One Step Closer – “Blur My Memory”

Spencer Chamberlain

Wilkes-Barre melodic hardcore greats One Step Closer, a Stereogum Band To Watch back in 2021, will drop their sophomore album All You Embrace later this week. We’ve already posted the early singles “Leap Years,” “Giant’s Despair,” and “Orange Leaf.” Today, they’ve shared one last song before the album gets here.

All You Embrace finds One Step Closer veering into their more vulnerable and emotional side, but they’re still capable of kicking up a ruckus, and we can hear that on the new track “Blur My Memory.” It’s a soaring, heartfelt jam that still has plenty of fire. On top of the new song, One Step Closer recently announced that they’re bringing back their triple-headliner tour with melodic hardcore peers Koyo and Anxious. That tour crossed the country earlier this year, and they’l go off on another leg of it this summer, with Prize Horse and Arm’s Length opening a bunch of shows. Below, check out “Blur My Memory” and the band’s tour dates.
