SHURMAN today (10/20) have partnered with ALLACCESS.COM to premiere the title track of EAST SIDE OF LOVE, the revered Austin band’s first album in three years. Due Friday, November 6 via Teletone Records in the U.S. and on Germany’s Blue Rose Records in Europe, the group’s sixth album retains their trademark combination of high-energy roots rock and country soul, while possessing an expanded dimension due to the mixture of harrowing pain and unmatched creative joy they experienced since we last heard from them.

You can take a listen to “East Side Of Love” here and read an interview with frontman Aaron Beavers here and you can click here to watch a trailer about the album.

SHURMANAaron Beavers (guitar, vocals) Mike Therieau (bass, vocals), Harley Husbands (lead guitar) and Clint Short (drums)-created EAST SIDE OF LOVE as a result of loyal fan-funded support coming from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean; the band’s European fan base remains large and enthusiastic. Produced by Beavers at Austin’s storied Cedar Creek Studios, it’s a powerful work with 11 heartfelt songs telling the story of losing a relationship, while actually getting back a band.

“The title track of the record pretty much sums up my last relationship,” says band founder Aaron Beavers. “It stems from the idea that life is fleeting and if you try to define it or hold it, you will soon realize you never really had it. And when it’s over, it hurts worse than a knife in the gut.”

From the anthemic set-opening title track, to the gritty soul of “You Don’t Have To Love Me,” through the heart-wrenching, acoustic ballad “I Don’t Know Why,” to the bright and hopeful album closer “Time To Say Goodbye,” it bears traces of SHURMAN‘s reputation for relentless live energy and yet comes across as clear-eyed and genuine as anything in the band’s 15-year career. SHURMAN‘s previous label releases on Vanguard and Universal Republic were admittedly geared towards Friday and Saturday night, but EAST SIDE OF LOVE sounds like a record made for Sunday afternoon. It takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of life while reminding you that you can still find redemption no matter where you have traveled.

Friday, 11/6               The Continental Club         Austin, TX (more info here)
Friday, 11/13             Last Exit Live                       Phoenix, AZ (more info here)
