Cross My Heart

Temporary Contemporary

Deep Elm

Intense emo that moves further than their last release, hits deeper. Those poetic lyrics that read like lines from lost love poems, tales of longing and loss. Raw intensity that explodes and is also held back, restrained, but even in the quietest moments you can feel the guitars straining to get out. Moving alongside bands such as the Appleseed Cast and Pop Unknown, but holding their own. They have their own dynamics, sharing a style, but making it breathe with a certain heat. I promise… cross my heart.
