To celebrate the band's new album announcement, Regional Justice Center have released a pair new singles; "Freedom" and "Take A Step Away". The group is also introducing the addition of engineer Taylor Young to the band as well as vocalist Ian Shelton's brother Max Shelton following his release from his eight year incarceration. 

Max shared the following:

Eight years ago to the day, I woke up in county jail. I was confused, I had zero recollection of what events took place to land me there, and I didn't know how long I'd be gone or when I'd be able to see and hug my family again. To be able to reclaim these dates and put something positive and hopeful in place of the trauma and anxiety that had always been wrapped around it all—that is the most beautiful full circle moment to me. Even a lotus can grow in mud. Freedom, sweet freedom.

Ian added:

When Max went away, I started RJC as a way of unpacking everything that was happening, so he's been a defining part of the band from the start—but the plan was always for him to be even more involved when he got out. I never knew exactly what that would mean until we started making this album and it became clear: he's the singer of the band. RJC has always been about Max's story and I'm happy for him to finally be able to tell it with his own voice.
