7 years. That's how long it's been since the members of Asbury Park's ATHLETICS have shared the stage. But some connections never fade, they simply can't be denied. As life moves us in different directions and take us down varied paths, we often find ourselves coming back to the connections we formed that helped shape us into who we are. It's this shared bond between Jimmy, John, Howie, Zach and Garrett that has Athletics reuniting, rehearsing, recording and reshaping their futures, going all-in for 2024 as if they never left the stage together.

While there is a lot to come from Athletics in 2024, today Deep Elm Records is please to announce the re-release of Athletics' single "When To Run" on all digital platforms across the globe for the first time.

"Deep Elm helped Athletics reach listeners and establish lifelong connections with fans all over the planet. Our initial self-release of 'When to Run' back in 2016 was us keeping the band moving forward as best as our personal lives would allow at the time. We are proud of what we accomplished then, and proud for it to have its proper home with the rest of our catalog on Deep Elm Records in 2024 and beyond," says drummer John Cannon.
