This album is special - some of these choruses are massive. Esruc is the one I keep coming back to. They worked on a few songs each with Isaac Hale (Knocked Loose) and Mat Kerekes (Citizen) which is pretty cool!
Here’s a review I wrote for the album if anyone is interested! (ALBUM REVIEW) One Step Closer – All You Embrace Two more days!
i saw this comment and then ten minutes later i was like "i bet this is esruc" and sure enough...definitely the highlight so far. whole thing has been awesome though.
Liked this a ton on my morning drive. Missing the hardcore influence and the prominent harsh vocals but they do make some dang good pop punk.
had this on in the car running around with my mom today and liked what I heard but excited to sit down with it for real
I love this place you know because of how much it reminds me of defeater but I absolutely understand why they wouldn’t stick with that sound and move in this direction. they traded out one 2011 coded sound for another and it sounds fantastic still
yeah this rules. Can feel the Citizen influence. Song structures are interesting enough that the pop*pier moments don't feel like too big of a departure.
