13 Hours

Jason Riccistrips everything down to the nerve on13 Hours, a record that feels less like a statement and more like an unfiltered confession. This album lives in the restless space between exhaustion and defiance - where frustration with the world, the music business, relationships, and oneself collide head-on. Ricci doesn't search for polish or comfort here; instead, he documents the mental churn of staying present when optimism feels thin and survival itself becomes an act of resistance .At its core,13 Hoursis about endurance whether that be emotional, physical, and spiritual. Songs swing between fury and fatigue, dark humor and brutal honesty, capturing the weight of modern life through sharp social commentary and deeply personal reflection. Whether confronting burnout, addiction, grief, or the absurdity of the systems surrounding us, the album refuses easy answers, choosing truth over resolution and tension over release.Despite its rawness,13 Hoursis not hopeless. There are moments of grace, intimacy, and clarity woven throughout, made richer by the interplay betweenJason Ricci,The Bad Kind, and featured vocalistKaitlin Dibble. The album ultimately asks how long you can keep going--and what it means to keep going anyway. It's a record about staying awake, staying alive, and telling the truth while the clock keeps ticking.This Album is dedicated to the memory ofJohn Perkins.
