On December 18, 2024, Rationale. teased new music with a simple yet exciting Instagram post: “Hoping to have new music for you in 2025.” This brief message sent fans into a frenzy, but it also raises an important question: How long have fans been waiting for new music from the band?
It’s been a while since Rationale. released a full-length project. Their last album, If the Problems Persist, came out in 2021, and since then, there has been little in the way of new material from the band. While Joe Taylor has kept busy with his main band, Knuckle Puck, Rationale. has remained relatively quiet. Fans have been eagerly anticipating what’s next for the band, and this December tease gave them a glimmer of hope for 2025.
Now that we’re working our way through 2025, the excitement is building as fans await official news of Rationale.’s next release. However, details are still scarce—will it be a full album, an EP, or just a string of singles? This uncertainty only adds to the buzz, leaving fans on the edge of their seats, wondering how much longer they’ll have to wait.
As the lead vocalist of Knuckle Puck, Joe Taylor has continued to tour and collaborate with various artists. But despite his commitments to Knuckle Puck, Rationale. remains a key focus for him. The band’s past releases, such as Confines and You Are Flawed, But You’ll Be Fine, showcased their emotionally charged sound and introspective lyrics, earning them a dedicated fanbase.
With so much time since their last full release, the anticipation for new music is palpable. Fans are eager to see if Rationale.’s new material will live up to the high expectations built over the years, and whether it will reflect the band’s growth since their last project.
Although there’s no official word on a release date, the December tease has kept the excitement alive. As we make our way through 2025, it seems likely that Rationale. is gearing up to make a big impact with fresh new music.
Stay tuned—2025 might just be the year Rationale. fans have been waiting for.
