Abrevity took four years between albums, but drummer Dylan LaFong recently told Charleston City Paper that his post-grunge band wasn’t just sitting around.

“We decided as a band to take a break from shows to focus on everything else happening behind the scenes. Not just for us, but also the people that listen to our music and come out to our shows,” he added.

The new Era EP is the fruit of that time away and packs solid radio-ready rock into 19 tight minutes of songs that run the gamut of emo and pop-punk.

Tickets to see Abrevity play Orpheum in Tampa on Sunday, Aug. 17 are still available for $20.97.
