  • Description

    After releasing their 'Kerrang Top 50 Album of 2020' & seething debut album 'Paradise', Scotland's Rock'n'Roll 3-piece Cold Years were about to reap the fruits of their labour touring the world spreading their 'fist in the air' punk rock anthems when the world came to a holt. While for many this kind of obstacle would have stopped them in their tracks but not Cold Years, the time for pissing & moaning is done.


    With singer/guitarist Ross Gordon relocating to Glasgow, never making any secret of his frustrations with feeling trapped in the suffocating environs of his native Aberdeen, inspiration for album 2 'Goodbye To Misery' was born.


    Written remotely throughout the first 3 months of 2021, Cold Years found a fresh approach to create using daily Zoom sessions to write emailing ideas back and to throughout the second lockdown. With a change of scenery and this fresh approach to writing, 'Goodbye To Misery' is 12 tracks born out of the want for a more positive future rather than the self-destruction & misery of 2020's 'Paradise'. Recorded in May 2021 the band yet again travelled south to The Ranch Studios in Southampton to work with long-time collaborator Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor, Milk Teeth).


    "This record is us saying you can break away from those things that are bringing you down. It's about standing up for yourself and not letting anybody tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing. It's a defiant statement."

    This was probably coming. The dam was surely always going to break. Had you listened to Ross Gordon speak over the past few years, read between the lines of his lyrics, or paid attention to the more seething moments of Cold Years' 2020 debut album Paradise, you could have predicted that something had to give. As the incendiary spirit of the band's new album Goodbye To Misery attests, 'something' might be an understatement. Everything has changed. This is the sound of the fight-or-flight kicking in, of deciding that enough is enough, and the trio – completed by guitarist Fin Urquhart and bassist Louis Craighead – demanding better. Most importantly, it's them doing something about it all. The time for pissing and moaning is done. As the singer and guitarist succinctly puts it, "I'm not self-destructive or miserable anymore." In the past, Ross never made any secret of his frustrations with feeling trapped in the suffocating environs of his native Aberdeen. It'll surprise no one to learn that he's recently moved south to Glasgow. A relocation that's as much about sanity and survival as it is an escape. "I'd never lived away from home before, but I needed to get away. My heart just wasn't in the place I was from anymore. I'd changed. I wanted to become a better person, and I think I did. For the first time in my life since I was a kid, I actually feel like I have a home now."
