(NEW YORK, NY) -- Pop-punk trailblazers The Starting Line return with the release of Eternal Youth, the band's first full-length album in 18 years, available now via their newly launched label, Lineage Recordings. With all original members still intact since their 1999 formation, the record arrives as both a long-awaited comeback and a bold statement of determination, reaffirming the band's position as trailblazers in the genre. 

Blending nostalgia and maturity, Eternal Youth delivers a sound reminiscent of their early years while also introducing a confident new chapter for the 5-piece. Prior to the album release, the band dropped three singles, paving way for the sharpened sound introduced in Eternal Youth.  Their latest single is "I See How It Is".

Previous singles include "Circulate," which utilizes stream-of-consciousness lyricism with pulse-thumping rhythms to describe a surreal scenario of dance floor social politics. Meanwhile the driving melodies and unflinching honesty in "Sense of Humor" offer a bold reintroduction to a band more focused than ever.

The Starting Line have built a composed foundation upon sonic agelessness and brutal honesty, and Eternal Youth stands as another testament to this longstanding band's enduring, timeless energy.

The Starting Line is Ken Vasoli (Vocals/Bass), Matt Watts (Guitar), Mike Golla (Guitar), Tom Gryskiewicz (Drums), and Brian Schmutz (Keys/Vocals).
