This Maryland punk trio are filling (sic) our ears with a suitably summery uptempo anthem, inviting us to a late night dance party on the latest floor-filler from their upcoming new album.
The band say of the song:
For ‘Vacant,’ we drew upon our ever-present punk influences to create a sound that feels familiar while also introducing concepts new to us. Though we’re no strangers to breakdowns, the one in this song was inspired by grunge jam sections rather than hardcore/metalcore, and ended up becoming of the grooviest parts we’ve ever written.”
‘Vacant’ is cheeky, urgent, and energetic, and we wanted to reflect that visually with a lighthearted, un-serious music video. Inspired by Beyonce’s ‘7/11’ video, it showcases the three of us and our two touring members, Michael and Kirby, just hanging out. A simple concept, but it captures our genuine selves connecting and reconnecting with the song and each other as we have a late-night dance party.
- ‘Earthkeeper‘ is due to be released on 1 August via Hopeless Records.
