“It’s Hard To Lie To Strangers” marks the debut single from LOWREV, the solo venture of singer-songwriter Josh Fiedler, best known as a founding member of the Western Pennsylvania post-emo band The Juliana Theory, a role he’s held for nearly three decades. Boasting vocal melodies that wouldn’t be out of place on some ‘70s AOR staple on classic-rock radio playlists, “It’s Hard To Lie To Strangers” showcases a brand new and liberating chapter for Fiedler that finds him surveying a land he's never been in, and smelling the roses planted on it. 

“I wrote this on tour after a moment where I didn’t show up the way someone expected me to, and it stuck with me,” Fiedler recalls. “I’m pretty introverted, and connecting with people I don’t know can be more draining than it looks from the outside. This song is me trying to make sense of that. It’s also about being misunderstood when you’re too drained to be the person people expect you to be.”

Stay tuned for more information on LOWREV’s debut album on Equal Vision Records to be announced in the coming weeks.
