Last month, at an intimate show at House of Vans in London, A Day To Remember announced their highly-anticipated new album, You’re Welcome.
However, until today we didn’t know when the new album was going to be released. Now, we know that day to be November 15th.
A Day To Remember will be a major feature in the upcoming issue of KERRANG! magazine and in that interview ADTR vocalist Jeremy McKinnon explains how the album came to be titled You’re Welcome:
“I needed a hoodie for a show. It was our first show back from this massive time that we took off. Me and my wife had our first kid, the band was cool, and we pretty much took the whole year off to just be home, so I could be a part of that first year and help out. In the downtime, whenever I could, I’d be writing. So that’s really why we’ve been gone for so long. But for the first show back, I put on this outfit and was like, ‘Oooh, I need a white hoodie with this.’ So I went to the store and bought a white hoodie, and it said in red, ‘You’re Welcome’, and the colour matched my shoes that I was wearing, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is perfect!’
“There was a photo that was taken of me at this festival that we’d played in Mexico where I’m singing, and I pull my hoodie and it says, ‘You’re Welcome’. I got tagged in the photo the next day, and the first comment said, ‘Calling it now: the new A Day To Remember album is called You’re Welcome!’ And because I read it online, completely unguarded, it kind of hit me like I was told the A Day To Remember record name for the first time. I sat there, and it kind of had me stunned . I was like, ‘I think I fucking love that.’ So it was named by a fan.”
