UnityTX is stepping into a thrilling new era with the announcement of their forthcoming sophomore album, Somewhere, In Between…. The new record is set to be released on March 13 via Pure Noise Records. Additionally, the Dallas alternative act also dropped a brand new single and music video for “ENJOY THA SHOW.”
Frontman Jay Webster, aka SHAOLIN G, shares, “‘Enjoy Tha Show’ was crafted to provoke thought on the narratives we embrace as humans, sharing our experiences to foster connection. After much reflection, I aimed to create something that resonated with my audience and mirrored my struggles. Seeking comfort among those who don’t understand the pain of feeling ethnically out of place can be daunting.”

He adds, “At times, the words of strangers would sting so deeply that I’d share them with others. It felt like a natural reaction, yet my friends urged me to rise above it. Ignoring it was harder than I thought, as I was expected to just perform and push through the noise. So, I shifted my approach to simply enjoying the experience.
The artist concludes, “Unknowingly, I built my life around catering to critics, only to realize that the audience often reacts negatively when you stray from their expectations. This goes beyond music; our society often limits opportunities for those daring to be themselves. It’s frustrating, and I accept that it’s a tragic reality. My identity is shaped by my experiences and environment, and that cannot be changed. Where do we draw the line between empathy and judgment?”
