About Good Terms:
Good Terms are back with a new album Burnout, it is the sound of a band dismantling any preconception of who they are and what they sound like, putting every musical option back on the table and diving headfirst into every unorthodox influence. Good Terms formulated 12 songs that are completely unique from each other and then sowed every piece back together into one cohesive work with multiple intertwining lyrical themes of identity, alienation, and perspective. Burnout is anxious, hopeful, confused, angsty, longing, joyous, loving, regretful, pissed, wistful, sincere, and cathartic. It juxtaposes moments that feel like the sonic recreation of the dread meme with others that feel like the triumphant ending scene of The Land Before Time. This album will have you simultaneously clearing your sinuses from extreme levels of stank face, dusting off your old air guitar, wanting to do spin kicks in your living room, reconnecting with your younger self, and wishing that you took an extra bite of your crazy aunt’s special brownie. It’s mosh ready, 420 friendly, and hell yeah brother approved.
Burnout is supported with nearly half their album spinning on stations as SiriusXM Faction Punk andidobi Radio on rotation and North American tours including a recent sold out direct support tour with Hawthorne Heights and west coast tour with Driveways earlier this month. The album began to take shape when the song “Cough” took a viral whirlwind leap in July 2024 and has soared as the band’s go-to jam. You can find Burnout in vinyl shops as Banquet Records, Rough Trade (EU/UK), Amoeba Records, Fingerprints Records, and many more.
“Burnout is the most stupidly ambitious thing that I’ve ever tried to create. We didn’t know exactly what kind of band we wanted to be going into this, we just knew we wanted to be ‘us,’ and the pursuit of that was not easy. We tried to eliminate any notion of “we can’t do that” and just ask ourselves “why not?” at every creative impasse. The album is called Burnout mostly because of the intersection of all the lyrical themes, but it’s also because after producing this album and pouring over every single note and transient, this album has genuinely taken everything out of me. We made 12 songs that we didn’t know how to make going in, and we did it all completely by ourselves. Every single song was written, performed, produced, and mixed by members of Good Terms. The back and forth nearly broke us many times, but I think the end result is something undeniably singular. I am so damn proud of what my friends and I created together here.“ – producer and guitarist of Good Terms – Zach Boucher
