Modern Life Is War return with first new studio LP in 12 years 'Life on the Moon'

Esteemed Midwestern hardcore punk unit Modern Life Is War have announced their first new proper full-length in more than twelve years.

The new outing is titled Life on the Moon and is slated to arrive on September 5 via Deathwish Inc. (digital) and Iodine Recordings (physical). The LP's first single, "Johnny Gone," can be heard below.

Vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton comments:

"A subvertisement. A joke? A Riddle. I feel so obsolete when it comes to all this and honestly it's about time. I am constantly thinking of quitting. Johnny (not John Paul Eich, nor John Lyndon nor John Lennon) has been called an aimless folk zero. Accused of riding around in cars and printing revolutionary newspapers and going broke. He has ideas that burn him awake at night, he cannot hold a job. He is erotically moved by economic threats in white envelopes from government agencies. From East Palestine Ohio to Tehran Iran. A song to settle the score and use the platform for something worth it, for once and for the first time, try to have fun with it. Like a neurotic flash of lightning. A ball of fire in the night sky from a chattery missile sent to shatter peacetime. Starring Mickey Mouse, Mahsa Amini, Jinx, Jane and the Queen of California."
