History

On December 14, 2015, The Starting Line announced the release date and cover art for Anyways. Pre-orders were made available on the same day through the band's official website. ^[2] The release date was originally scheduled for February 5, 2016, but was postponed until February 19, 2016, due to vinyl pressing issues. ^[3] The first single, titled "Anyways", was released on December 17, 2015, and the band released an official music video for the track on February 2, 2016. ^[4] The EP is available exclusively on 7-inch vinyl and through digital media outlets.

When profiled by Philly Voice, frontman Kenny Vasoli revealed a little about the direction of the new material. "It's still punk rock," he said, speaking on the band's long-awaited release. "We're always going to sound like The Starting Line. I feel like I've stepped back far enough that I can really identify with what I liked about pop-punk and what I appreciate about it now." ^{[5] [6]}
