It’s been over 25 years since they did this, and seeing Six Going On Seven holding a brand new record again finally makes it real. "Human Tears" is available now, and there are very limited quantities of the Iridescent Green variant left. Thank you for being here, and grab one while you can. spr.tn/6GO7

2025 was a big year for Spartan.

Ten releases. These are records we fought for, stressed over, and put our whole hearts into. Each one took a ton out of us in the best way. We’re proud of what we accomplished in 2025, and thankful to every artist who trusted us and all of you who listened and supported along the way.

Here’s our 2025 year in review.

Six Going On Seven’s first new album in over twenty years, “Human Tears, is out now!

Emerging from Boston’s 90s post-hardcore and emo underground, the band returns with a record that fully immerses itself in the atmosphere of 1980s art rock, new wave, synth-pop, and prog-pop, filtered through the emotional honesty of their 90s roots.

Stream the album everywhere now and pick up the limited edition vinyl and exclusive t-shirt bundles while supplies last. orcd.co/humantears
