This Place You Know - Vinyle Violet Glitter

Description

For One Step Closer, the concept of home is complex. “I’ve never felt so far away from my life,” vocalist Ryan Savitski screams on lead single “Pringle Street,” a street in his hometown that ties the record’s lyrics to a sense of displacement. With their debut full-length, This Place You Know, the band delivers a modern coming-of-age story about growing up and coming to terms with both the known and the unknown. One Step Closer started in 2016, and in just five short years, Savitski, along with drummer Tommy Norton, bassist Brian Talipan, and guitarists Ross Thompson and Grady Allen, have made themselves a pillar of modern hardcore. They notably opened for Have Heart’s now-legendary reunion shows, and joined bands like Knuckle Puck and Turnstile on tour before taking a break to write their first full-length album. This Place You Know touches on the weight of themes like isolation, depression, and loss, all amplified by hard-hitting basslines, intense guitar riffs, and unwavering drums.
