Radio Free Alice recently debuted their newest single, “Kick in the Shins.” The track once again sees the band collaborate with Ewan Pearson (Depeche Mode, Royksopp) and Peter Katis (Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, The National). The track follows the band’s debut release for Atlantic Records “Lunch Money.”

Following their slot at New York’s Governor’s Ball Festival last month, the band announced its return Stateside, having recently been added to Chicago’s Riot Fest on September 18.

Reflecting on the new release, Noah Learmonth shared, “‘Kick in the Shins’ is a fusion of two songs that never felt all the way complete. We loved the verse of one of them and the chorus of the other, and it worked when we combined the two. We wanted to create a song you could jump around to. At its core, it explores the feeling of being confused by the culture around you, and the isolation that often comes with that confusion.”
