Post-hardcore band Too Close to Touch are just a few days away from dropping their third and final album, For Keeps, which features posthumous vocals from the group's late frontman Keaton Pierce, who died tragically in 2022.
To further honor Pierce, the surviving band members recruited a handful of his musical peers to guest on the album, and Bad Omens frontman Noah Sebastian makes an appearance on the track "Novocaine," which he also produced.
"The song serves as a timeless tribute to the friendship and artistic bond shared by Keaton and Noah," Too Close to Touch commented in a joint statement. Bad Omens notably covered TCTT's "Sympathy" some 30 times onstage following Pierce's death. "It could have never been completed nor would it have ever been released if not for Noah and all of you, the fans, with your immense effort in keeping Keaton's memory alive and thriving.
"We can't thank you enough, but we hope that each and every one of you lose your voices as you scream their words along with them."

For Keeps is out this Friday March 8th, and other guests on the record include Cane Hill's Elijah Witt and the Word Alive's Telle Smith.
