Indie rock band, Redlands, teamed up with PureVolume to premiere their new track “Top Shelf Liquor,” last week. “Top Shelf Liquor” is the third single off the bands sophomore EP, Adventurer, which is set to drop on July 14th, 2015. The band has plans to tour this summer, with dates to be announced soon.

About the inspiration behind “Top Shelf Liquor,” lead singer Ben Lohle explains, “I wanted this song to be an anthem for the weird and the outcasts. I was always an outcast in school, but I was cool with it, I owned it.” He continues, “This song is about being different, being yourself, and being someone that doesn’t need a title to be defined.”
Co-written with Sean and Alex Silverman of This Century and recorded with producer, Matt Malpass (Copeland, Lydia, Relient K, Manchester Orchestra), the EP showcases Redlands ability to take Rock and Roll to a whole new level.
With plans to hit the road in early 2015 in support of Adventurer, Lohle states, “I think fans will be surprised with the direction of this new album. With hints of multiple genres in our last EP from heavy Rock ’n’ Roll riffs to sing along Country rock songs, I think creating something different from that was the main idea for any kind of follow up. It’s definitely more of an indie pop rock album compared to the last set of songs, but who wants to hear the same songs twice? It’s smart to change it up and try new things”.
