A double album that draws from across Silverstein’s diverse influences, “Antibloom” is released today, February 21, 2025 via UNFD, with “Pink Moon” to follow later in the year. “In 2025 we will be celebrating 25 years as band. For a milestone this large, we felt it deserved the largest campaign of our career,” the band shares. “We felt incredibly inspired and put everything we’ve learned / felt / experienced into this double album. They say it takes an artist their whole life to write their debut album, but with starting this band so young, it felt like it took 25 years to write ‘Antibloom’ / ‘Pink Moon’ — the absolute collection of our musical style and ideas we’ve pioneered over these years.” Sam Guaiana (NECK DEEP, HOLDING ABSENCE, BAYSIDE) produced [Read More]

It’s an intense, internal struggle. And no matter how hard you try not to, you keep running right back to them.” Check out the new song and video here: Tracklist: 01 – You Look Like Love 02 – Right Back 03 – Serotonin 04 [Read More]

Movements share new song Where I Lay, watch the visualizer!

February 20, 2025

Movements release their new single, Where I Lay. The song is closely connected with their previous release Afraid to Die. Vocalist Patrick Miranda comments, “‘Where I Lay’ is one of those songs that was tough for me to write“,Lyrically, it’s really emotionally vulnerable and it had me revisiting places with my writing that I hadn’t explored in a while. It’s for anyone else out there who feels like they’ve never quite fit right in the world. This one is for the outcasts“. “The idea is that ‘Afraid To Die’ and ‘Where I Lay’ are living in the same world thematically — and, in some ways, are extensions of one another. In ‘Afraid To Die,’ I’m being chased by masked figures. In ‘Where I Lay,’ the masked figure is going to be me. Since ‘Where I Lay’ is about feeling like you don’t belong; it’s almost this idea that the reason I was being chased in ‘Afraid To Die’ is because I never really was supposed to be part of the group of masked figures to begin with. It’s like you’re wearing [Read More]

Mecha Mecha grabs your attention with their dark broody new single, Mourning in the Evening

February 20, 2025

Brisbane based dark indie band Mecha Mecha have just released a personal brooding new track that will capture your attention. The song Mourning in the Evening will definitely resonate as it shares the worst part of a breakup. What they have to say about the new track, Probably our most personal song, there isn’t really a nice way to put it. It’s epic, but extremely vulnerable, and honestly pretty scary to put out there. The fear of releasing the song has probably inhibited the release process a bit. Getting the balance right of not airing dirty laundry, but keeping the song’s integrity has been tricky. It’s about losing the one, not the one that got away, but THE one, but from the perspective of the person leaving. Esoterically, it’s just a comment on how life often seems to hit us with everything in one go, and we push on, the silver lining of rain clouds acting as a lighthouse that guides you through whatever storm it is you’re traversing. But lyrically, it’s just a [Read More]

While many bands might cover the classics, we decided to take on the challenge of playing an acoustic version of what we believe to be one of their greatest songs. This cover also helps to showcase our own musical abilities and diversity that is part of our sound” [Read More]
