Song: Joey Cape - It Could Be Real
Joey Cape, frontman of punk band Lagwagon, recently released a new song titled “It Could Be Real” and announced that his brand new solo album, A Good Year To Forget, will be released on August 13th via Fat Wreck Chords!
The album is a reflection of 2020; a year that saw him lose his father, separate from his wife of 20 years, contract COVID, and move back in with his parents as a result of a livelihood lost. A Good Year To Forget is a record that sums up all the trials and tribulations over those challenging 12 months.
“By any standard, 2020 was a bad year,” says Joey. “This record has truly distilled my own experience of the past year, what I've learned, and what I've felt. It feels right and I'm very proud of the result.”
Joey Cape also announced a fall tour and fans can expect him to perform songs from A Good Year To Forget, additional cuts from his solo catalog, and Lagwagon classics. A full listing of dates can be found below.
