THIS TIME NEXT YEAR’S SOPHOMORE FULL-LENGTH ALBUM ’DROP OUT OF LIFE’ NOW AVAILABLE IN STORES AND ONLINE 

This Time Next Year’s sophomore full-length album, Drop Out Of Life, is now available in stores (Hot Topic, FYE and local indie stores) and online (iTunes, Amazon, MerchNOW and more).

On October 6th, This Time Next Year will hit the road in support of Drop Out Of Life, on the Pop Punk’s Not Dead tour with New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, The Wonder Years and Man Overboard.

Drop Out Of Life was produced by New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert [A Day To Remember, H20, Fireworks], engineered by Paul Miner [New Found Glory, A.F.I., Atreyu], and mixed by Paul Leavitt[Circa Survive, All Time Low, Darkest Hour]. 

The impressive album features quick, crunchy guitars, energetic gang vocals and infectious melodies that are sure to be the soundtrack to the fall season. This Time Next Year pulls listeners into a state of pop-punk nostalgia while simultaneously offering a fresh, edgy sound and a sense that this is the beginning of something incredible for the Walnut Creek, CA-based band. 

This Time Next Year’s new album also carries a powerful message, encouraging listeners to follow dreams and to never settle. Vocalist Pete Dowdalls explains, “If you hate something, why keep doing it? We’re not telling people to give up; we’re telling them to drop out. Life can be really tough but it’s up to you to make it better. Be positive, always look forward, and do what you want…I want people to vicariously live through the heartaches and triumphs I’ve experienced over the years. Drop Out Of Life is as much about the people who always supported us as it is about our personal struggles.”

He concludes, “This record is dedicated not only to our family, friends and fans, but to anyone out there who has felt defeated, broken or helpless in life. Stay positive, keep your friends close and do whatever it is you want to do in life. Forget acceptance, forget normality, drop out of life.” A track-by-track description of Drop Out Of Life, detailing the meaning behind each song, written by Dowdalls, is now featured on AltPress.com.

This Time Next Year is comprised of Dowdalls [vocals], Brad Wiseman [guitar], Denis Cohen [guitar], Travis Pacheco [bass], and James Jalili [drums]. All upcoming tour dates for This Time Next Year can be seen below. Pre-sale tickets for the Pop Punk’s Not Dead Tour can be ordered HERE.
