Joe Keery has joined hands with his old band, Post Animal, for the new album, Iron. The announcement was made on Instagram on April 17, where the band welcomed Joe by adding,

"Our new album ‘Iron’ is out July 25th and lead single ‘Last Goodbye’ is out today, leading off this new Iron Age. It was a joy to make this record and to have Joe back with us to write and record it. We’ll also be touring this thing later on in the year."
