Crunch-rock quintet WATERS released their EP, It Might All Be Okay, last fall after nearly two years of silence. We shared the singles “Got To My Head” and “I Feel Everything,” with the video for the latter making the cut for The 5 Best Videos Of The Week last November. Today, WATERS announce their first full-length project on Vagrant Records, titled What’s Real, and they also give us the single “Stupid Games.” The track opens with a synth sequence and simple drum pattern beneath low, murmured vocals from frontman Van Pierszalowski before huge, distorted power chords drive an infectious hook where Pierszalowski opens up his vocal range. Listen below.

What’s Real is out 4/7 on Vagrant.
