Kansas-based pop punk/easycore band Stay The Course have released a new single called 'Pastel.'

“I always knew my back was against the wall but I played the game anyway” is just one of many powerful lyrics Joseph Meador and crew offer up in this cathartic, and highly intensely meaningful song. Accompanying the lyrics is music that gives you the permission to sing the choruses back to the band at the top of your lungs and just let the emotion wash over you like a cleansing baptism of self. Let your guard down, push away your doubts, and allow yourself to experience the power that is “Pastel.”

“This was the first song we fully tracked. At the start, I was nervous about the new material and honestly struggled to get motivated. One morning I just pushed myself to record vocals, and when I sat back and listened, all my doubts disappeared. That’s when I knew this record was going to be fun and that I could really try new things vocally.” – Joseph Meador (vocals)

The song is taken off the band's upcoming album 'Red Flag,' which will be out later this year on Punkerton Records.
