NEEDTOBREATHE to Release THE LONG SURRENDER AND THE FELLOW PASSENGERS OF PAIN DELUXE ALBUM

GRAMMY-nominated rock band NEEDTOBREATHE has announced The Long Surrender and The Fellow Passengers of Pain, the deluxe edition of their acclaimed album The Long Surrender. Expanding on the deeply personal themes of surrender, transformation, and renewal at the heart of the original record, the forthcoming deluxe album opens the door to a new chapter with six new songs and collaborations that further explore the journey that inspired the project. The Long Surrender and The Fellow Passengers of Pain arrives on November 19, 2026 via MCA. Pre-order is available here.

Arriving alongside the announcement is the first track from the deluxe album, 'Can't Apologize' featuring Jonah Kagen, a collaboration that finds NEEDTOBREATHE joining forces with the singer-songwriter. 'Can't Apologize' featuring Jonah Kagen can be heard here.

'We're in a time of overflow in the band and there are some new songs that we are really proud of that we wanted to put out during this season of The Long Surrender. 'Can't Apologize' is one of those songs, and we're really excited to have our friend Jonah Kagen feature on it. It's just the band in a room playing together, trying to be present and inspired. We hope you take a listen,' says NEEDTOBREATHE's Josh Lovelace.

'As a longtime fan of NTB and the world they've built around their music, this was such an amazing experience for me. I'm honored to be a part of this song and can't wait for everyone to hear it,' says Jonah Kagen.

The Long Surrender and The Fellow Passengers of Pain builds upon the band's recent album The Long Surrender, produced by nine-time GRAMMY Award-winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson). The album captures the sound of a band awakened to its truest purpose and power more than two decades into a triumphant career, exploring what happens when letting go creates room for something new.

The expanded edition continues that story, bringing new voices and perspectives into the world of The Long Surrender while digging even deeper into the beauty, discomfort, and ultimately transformative nature of surrender. The Long Surrender and the Fellow Passengers of Pain includes six new songs with features from Jonah Kagen, Evan Honer, Ann Wilson, Bre Kennedy and more.
