Check out the second single "Empty Canvas" from Gates’ upcoming album, “Parallel Lives”, out June 3rd via Pure Noise Records.

The band will tour with La Dispute and Thrice this summer, tickets can be purchased here. The physical pre-order is now available through Pure Noise Records here, and digitally through iTunes here. 

Living in New York City, Gates' Kevin Dye began to look at the world differently. It's that inspiration that birthed “Parallel Lives”, the indie rock quintet's sophomore album out June 3 on Pure Noise Records. Co-produced by Dye and Mike Watts (The Dear Hunter, As Tall As Lions), the album features the band experimenting with different instruments as they reach new sounds.

"Trying to absorb and deal with how you can't know everyone, and you won't ever know how they affect your lives or how you're affecting others with simple things you're saying or doing. I tried to hone in on that and use these songs to get that point across."
