us at odds with 99% of the people around us, which was something we embraced. Being sXe for over 20 years and being musicians, it seemed natural that this crucial ideology would find a musical expression.”
