Whether it's from their triumphant debut EP Dagger Breaks Window, from their recent UK debut supporting Bring Me The Horizon's Count Your Blessings anniversary shows, or their impending tour with fellow rising stars Static Dress and I Promised The World, CAR UNDERWATER have had their hands in all things emo. Now, to satiate fans along the way, they deliver "Waiting (For The Rope To Slip)." It's an angular anthem that builds up to the breakdown.
Watch the video below.
The single arrives ahead of the sleeper-hit emo tour of 2026, which is not to be missed. Supporting genre juggernaut Static Dress alongside fellow metalcore rising stars I Promised The World, the Injury Episode USA Tour kicks off November 4 in Detroit and will hit a slew of major cities including Portland, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, and New York, NY, with appearances from special guests Concealer, Sherane, and septemberistheonlytimeidontthinkofyou.
Comprised of vocalist Max Epstein (Photographic Memory, Wisp, Jane Remover), guitarist Sonny Foster, drummer Zach CapittiFenton (Photographic Memory, Wisp), bassist Nolan Nunes(Ghostemane) and Australian producer, keyboardist, and vocalist Darcy Baylis(Ninajirachi, daine, After), the band taps into the nostalgia receptors via inspiration from third-wave emo icons such as From First To Last, Underoath, and Thursday, all the while exploring thoroughly contemporary song structures and techniques to bring sounds from the past firmly into the future. The result is their own DNA-distinct sound that is destined to break through in 2027.
