Kicking off the summer of WSTR with a bang, fans will get to hear the track first hand at Download Festival on Sat, June 9, 2018 at 12:50pm BST (Avalanche Stage).

Continuing the celebration of the upcoming, Identity Crisis, the band have announced their Record Release Show in their hometown of Liverpool, UK on August 31, 2018 at the historic O2 Academy 2.

Identity Crisis will be available on August 31, 2018 via Hopeless Records. D2C pre-orders are available at smarturl.it/wstrmerch.

Speaking to the new record, Identity Crisis, vocalist Sammy Clifford expressed the band’s desire to push the band’s songwriting, take chances, and bring some swagger into the album.

“We’ve added all these different genres into our sound while keeping the WSTR roots. This record is about putting the simple things together well and trying to make them great.”

Working once again with long-time friend and producer, Seb Barlow (Neck Deep, As It Is), WSTR channeled the energy of the classics they grew up on and blasted forward with guitar solos, ad libs, and sing-a-long choruses that defiantly punches through the crowd. After extensive touring in the UK/Europe and Australia with bands like Neck Deep and Creeper, marquee festival runs on Slam Dunk Festival and Download Festival, and an upcoming North America tour, WSTR is geared up for the year ahead.
