Shudder to Think Announce Who Sent You EP

Post-hardcore band Shudder to Think have announced the imminent release of their new EP, titled "Who Sent You?". The three-song project will be available on September 11. A preview of the title track is now available for listeners.

In a press release, vocalist Craig Wedren shared his thoughts behind "Who Sent You?". He explained that the song is an introspective piece reflecting on his teenage years in Cleveland during the 1980s, before he relocated to Washington D.C. with his intense emotions - youthful, lustful, and restless. Wedren described it as a collage of memories, distorted by the passage of time, and a message to his younger self (guide your way home).

Ultimately, it's a nocturnal thank you to everyone who played a role in his life - family, friends, the music, and even the unseen forces, both benevolent and malevolent. He posed the question, "Who, indeed, sent you?".

This EP is Shudder to Think's first material in nearly three decades. Following the release of the 7" single last year, marking their first new music in nearly three decades, the quintet will embark on a series of shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia this September.
