In the past, Circa Survive have released albums on major and indie labels, but for their fourth LP, Violent Waves, the band decided to do things differently. On August 28th, fans will be able to buy the self-released and self-produced Violent Waves directly from the band's website for $5. "By choosing to download our music directly from us, you are choosing to give our band a future and directly supporting us and our families," vocalist Anthony Green wrote in a letter to fans.

Circa Survive will hit the road in support of the album in September (find their tour dates here). Hear Violent Waves in its entirety with this exclusive stream.

"This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
