Emo / pop-punk band Good Terms has released their new single “Progress”, out now via Secret Friends Music Group. “Progress” explores the emotional challenge of perseverance when on the brink of burnout; the song was inspired in part by vocalist Brian McShea and fiancée Stephanie Raynor, who lost their home earlier this year in the California wildfires. Their story captured national attention and the outpouring of love and support reminded the couple and their extended Good Terms family of the importance of community.

In conjunction with the new release, Good Terms have teamed up with music education platform Musora to host an upcoming Walk-A-Thon Hiking Event. The event will raise funds for Notes For Notes, a nonprofit providing free access to musical instruments, instruction, and studio environments for youth. It was inspired in part by the band’s recent stop at Musora, where they filmed an “On The Spot” feature following along as they crafted their own cover of Blondie’s “Call Me”.

The Walk-A-Thon is set to take place this Saturday, May 24th, and all fans, friends, and industry professionals are welcome to join the fundraising efforts in-person at Elysian Park in Los Angeles (1025 Elysian Park Dr) or virtually around the globe. Musora will be pledging a matching donation in the form of platform subscriptions, to be distributed through Notes For Notes’ system of studios nationwide. RSVP now, here.

The goal of both the event and the new single are to remind everyone of the impact we can make when we're all on the same team, and of the power of pausing to celebrate the small victories along the way. Through “Progress” and events like the upcoming Walk-A-Thon, the group is choosing to focus on gratitude and giving back.  

Following the Walk-A-Thon Good Terms will be on tour supporting Youth Fountain, kicking off on May 28th. They’ll be back on the road with Emery this summer, continuing their trek around the country.
