Out Today via Run For Cover Records. North American Headline Tour starts next week. New album ‘All You Embrace’ out now.

Last year One Step Closer released their new full-length, ‘All You Embrace’, today the Wilkes-Barre punk heroes are back with a massive new single, ‘Jinx’. Album found band creating their most anthemic and passionate work to date while still packing the bite that longtime fans have some to love, and single pushes that dichotomy even further. Recorded and produced by Jon Markson (Drug Church, The Story So Far, Drain, Koyo) it’s a towering cut of widescreen post-hardcore that envelopes the listener in churning guitars and vocalist Ryan Savitski‘s fierce yet melodic roar. Guitarist Ross Thompson discussed the music video saying:

“I was inspired by director Andrei Tarkovsky: come up with a strange concept and make it look pretty. My goal was that if you paused the video at any moment you could print it out and hang it on your wall. Just make a pretty video with my pretty friends. This was all done within two weeks. Three days of filming (one day, one half day, then four hours) and then the rest was editing. I made the first rough draft in iMovie as the demo then my friend Layne who also shot it translated everything into Premiere. This was a group effort and fun project to work on with all the homies.”

One Step Closer have been touring nonstop in support of new record, their next round of shows is a lengthy North American headline run with support from Bleed, Magnitude, World Of Pleasure, Stateside and more. Attendees will be able to snag a tour-exclusive CD mixtape of songs (including ‘Jinx’) along with a 20 page zine made by the band.
