Limbs return with new single & video “Spirit Breaker”

February 23, 2022

US post-hardcore rising stars Limbs have released their crushing new single + video ‘Spirit Breaker’ today. Undoubtedly one of their most personally raw and lyrically compelling pieces of work to date, ‘Spirit Breaker’ finds vocalist Austin McAuley grappling with compounding experiences of loss in his life, the track climaxing with the gut-wrenching lyric “…it’s just the cycle of loss stuck on repeat again“. On this sentiment, McAuley shares: “These words are a look inward to the personal loss I can’t seem to escape. From grandparents, my father, friends and even pets, it’s a looming feeling that I can’t shake off. I’m always worried about what’s going to come next and it fuels my anxiety to an uncontrollable degree. After losing so much in such a short time, I have times mentally, where I become numb to the thought of losing someone or something else”. Specifically, ‘Spirit Breaker’ courses through McAuley’s final conversation with a close childhood friend before his passing due to an overdose. Darting between both the perspectives of him and his friend, the [Read More]

MURALS RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE “WINDBREAKER” FT. KAONASHI VOCALIST PETER RONO

January 31, 2022

Today, innovative new post-hardcore band Murals have begun their musical journey with “Windbreaker”, out now on Rude Records/Equal Vision Records. Dedicated to the memory of late Feverwar singer Nicholous Thomas, the song features Kaonashi vocalist Peter Rono. The single kicks off with fast guitar blasts and caustic percussion that sound like anything but a first single, which can be attributed to the sizable experience each member boasts. Murals showcase three talented instrumentalists – Shane Gann of Hail The Sun (guitar), Blake Dahlinger of Sufferer / I The Mighty (drums), and Tony Bautista (bass), alongside a revolving roster of vocalists. The main influences for this project are actual stories from the vocalists themselves, which drives the band to make powerful works that fully capture the feelings involved. While they may finish a song before it’s presented to the vocalist, they revise their arrangement and production approach to correlate the music to support the story being told. All three core members are rhythm-section players at heart, and the listener can distinctly hear their love for solid foundations [Read More]

January 26, 2022

  Philadelphia-based Circa Survive announce “A Dream About Death”, a second EP with brand-new, crossover music. The popular alt-prog/post-hardcore-giants announce the release for February 4th. Yesterday the music video for the powerful opening track “Electric Moose” was released. It introduces a new era for the band, which presents itself bolder and more progressive. “Electric Moose” is one of the favorite songs of Circa Survive-frontman Anthony Green from the upcoming EP. “I really love this song,” explains Green. “It developed after we were done with the writing. The other songs have already been sent off for mastering. This song developed completely organic, and we liked it so much, that we absolutely wanted to record it.” The lyrics to “Electric Moose” have originally been a poem he wrote about domestic violence. About someone, that is caught in a relationship but tries to stick to the thoughts of how it has been before things got violent. The video was directed by Katherine White. It follows a similar story and uses an intensive dance performance to catch the atmosphere [Read More]

Wolves At The Gate drop “Lights & Fire” video

January 24, 2022

Wolves At The Gate have announced their fifth album “Eulogies”. It arrives on March 11 via Solid State Records. The band has also shared the video for the new track “Lights & Fire”, a dynamic track, which boasts anthemic choruses and a cinematic and quiet mid-section that builds to an epic crescendo. “While all of these songs were quite personal for me, this one held a different weight, as it related to a number of the most painful parts of my life. It showed me how I was holding onto things that were actually destructive to me” shares vocalist/guitarist Steve Cobucci “It was the first time that I truly felt alone. I had to end a relationship that I put a lot of hope in. Soon afterward, I got robbed. My laptop, recording gear, guitars, amps — all gone. I didn’t have the money to replace things. Soon after, I tore my ACL and meniscus, which was a blow to my aspirations to play soccer for a living. All these things combined left me feeling [Read More]

Pop-punk/post-hardcore band Calling All Captains is eager to finally share their new song, “Tailspin”, with the world. The track is premiering today, exclusively on Under The Radar. “’Tailspin’ is a song about falling deep into your own vices, consistently telling yourself you need to change, but struggling with the real pain that comes with healing,” the band shares. “This is the first song we’ve released in over two years and it features Connor’s voice upfront and personal, adding a new element to the music”. Calling All Captains is Luc Gauthier (vocals), Brad Bremner (guitar), Connor Dawkins (guitar), Nick Malychuk (bass), and Tim Wilson (drums).
