CASUALLY COMMITTED Return With Infectious New Single “Back To Where We Were” Out Now! – @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CASUALLY COMMITTED Return With Infectious New Single “Back To Where We Were” Out Now!
Released February 27, 2026 via DI Records
Rocky Mountain emo is alive and kicking.
Casually Committed are back with their third studio release, “Back To Where We Were,” dropping February 27, 2026. Blending rock, pop punk, and alternative into a high energy, emotionally charged package, the band continues carving out a space that feels both immediate and lasting.
For fans of State Champs , Neck Deep , and The Story So Far , this new single delivers soaring hooks, driving guitars, and the kind of chorus built for packed rooms shouting every word back at the stage.
“Back To Where We Were” captures that restless push for something bigger, something different, only to realize the thing you were chasing was right in front of you the whole time. It is reflective without losing momentum, melodic without losing bite.
Recorded in September 2025, the single was engineered and mixed by Van VerHoeven and mastered by Miro, giving it a polished but punchy finish. Tight instrumentation locks in with purpose while the guitars create both urgency and atmosphere, pushing the track toward a massive, full voiced payoff.
At the center is Sydney Monday, whose vocal performance moves from intimate vulnerability to commanding release. Underneath, Toby Sanders and Ben Sawyer lay down a rock solid rhythmic backbone while Alex Lutes builds dynamic tension that gives every peak real impact.
Live, Casually Committed do not just play songs. They create moments. Their performances transform crowds into participants, turning shared emotion into full on connection.
“Back To Where We Were” stands as the band’s most refined and infectious release to date and further defines their place in today’s modern emo and alternative rock scene.
This is a standalone single.

NØ MAN – “Moan”
Look out! You’re directly in the path of a harsh and swaggering new one from NØ MAN. “Moan,” the DC screamo/post-hardcore band’s first new song since 2024’s Glitter And Spit LP, finds them on the warpath, breathing threats, sauntering forward with hostility and conviction. One of the Bandcamp genre tags reads “Palestine,” and “Moan” indeed…
