Critical receptionĬomparing the ensemble to both We Came as Romans and Fall Out Boy, Nicholas Fike of FlippenMusic stated that the band was "able to take the best of both worlds and combine it with a touch of their own". As the very first nationwide headline run for the ensemble, Out Came The Wolves and Light Up The Sky performed as support. The Young Souls Tourįrom mid-June until mid-July 2016, the band travelled the United States for The Young Souls Tour. While the record was released, the band toured with American metalcore band Escape the Fate.ĭuring March and April 2016, the ensemble performed throughout the United States with Slaves, Capture the Crown, Outline in Color and Conquer Divide, and performed at "Scream Out Fest" in early June 2016 at AgeHa (Shinkiba Studio Coast) in Shinkiba, Japan.
Swank stated that the album focused heavily on relationships with other people, and that the title "goes out to today's youth" and that it "follows the ups and downs of growing up in this day and age, trying to become comfortable in one's own skin". In a later interview, he told New Noise Magazine that "Damage" is about realizing that one is in a bad romantic partnership, and that "it investigates the thought process during these moments of clarity, and the determination to separate from it". Screaming vocalist John Ritter states that "Cold Hearts" "challenges the ‘superior’ demeanor society uses to judge its youth", opposing the aversion that young ambitious people face. The album was written in Joey Sturgis' basement by guitarist Austin Doré and clean vocalist Michael Swank. On 24 February 2016, a music video for "Nerve" was published. On 22 October 2015, "Damage" was announced as the fourth single from the work. One week later, on 15 October 2015, "Bring You Home" was released as the third single from the album.
"Cold Hearts", the second single, was published on 8 October. In October, the band published three singles which came from the record. On 24 September 2015, the ensemble released "New Again", which became the first single from the work. In September 2015, the group broadcast that their second studio album would be released at the end of October. They’re definitely going to be the name everyone is talking about soon.In 2013, the ensemble spent a great deal of time connecting with fans, which dramatically influenced the album. You really can’t go wrong with Justin.Ĭheck out the audio interview below, and if you get the chance, go see the band when they’re on tour again. I was able to chat with vocalist Michael Swank on their current US tour (where they’re playing with Conquer Divide and Outline In Color, among others), where we talked about some of his musical idols, a focus on style and substance, and even Justin Timberlake. They’ve even got a new “movement” of sorts, promoting “The Young Souls” (it’s their most recent album of the same name).
Houston post-hardcore newcomers Myka, Relocate may seem like a fairly conventional band in the genre (two vocalists, a pretty even divide between screaming and singing), but the group is armed with a very talented singer in Michael Swank, as well as having the spirit to tour with anyone they get the chance to. In today’s crowded musical climate, how do you stand out? There’s two main things a musician/band needs – talent, and the willingness to work hard.
