Appropriately enough for a band named NEW YEARS DAY, their stunning new “Unbreakable” album signifies a new outlook—as well as a high-water mark for the Cali-bred lineup. Yet it was a rocky road to “Unbreakable”, as singer Ash Costello explains: “If I had to look at my life
On “Unbreakable”, that mission is accomplished. It’s a dozen intense, boundary-melding songs that may touch on metal or goth, but are ultimately undeniable modern rock ‘n’ roll tunes, no-holds-barred, done the NEW YEARS DAY way. The public got its first taste of “Unbreakable” in November 2018, with the booming, ultra-dynamic “Skeletons.” The song surpassed 1 million worldwide streams, the first proof that “Unbreakable” was going to be unbeatable. It’s an album that captures a young band in its creative prime, and a singer solidly in charge of her vision.
The album was produced by Mitch Marlow (All That Remains, In This Moment) and Scott Stevens (Halestorm, Shinedown) and showcases a NEW YEARS DAY stripped bare—literally. The “boys in the band” left behind their white face makeup, which all admit was somewhat of a “safety blanket.” Likewise, Costello stripped down her songwriting. “I used to think lyrics needed to have metaphorical veils and be super-dense and paint a picture but leave it up to the interpretation.” But for “Unbreakable”, she says with characteristic forthrightness: “I was, ‘fuck that, I’m literally going to say exactly what I want to say.”
