Pop‑punk veterans The Starting Line continue their long‑awaited comeback with Circulate, the second single from their upcoming album Eternal Youth, due September 26 via Lineage Recordings. It’s their first full‑length in 18 years, and the band sounds as sharp and vital as ever.
Written late in the recording process, Circulate packs urgency into just over two minutes. Driven by pulsing rhythms and crisp guitars, the track delivers stream‑of‑consciousness lyrics that reflect on fleeting moments, creative restlessness, and the pulse of a crowded room. It’s concise, melodic, and unmistakably The Starting Line—catchy enough to grab instantly, layered enough to linger.
Following lead single Sense of Humor, which reintroduced fans to a band older but no less energetic, Circulate shows them doubling down on both hooks and heart. It’s a natural progression from their early 2000s sound, updated with a maturity that doesn’t dull the edge.
With Eternal Youth, The Starting Line aren’t looking back—they’re moving forward, proving their place in today’s pop‑punk landscape while reminding us why their name still carries weight.
