The Revivalists are proud to announce their long-awaited new album, Get It Honest, arriving via Concord Records on Friday, July 24. Vinyl pre-orders/pre-saves are available now. The RIAA Multi-Platinum-certified, New Orleans, LA-based band’s sixth studio album and first all-new full-length release in over three years, Get It Honest, is heralded by today’s premiere of the colossal opening track, “Heart Stop,” available everywhere now. Centered by tangled guitars, powerful drums, and belt-your-heart-out vocals, the track sees The Revivalists celebrating perseverance in the face of things you love so much they threaten to tear you apart, with frontman David Shaw squaring up to whatever is to come by howling en route to the climax, “I’m not afraid of the future comin’ my way/I’m over wasting my time.” “Heart Stop”, co-written by Shaw with Andriu “Yàno” Yanovski and PJ Howard, is joined today by an official music video streaming now on YouTube. Directed by filmmaker Caroline Iaffaldano and fully shot on a first-person-view helmet cam, the instantly striking visual takes the viewer inside an iconic New Orleans shotgun house alongside the talented dancer Malerie Dempster.
"This song might hit a little different for everyone, and I love that,” says Shaw. “But for me, I'd say sometimes you are caught between two loves. One that's tearing you apart and one that you know is right. This song is the sleepless nights, the wreckage, and the moment you finally surrender to what you know is there for you."

PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE GET IT HONEST
Produced once again by GRAMMY® Award-winner Rich Costey (Vampire Weekend, Foo Fighters, Death Cab for Cutie) at Vermont’s bucolic Guilford Sound – the same studio where The Revivalists and Costey previously collaborated on 2023’s life-affirming fifth album, Pour It Out Into the Night – Get It Honest sees a veteran band enabled by hard-fought experience and boundless solidarity to strike a new path forward. Having embraced multiple musical personalities on previous records, the 12-track collection evinces a blessed cohesion, as if The Revivalists have finally found how they truly want to sound, at least for right now.
With seven of its eight members now fathers, Get It Honest is unquestionably a grown-folks record, built on songs about cutting yourself clear of a history that only drags you down and embracing the parts of your present that make you grateful to be here at all, like love and grace and salvation. Songs like “Razorblades and Runways,” “Lost and Found,” and the emotional centerpiece title track mirror these realizations, with this almighty band harnessing a welcome restraint that highlights their collective journey towards the future. With Get It Honest, The Revivalists take the time and energy to remind us all to look up and look ahead, to keep going, and never let our past define our destiny.
“To me, this album is about understanding this point and learning to work with it like a potter works the clay,” reflects Shaw. “Our flaws and imperfections are what ultimately make us human and beautiful."
