ACTORS SHARE NEW SINGLE “DEAD INSIDE” AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NOW | TOUR DATES

ARTOFFACT RECORDS

Acclaimed Vancouver post-punk outfit ACTORS have released a hard-hitting and highly emotional new single. “Dead Inside” is out everywhere now via Artoffact Records.

Crunchy, full of distortion, and amplified by sublimely placed bass lines, electric guitars and cymbals, the new track echoes with resonant emotion. Centering around arguably the most human emotions of all, “Dead Inside” is yet another showcase of the band’s innate ability to convert human affliction into a captivating sonic masterpiece.

Reflecting on today’s single, bandleader Jason Corbett shares: “The recent loss of several friends and the realization of how finite our time is really had an effect on me over the past few months. That dark and sometimes anxious emotion permeates my music with ACTORS. The new single just comes right out and says it.”

At the end of March, the band shared another new single, “In Real Life”, which saw major adds including George Strombo’s ‘Strange Brew’, CBC Radio 3, Apple Music’s ‘New In Punk’, and more.

ACTORS began by releasing a string of popular singles, starting with “Post Traumatic Love” in 2012 and building a dedicated fanbase while eschewing a debut album release for the band’s first six years of existence. In 2018, the Jason Corbett-led foursome signed with Toronto-based Artoffact Records and released its long-awaited debut, It Will Come to You, quickly becoming one of the marquee acts on the label and following with their sophomore release Acts of Worship in 2021. In Late 2020, ACTORS announced a new single, “Love U More,” with Juno-Award winning director Peter Ricq contributing his talents to the accompanying video.

Songs like “L’appel du Vide,” “Slaves,” “Face Meets Glass,” and “Bury Me” are bangers that glisten via Corbett’s production job: infectious beats propelled by the warm layers of synth, bass, and drums contributed by the rest of the band. Corbett writes, produces, mixes, and masters all ACTORS music at his own Vancouver studio, Jacknife Sound and names David Bowie as a fundamental influence – Bowie’s sense of confidence and creativity are in full effect on It Will Come to You. Much more than a retro act, this is music that stands all on its own, full of life and complete with unforgettable hooks. Perhaps best described as a “post-post-punk” band, ACTORS belongs in the mix alongside bands like The Soft Moon and Cold Cave.

ACTORS have spent the last several years touring the USA, Canada, and Europe, while hitting many of the best-loved festivals, including Amphifest, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Cold Waves, Substance, Death Disco, Verboden and many more.
