10 YEARS and Mascot Records have announced an October 11 street date for the band’s digital EP titled “Inner Darkness”. The lead single “The Optimist” hits global radio airwaves next week, following the release of a new official music video which can be viewed below.
In addition to featuring three previously unreleased songs and three well-received singles, the “Inner Darkness” EP includes a version of the hit “The Optimist” with guest vocals by CONQUER DIVIDE’s Kia Taylor, who skillfully trades off lines with 10 YEARS singer Jesse Hasek. The chemistry between the two singers and the bands more broadly was there from the start. When they first met on Zoom, guitarist and producer Brian Vodinh recalls: “We talked about touring and recording and basically nerded out and hit it off really well. Then we mentioned the idea of a collaboration, which is where everything started.” Hasek adds: “We thought it would be fun to give it a new twist since it has been out there for a while. Kia’s name came up and I’ve always enjoyed female vocalists and I thought it would be especially cool to inject her voice into our style of music. She had the right vibe and a great attitude and she really went for it. It was a fun, painless process and it came out even better than I expected it to.”
