Veara Set to Release New Album; Premier New Track

By Leave a Comment

Veara are set to release their new album, Growing Up Is Killing Me, on September 24 on Epitaph Records. The band is streaming a new song titled “The Worst Part of You”, take a listen below.

Patrick Bambrick states:

When we say ‘Growing Up Is Killing Me’ it relates to the fact that you don’t have the same outlook on Christmas morning when you’re 28 as you did when you were eight years old. We’re not judging those feelings but sometimes it hurts to see those types of experiences change and watch time go by so quickly as you get older.

Veara is eager to share their music as a form of therapy and a celebration of life. Growing Up Is Killing Me is about life’s growing pains and universal struggles. They hope that when fans listen to the album, they know that they are not alone in the process of growing up.
