“Changing Tides”, an 8-song EP, will feature 4 new songs from Second to Last and four new songs from Starters. The release will be available on CD, and on limited edition lathe-cut records and cassette tapes. “Tides” is part of a co-release between Quote Your Pulse Records (California) and Guys With Beards Records (Ireland).

“Changing Tides” is Second To Last’s sophomore effort on Quote Your Pulse, following 2012 release “Vessel”.

“Changing Tides” is the first American effort from Starters, who previously released their EP “Reasons To Stay” on City of Gold Records (UK). Starters will be supporting “Changing Tides” by heading out on a European Tour this April, with South Wales band Forrest. Starters is in the process of finishing their debut full-length, and will be releasing it this summer.
