In a January 15 social media post, she said, “Probably gonna be leaving SYSC due to a lack of urgency on issues I have been bringing up for a while now.

On Instagram, As It Is shared, “We are beyond excited to have our bestie @loocaswoodland of @holdingabsence lend his incredible voice to the 10-year re-record of Dial Tones!… Read more »

As It Is just dropped a new teaser video on Instagram and TikTok sharing that they’re releasing a new version of “Dial Tones.” This time, the Never Happy, Ever After track contains a mystery featured guest artist. The teaser video sees the song in its more mature form with refined pop-punk sonics—after all, it’s been an entire decade. (Insert crying emoji here.) Our best guess is that As It Is tapped Stand Atlantic to help refresh “Dial Tones” in 2025. In September 2024, Patty Walters joined Stand Atlantic onstage for a performance of “NOSE BLEED.” So, clearly, they were hanging… Read more »
