Movements Share New Song "Where I Lay" — LISTEN // Tour Kicks Off 3/1

MOVEMENTS are delighted to share the brand new song "WHERE I LAY."

Watch and listen via the visualizer below.

The song boasts Movements' signature push and pull guitar tension, but there is a level of stunning refinement of the band's sonic hallmarks. It also finds the band exploring some territory it had stepped away from in the songwriting process.

"'Where I Lay' is one of those songs that was tough for me to write," says vocalist Patrick Miranda. "Lyrically, it's really emotionally vulnerable and it had me revisiting places with my writing that I hadn't explored in a while. It's for anyone else out there who feels like they've never quite fit right in the world. This one is for the outcasts."

Regarding the single's striking, black and white artwork and its overarching connective tissue with the previously released Movements song "Afraid To Die," Miranda states, "It's a behind-the-scenes film photo that I took at the 'Afraid To Die' music video shoot!"

He furthers, "The idea is that 'Afraid To Die' and 'Where I Lay' are living in the same world thematically — and, in some ways, are extensions of one another. In 'Afraid To Die,' I'm being chased by masked figures. In 'Where I Lay,' the masked figure is going to be me. Since 'Where I Lay' is about feeling like you don't belong; it's almost this idea that the reason I was being chased in 'Afraid To Die' is because I never really was supposed to be part of the group of masked figures to begin with. It's like you're wearing a mask to try to blend in, but in the end, it's pointless... because one way or another, you'll be found out."

In other Movements news, the band will embark on their 2025 North American Tour, joined by special guests Citizen, Scowl, and Downward. Produced by Live Nation, the 24-city tour kicks off on March 1 at Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ making stops across North America in Atlanta, Toronto, Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, and more, before wrapping up in Los Angeles at The Torch at the LA Coliseum on April 6.

Movements Share Video for New Song "Afraid to Die"

Southern California post-hardcore band MOVEMENTS — Patrick Miranda, vocals; Ira George, guitar; Spencer York, drums; and Austin Cressey, bass — dropped the brand new single "Afraid to Die." It's the first taste of new music since the band's latest album RUCKUS!, which arrived in summer 2023 via Fearless Records. Get the album, produced by Will Yip, here.

Watch the official "Afraid to Die" music video below.

Movements' push and pull style of post-hardcore, defined by dissonant, tension and release guitar work, thunderclap percussion, and frontman Patrick Miranda's heartfelt lyrics and vocals, is perfectly executed on "Afraid to Die." The anthemic track is full of frantic energy with an ever-so-subtle '80s influence threaded through the song.

"With "Afraid to Die,' we were able to take the energy that was in RUCKUS!, and fine-tune it by exploring different realms of what this band can be and what our music can sound like, and I think we did a good job of that with this song," says Miranda. "Sonically, it's so different than anything we've ever done, and yet I think it still pulls on the heart strings as a lot of our older music does. This song is energetic and bouncy, and I can see it being a really fun song to play live and I can't wait to start doing that!"

Movements are headed over to the UK for tour later this month and the band will be back on the road in the U.S. this September. They have several key festivals on deck, including When We Were Young. All upcoming dates are below!

The band has shared the video for "I Hope You Choke!" to celebrate the momentous release! Watch it here.

Movements have mastered the art of push and pull dissonance throughout the course of their career and that signature style is patently evident on "I Hope You Choke!" Tinny, tense guitar work, alternately sung and talked lyrics, and a gang chant of "I hope you choke" perfectly capture sonic storm-and-stress, the tension-and-release style that fans know and love.

Today, the band has shared the video for "Heaven Sent." Watch it below. 

"Heaven Sent" is a dreamy track. The song finds the band stepping out and experimenting with poppier elements, all the while holding true to their signature sound and style. There's an upbeat melody threaded throughout the song, while singer Patrick Miranda croons about a relationship that's seemingly been sent from above. Fans, both new and old, will enjoy seeing Movements stepping and playing with their sound!

Movements Share "Tightrope" Video — WATCH

NEW ALBUM RUCKUS! ON AUGUST 18 VIA FEARLESS RECORDS 

Southern California band MOVEMENTS — Patrick Miranda, vocals; Ira George, guitar; Spencer York, drums; and Austin Cressey, bass — recently announced their new album, RUCKUS!, out August 18 via Fearless Records. Pre-order the album, produced by Will Yip, here.

Today, the band has shared the video for "Tightrope." Watch it below. 

"Tightrope" shows off the dynamic and melancholic side of So Cal post-hardcore band Movements. The quiet, restrained opening verses, framed by Patrick Miranda's plaintive and emotive vocals, give way to the push and pull riffing that the band has built its sound on over the course of several albums. It shows off a different side of the band's musical personality with downright pretty parts sandwiched amongst all the storm and stress. It's a refreshing change of pace that still sounds like the band fans have come to know and love but with a twist!

 "'Tightrope,' in some ways, can be seen as the furthest departure we've taken from our sound thus far," says Miranda. "It lives in a sort of 'sonic in-between' of alternative rock, emo, and ballad pop yet there's still a familiarity that rings true to Movements' bread and butter. We pulled inspiration from all over the place on this one —Justin Bieber-esque pop melodies, Snow Patrol ballad-y instrumentals, and even some drum 'n' bass style breakbeats. It's a weird mashup of shit that ended up turning into something really beautiful. At the end of the day, we're a band whose most popular song is a soft singalong. We're hoping 'Tightrope' might finally be the song to take its place at the top."

It's been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020 album No Good Left to Give debuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 200 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band's third full-length RUCKUS! sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique.

Movements Announce New Album 'RUCKUS!" + Share "Fail You" Video — WATCH

Southern California band MOVEMENTS — Patrick Miranda, vocals; Ira George, guitar; Spencer York, drums; and Austin Cressey, bass — have announced their new album, RUCKUS!, out August 18 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

The album was produced by Will Yip. The band has spent the past several months flexing their creative muscles, pushing their sonic boundaries, and diligently working on new material.

Today, the band has shared the video for "Fail You." Watch it below.  

"Fail You" is all about the push and pull, the tension and release of the chunky guitar riffs, and percussive thrust that have come to define Movements. It's also propelled forward by the emotive vocals of Miranda, the choruses of which fans scream along to at shows — often louder than the band. The bouncy, urgent chorus here will undoubtedly have Movements fans jumping up and down in mosh pits coast to coast.

"'Fail You' has all the inner workings of a classic Movements track wrapped up in a shiny new package and served with a newer, more modern Movements sound," Miranda explains. "It's a song about the fear of letting someone down and losing someone you love — reliving the mistakes over and over again and being haunted by all of your wrongdoings. Fans of both the new and old sounds will find something to love with this one."

Earlier this spring, the band shared videos for the new songs "Killing Time" and "Lead Pipe." Watch the videos, directed by Drew Horen, here.

It's been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020 album No Good Left to Give debuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 200 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band's third full-length RUCKUS! sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique. In order to accomplish this, the band made three extended trips to Yip's Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, to write and record the collection of songs that would end up as RUCKUS! "I truly don't believe that it could have been a more streamlined process and I don't think we've ever written music that's as good as what we put together for this record," Miranda explains. RUCKUS! sees the band integrating decidedly different influences such as Gorillaz and Strokes into their sound to challenge people's preconceptions.

Movements Share Videos for TWO (!!!) New Songs: "Killing Time" + "Lead Pipe — WATCH

MOVEMENTS DROP OFFICIAL VIDEOS FOR TWO BRAND NEW SONGS 

"KILLING TIME" + "LEAD PIPE" USHER IN AN EXCITING CREATIVE ERA FOR THE BELOVED SO CAL BAND

Southern California band MOVEMENTS — Patrick Miranda, vocals; Ira George, guitar; Spencer York, drums; and Austin Cressey, bass — are back with not one but TWO new songs, produced by Will Yip. The band has spent the past several months flexing their creative muscles, pushing their sonic boundaries, and diligently working on new material.

Today, they have shared some of the results of their labor with videos for "Killing Time" and "Lead Pipe." Watch the videos, directed by Drew Horen, below.

"We feel they are the perfect introduction to a new era of Movements," the band states about the new material. "These songs incorporate the core values and themes you'd expect from a Movements song — but they're packaged up in a much different manner."

"Killing Time" packs quite a bit of groove, tension, and dissonance. To that end, the band states that it's "a love song with a dark, self-deprecating undertone. The verses are gritty and dense, the choruses open up into an almost pop-centric singalong before diving into a crushing bridge that exemplifies a love so strong that it can (and probably will) end up killing the narrator."

On the flip side, "Lead Pipe" is a fast, driving, and intense tune that operates off a distorted grind engine, with the band deeming it "a classic mental health track, but one that you probably wouldn't expect or even realize on first listen. The narrator here is describing the moment they realize their dark past is coming back to haunt them. Something they thought they'd overcome is suddenly knocking at the door and will do anything to get back in. However, this time is different. Our narrator is hellbent on ending that struggle once and for all, and has chosen to fight back instead of give in."

Indeed, it has been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020-released album No Good Left to Give debuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then, with 200 million total plays in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the post-hardcore quartet has constantly reinvented itself since forming in 2015. The band dropped the EP Outgrown Things in 2016 and further cemented its sound on the 2017 full-length debut Feel Something. Press accolades have continued to follow the band, from Brooklyn Vegan, AXS, Rock Sound, Culture Collide, Guitar World, and more.

Fans will no doubt be eager to ingest and enjoy the new songs.

But they can expect more new music from Movements soon — as "Lead Pipe" and "Killing Time" are just the beginning.
