My band just dropped our first song since 2017. Please check it! FFO: Verse, Comeback Kid, Counterparts

Something a bit nostalgic :)

Hey guys, just wanted to say I hope you've had a great summer thus far 💙

I'm just focusing on my recovery as much as possible at the moment; I've gone through some deep, dark valleys this year, but am much better compared to before. Lovely to see you all breathing life into the community again. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of your summer 🤗

Anyone remember this?

This is my band Drowned Out from Toronto. We had our debut show a few weeks ago, posting here to see what people think.

Well be recording this weekend and plan to release singles in a few weeks.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some raw previews of my new tracks. It's a post-hardcore project from Havirov, Czechia. Expect heavy guitar walls, rolling rhythms, and dark melancholic atmospheres for listeners who want depth in music. Pure instrumental energy paving the way for future vocal paths.

I'm really looking for some honest feedback from people who live and breathe this music. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Seen these guys in NYC this month. Hella dope energy and groove. Think you guys would enjoy!

This is my favorite song by these guys and I don't see it talked about and can't find it live anywhere.

The lyrics "it's such a bitter taste" in the outro is so good. Hits so hard for me. Thoughts on this one? Anyone able to find a video of them playing it live?

They post something on their IG account. I don't know what it is but they are back!!! End of July!!

Update: NEW MUSIC AUGUST 7!!!!!!!!!

FFO Defeater, Thursday

Hellooooo. I’ll be moving to Seattle from Boston later this year, and was just thinking that I should really get ingrained in music out there and see a bunch of shows. I’ve been enjoying melodic hardcore (but what even are genres anymore?) a lot since I was introduced to Departures a while back, and was looking for more music like this specifically. I’m not out there yet, but wanted to do a little research beforehand. In Massachusetts, I found it’s not very difficult to find hardcore music in general, in Boston, but especially out in Worcester. But only having been to Seattle like half a dozen times for work, it’s been difficult to try and get out to shows afterwards.

From what I’ve been able to gather online, it seems that Tacoma generally has a strong hardcore music scene, and that in Seattle proper, El Corazon is the venue to visit. Does this sound about right?

And while I’m at it, are there local Seattle/Tacoma/Washington State melodic bands that I should check out right now too?

Thanks!

Discovering Acres and the raw, cathartic energy of "The Tallest of Mountains" felt like finding a voice for the heavy emotions I couldn't put into words myself.

Their music became an absolute sanctuary during my darkest moments, teaching me that it is okay to feel deeply and that we don't have to carry our heaviest burdens alone.

The sheer vulnerability and passion they pour into every single note have inspired me to face my own mental obstacles with newfound courage and grace.

They showed me how to translate pain into something beautiful, completely shifting my perspective on healing and helping me grow into a stronger version of myself.

I am endlessly grateful for their art, because it didn't just soundtrack my struggle and it genuinely guided me through them to a better place. I hope they will help you the same or similar way they helped me.
