Indie-rockers The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die returned with their latest music since 2021, “Auguries Of Guilt” via Epitaph Records.

Vocalist David Bello says of the track, “The people in stories that get labeled as heroes are often brutal killers, capable of extreme greed and cruelty on behalf of their allies and their desires. This song tries to smudge historical… Read more »

We’re never going to own a house, or be able to afford the kind of lives our parents and grandparents had.
