Korean alt-rock visionary LØREN has officially signed to iconic record label 88rising. Along with a new record deal, LØREN announced he will be releasing his debut EP, 'Put Up a Fight,' on March 24 with 88rising and THEBLACKLABEL.

'Put Up a Fight' is a pop-punk-meets-indie-rock inspired project complemented by LØREN’s grungy Korean and English vocals. The EP shows LØREN more vulnerable than ever, flexing his songwriting muscles to tackle subjects including mental illness and isolation. 

LØREN explains, "I've been looking forward to 'Put Up a Fight's release for a while now, and I'm thrilled to join forces with 88rising through the process. I'm a huge fan of their work, and I'm very happy to take part in their vision. It feels surreal to have SXSW, album release, and HITC New York ahead of me. To say I'm excited would be an understatement—I absolutely cannot wait for what's to come."

Meanwhile, LØREN will be performing live in the United States for the first time at SXSW and Head in the Clouds. On March 15, he will join Balming Tiger at the Tiger Den showcase, SXSW’s first all-Asian music festival. On May 21, LØREN will head to New York to take part in 88rising’s Head in the Clouds, the label’s annual music festival.

I don't get it, is he with a new label or with 2 labels? Is this the only way to get let out of the dungeon now?
