Armored Saint “Hit A Moonshot”
“(The song) ‘Hit A Moonshot’ is inspired by the people who keep landing on their feet,” explains Armored Saint vocalist John Bush. “This applies to anyone. And landing on your feet is commendable. Sometimes people can do that all the way to their grave. Then there are other people who are so good or talented or creative, and they struggle forever. I don’t think life is balanced all the time, and I don’t think it’s fair.”
Armored Saint guitarist Jeff Duncan adds: “I think the song defines what Armored Saint sounds like now.”

The track is taken from the band’s upcoming full-length album, “Emotion Factory Reset,” due on May 22nd.
“To me, ‘Emotion Factory Reset’ means to reset yourself back to clarity,” elaborates guitarist Phil Sandoval. “Take a pause and breathe before you respond or react. You can’t control outside events, but you can control your mind. How you interpret things is what hurts you, not the event itself.”
“Each Armored Saint record, to me, is like a new skin for the band, a different chapter. I don’t think we’ve ever repeated ourselves,” says bassist Joey Vera. “Every album has been pretty different from the previous one. ‘Emotion Factory Reset’ is where our heads are at.”
