Trace Remains is a captivating post-hardcore band whose music is thrilling, melodic and explosive. The Pittsburgh five-piece has just released their album Leverage the Tides. The highlight is the title track, a song that best shows off the band's musical prowess.
With "Leverage The Tides", Trace Remains creates a single all about living in the moment, embracing hope and universal love. Lyrics including, "Leave us some time / Look inside to find revenge is pointless / I find I'm making peace with death / Peel away my story / Feel now / Sleep well / Breathe love," show these existential themes. The song also has an exploration of acceptance, especially of the passing of time and the unknown of death. It is an important reminder to welcome the time we have, live fully and deeply. Musically, "Leverage The Tides" begins with a reverb-drenched guitar hook that is melodic and enthralling. Soon the track erupts with heavy drums and colliding grunge rock meets post-hardcore rhythms. An anthemic chorus over expansive textured soundscapes add to the track's allure. The band teamed up with Dave Hidek (Paul Luc, Zao, The Clarks) to co-produce this masterful musical moment.
Delivering high-energy, emotionally-charged rock music, Trace Remains has spent a better part of two decades honing in on their impressive sound. "Leverage The Tides" is a reflection of a band who has weathered the ups and downs of life and come out the other side with something to prove. Check out the new music now and add it to your favorite playlist.
