After releasing their 'Kerrang Top 50 Album of 2020' & seething debut album 'Paradise', Scotland's Rock'n'Roll 3-piece Cold Years were about to reap the fruits of their labour touring the world spreading their 'fist in the air' punk rock anthems when the world came to a holt. While for many this kind of obstacle would have stopped them in their tracks but not Cold Years, the time for pissing & moaning is done.

With singer/guitarist Ross Gordon relocating to Glasgow, never making any secret of his frustrations with feeling trapped in the suffocating environs of his native Aberdeen, inspiration for album 2 'Goodbye To Misery' was born.

Written remotely throughout the first 3 months of 2021, Cold Years found a fresh approach to create using daily Zoom sessions to write emailing ideas back and to throughout the second lockdown. With a change of scenery and this fresh approach to writing, 'Goodbye To Misery' is 12 tracks born out of the want for a more positive future rather than the self-destruction & misery of 2020's 'Paradise'. Recorded in May 2021 the band yet again travelled south to The Ranch Studios in Southampton to work with long-time collaborator Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor, Milk Teeth).
