Vancouver thrash-infused Skatepunk crew Blacked Out has announced the release of a new EP entitled “Wasted Breath”. The new offering is due out March 27 on CD and vinyl format via Thousand Islands Records, right on time for the band’s tour with legendary skatepunk unit, Belvedere.
Pre-orders will soon be available, in the meantime you can find below the video for the title track, the album artwork and tour itinerary.
Blending a solid mix of skate-punk and thrash, Blacked Out is what happens when four old friends get together to play music they would have been stoked on when they were teenagers.

Dens have always found their mission in using music as a platform to creatively and honestly explore themes of faith, hope, redemption, and grace. In 2018 the band released their guitar-driven post-rock Facedown debut EP “No Small Tempest” and won the hearts of Facedown fans with their outstanding, singable choruses. Now “Taming Tongues,” the revelatory new album from Dens, comes to grips with the current state of shattered communication and subjective truths. “Taming Tongues” explores how words can be life-giving or destructive, and emotions can be the salt of life or the fuel that gets thrown on a fire.
Dens’ ability to walk the line between heavy and ambient is fortified on “Taming Tongues,” with unforgettable vocal hooks and melodies that give the passionate message a solid place to land.
“Taming Tongues” is out March 6. Stream the single “Even” now
