Described by MetalTalk as “a late contender for album of the year, Get Out Of The Rain is spectacular and something that will remain loved for many years to come,” This House We Built bring the album on tour across 2026.
“We wanted to give our loyal fans something extra special with this album,” frontman Scott Wardell said. “We’ve had some incredible support over the last couple of years and feel like the bond we have with our fans is a special one. We ran a crowdfunding campaign for this album, and it has been unbelievable how many people have got behind us. The album is for the fans, the people who have believed in us and everyone who’s become the spirit of This House We’ve Built.”
Get Out Of The Rain have released a video for their new single, Better Man. “This was a song born from me feeling pretty low at one point,” Wardell said. “Sometimes we look out of our windows and only see the grey, but there is a light if you can see through the fog, and pull your big pants up, you can always find a way of getting through anything. We all have that superpower in us, it just sometimes takes some finding.”
The single’s video adds another layer of meaning, filmed over two days last April in the band’s hometown of Scarborough, including an early-morning sunrise shoot showcasing some of the town’s most recognisable landmarks.
“We did a couple of days shooting,” Wardell said, “one of which was filmed about 5 am in the morning at sunrise. It captures some of the famous landmarks in and around Scarbados. The concept behind the video was to show someone who’s basically not in a great place, who’s trying to navigate through hard times, feeling frustrated and angry with life.
“I think January is a bad time for people’s mental well-being, and so it felt appropriate to bring this single out when we did. Hopefully the lyrics give people some comfort and make them realise there is always a light at the end of the tunnel for everyone.”
Musically, Better Man marks a slight shift in approach for the band. “The song is a little different to what I would normally write, and in the studio, Dave Boothroyd gave the song a little more light and shade, which I think worked really well. It gave the song more balls when the chorus kicks in, which will make this one a great sing-along track when we perform it live”.
