Sting's son, singer/guitarist Joe Sumner, is set to release a new album by his band Fiction Plane. Everything Will Never Be OK will hit stores in either March or April (StingUs: "Everything Will Never Be Okay" will be released on March 11th). The MCA Records release was produced by David Kahane (Sugar Ray, Sublime) and engineered by Joe Barresi.
The album is a collection of Modern Rock tunes, and a lot of the subject matter focuses on the state of the world, including the Iraqi conflict. One such track is "Soldier Machismo," a reaction against knee-jerk militarism and exploration of each side's propaganda.
"There are so many twisted opinions and propaganda out there," said Sumner. "It's hard to know who is right. I see that the world is messed up, and I wish I could do something about it."
Fiction Plane is set for a tour starting February 4 in Chicago. It will be on the road with Something Corporate, Juliana Theory, and Vendetta Red through February 16 in Washington D.C.
