Selfish Things Release New Single "Liability"

Alternative rock act Selfish Things has released a brand new single titled “Liability”. The track comes from their forthcoming studio album, Receptivity, which is set to be released on October 9th, 2026 via FLG.

Alex Biro commented:

“I’ve said it, and I’ll say it until it’s out, but this was never meant to be an album. “Liability” as a song likely… Most of all. The lyrics were pulled from the tail end of my addiction. When you wake up to the fact that you were your own worst enemy all along. The fallibility of victimhood is multifold. The uglier and meaner the world becomes in the face of your pain, the uglier and meaner you become in return. All retch and no vomit. This song is for anyone who’s woken up to a mirror that doesn’t exist at the end of a hall. When the discomfort of realizing that we’re all our own worst enemies hits home.”

“This wasn’t supposed to be an album. It’s still not really an album to me, or to any of us. More just… closure, I guess. I was at the beginning of my full-blown addiction on the last tour we ever did before COVID stopped the world in 2020. I hated myself and I hated the world more than I really knew at the time. I’m four years sober on the 18th of May, working as a sober coach and clinician with folks who struggle with the same things I do, even in my recovery. The profits will be donated to the hospital where I went to rehab, and (admittedly), we don’t really know where to go (or if we’ll go anywhere with it) afterward”.

 “The only thing that’s brought me peace in the aftermath of the cataclysm of my addiction is being of service to others. I think deep down, releasing this for whoever needs to hear it is an extension of that. Everything beautiful blooms from the mud. Everything beautiful grows from the dirt”, he added. “This is for those who can accept that the things they’ve been through can either be the poison cup they sip from or the counterweight that lifts themselves and others up. That being imperfect is being human. And that suffering is singular, and universal.”
