MuzikDizcovery Exclusives: The Offseason - "Forfeit" and New Album Announcement

Update (8/23, 9:03 PM): "Forfeit" has been taken down. Look forward to a new song streaming on The Offseason's page tomorrow!

Today, we are pleased to exclusively premier a bunch of exciting information about one of our favorites upcoming pop-punk acts, The Offseason. You may know them from Dizcovering Muzik: Volume One or from a feature we've done on them before. If you are a fan of the new wave of pop-punk, including Fireworks and The Swellers, then The Offseason will become a staple in your playlists. Below, you can stream their brand new song "Forfeit", which is off the band's upcoming full length Pride and Progress / Goin' For Broke, out October 11th via Barrett Records. This full length combines their previous EP Goin' For Broke with four all new songs, including "Forfeit". "Forfeit" shows a punkier side to The Offseason, as the band pummels through the track in 1:43, half as long as any other The Offseason track to date. Are the other three new songs going to follow this more aggressive feeling, or will the other songs go back to the band's poppier side? What do you think of "Forfeit"? "Forfeit" will be streaming here until 9 PM tomorrow night, when it will be put on to the band's official page. We will also be premiering a new song here on Wednesday.

The Offseason

2010 has been an exceptional year for new pop-punk bands. The Wonder Years released one of the most beloved albums of the year, Man Overboard and Transit let out two great albums, and many other bands like I Call Fives, Bright and Early, and Such Gold have released exceptional EP's. A lesser known band that deserves to be stated in the same sentence as those bands is The Offseason. Their debut EP, Goin' For Broke, is extremely catchy and puts out those passionate lyrics that good pop-punk is known for. "Livin' The Dream" has a superb hook that challenges You, Me, And Everyone We Know for the best "Livin' The Dream" of the year. The band has released their EP for free, and you can stream the whole release on Bandcamp here.
