Please Remain Calm is out tomorrow
It’s hard to put into words the scale of support we’ve received with Please Remain Calm, and our gratitude for that support. When you make music, especially music that is so personal and revealing, you wonder if anyone else out there is feeling what you’re feeling. You wonder if anyone else stays up at night wondering where you’re supposed to go next. You wonder if this will be like so many other moments in life when you just cannot connect with everyone else. I had a feeling I wasn’t the only one who felt let down and left out, but the response to PRC reassures me that there is something out there that we’re all feeling, and that we haven’t been talking about.
Tomorrow, the album hits stores. Please pre-order the record now from www.runforcoverrecords.com/store or pick it up in stores the day it comes out. If you feel moved by our music, please share the album with someone, post a video, post a song, come to a show. We want to celebrate this moment and this record with friends new and old.
Thank you all so much for your support of this record. This release is a special moment for us, and it’s just the beginning.
Love,
Hostage Calm

Reviews Are In for “Please Remain Calm”
“This is one of the best records of the year without a doubt, and the best part is it’s for so many different reasons. First and foremost: you will not hear a record like Please Remain Calm this year. Plain and simple, it’s one of a kind. Please Remain Calm hits you in the face with some of the most beautiful harmonies It’s the kind of record you just put on in your car, drive, and get lost in it. Please Remain Calm is a record that is a beautiful portrait of what it is to be a young adult in a post-war society. But more specifically, Hostage Calm has created one of the best albums of 2012. And that is a fact.”
10 out of 10 – www.underthegunreview.net
“…generation-defining… the accumulation of everything Hostage Calm can do better than anyone else today. They’ve maintained their trademark, but created a new, retrospective vision of their sound. They’ve embellished the sophistication of their musicianship without pretentiousness. And most importantly, they’ve become a voice for their fans and taken back the purpose of American hardcore that so many bands have forgotten.”
5 out of 5- www.alterthepress.com
“Hostage Calm stand apart with their new record not just for the way it sounds and the progression they’ve taken, but because it’s some of the cleanest and honest storytelling since The Wonder Years’ Suburbia and its homage to The Weakerthans’ Reconstruction Site before that.”- www.absolutepunk.net
“…takes the classic power-pop swagger of acts like Ted Leo and Elvis Costello and similarly touches it up with occasional punk aggression and the more restrained, deliberate craft of ’50s pop nuances. Playful melodies and harmonies abound…the Beach Boys-esque “Patriot” is a bona fide—and almost completely a cappella—hit. The styles and songs on Please Remain Calm do seem to span a half-century of pop, punk and rock songwriting; it’s clearly ambitious and varied…. one hell of an evolutionary stage to bear witness.” 4 out of 5- Alternative Press
