Atlanta rockers BITERS have released a new song, ‘Stone Cold Love’ from their upcoming studio album, ‘The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be’.
‘The Future…’ is set to hit stores on 19th May via Earache Records. The album, produced by Dan Dixon, is the follow-up to 2015’s critically acclaimed ‘Electric Blood’ and lands in the wake of a UK/European tour this Spring (dates below).

BITERS frontman Tuk tells us about how ‘Stone Cold Love’ came to be; “I sat down with my buddy Scott (Stevens) to write a tune. We sat for hours trying to come up with something that felt perfect, but were hitting a dead end. We said ‘fuck it’ and went to his local hang out, ate some cornbread, drank a few beers and talked about music. We spoke about T Rex, Queen and Slade, shit like that, how cool those big drum grooves were. Right then a light bulb went off and we headed back to studio with a fresh start and within hours finished writing the song, demoed it and tracked lead vocals! I was so fucking delirious I couldn’t tell if it was good or not. A few weeks later, Scott sent me the finished demo while I was on tour in Kansas. I remember cranking it in the van outside of this fake old wild west town and thinking ,”Goddamn, this is so good!”
