WATCH THE VISUALISER - HERE

Four-piece TELLTALE from Richmond, Virginia have released brand new single 'Cardinals',' today via European label Rude Records.

Speaking about the new single the band said: “Cardinals captures the feeling of being helpless to everything and everyone we love and care about back home while on the road. Life doesn’t stop and wait for you to come back, you just miss everything that happens, the good and the bad. We sometimes find ourselves wanting to “fly” home during the mental low points of touring so this song encompasses that feeling of being stuck and unattached from your support back home.It’s also a nod to Virginia as our state bird is the Cardinal."

ABOUT TELLTALE
Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Telltale is a dynamic quartet known for their emotive lyrics, infectious melodies, and an unwavering commitment to sharing the stories that shape their lives.

The band has released a string of EPs over their career— Good Intentions (2017), Timeless Youth (2019), and Lie Your Way Out (2022)— utilizing those songs to master their craft and hone into their sound. Fan favorite “Rose”, from Timeless Youth, has amassed almost 8 million listens on Spotify while Lie Your Way Out’s “Slowburn” sparked conversation about climate change and the abundance of wildfires.

With the release of “Otherside” in December, Telltale teased the next era of their music which takes a step forward into dealing with reality in a yearningly powerful way. It’s an all encompassing single that proves the band has grown in sound and style exponentially and should get listeners excited for what is to come. The music video, directed by Chase Warren, is an immersive dive into the complexities of chasing an unknown side of reality and gives an extra dimension to the song’s meaning. “Otherside” has been added to editorial playlists such as Spotify’s “All New Rock” and has garnered thousands of listens.

Telltale’s live performances have helped cultivate a continuously exciting and personable experience as they have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with other standout bands in the scene such as Holding Absence, Knuckle Puck, and Trash Boat. 2023 has been quite the year for touring as they coheadlined a full U.S. tour with label-mates Sundressed and supported The Home Team on select dates of their spring tour. The band also made a trip abroad with a UK tour and an appearance at 2000 Trees, an independent rock festival.

Through their music, Telltale invites you to join them on a journey through the highs and lows of life, where every song is a page turned in the book of their collective experiences.
