New Jersey progressive post-hardcore group With Sails Ahead returns with their first single since 2018 on November 12th
Progressive rock band With Sails Ahead are elated to share the release date for their brand new single “In Fear and Loathing”. Their first release since 2018, the track will be available on all digital music platforms and retailers on Thursday, November 12th.
In 2018, With Sails Ahead vocalist, Sierra Binondo, described her feelings of helplessness and anxiety lyrically, “No act of God can save me. I’m not brave, I’m just sorry,” inspiring their 2020 single release, “In Fear and Loathing.” Flash forward two years, and the sentiment remains the same. The newest track from the progressive post-hardcore group is a bombastic, high-energy song that explores the tumultuous tug-of-war between one’s fears and the pressure to put on a brave face. Sparkling guitar leads intertwined with syncopated grooves from the rhythm section and soaring vocals creates music akin to veterans of the band's genre. With Sails Ahead hopes the single serves as a release for those tired of fighting a fight they were not born to combat.
Vocalist Sierra Binondo shares, “I wrote these lyrics before I could fathom the global disasters that would occur years later around the time the single would finally be released. The song, both lyrically and instrumentally, conveys the urgency I constantly feel to survive as a functioning, confident human being in my twenties. My bandmates have contributed some wonderful flourishes to the song that truly make it our own, and we hope people will gravitate towards the message we hope to convey.”
"In Fear and Loathing" will be available on all major digital retailers and streaming services Thursday, November 12th, 2020. Pre-save the single on Spotify and Apple music here: https://ffm.to/rzwvxxo
About With Sails Ahead:
With Sails Ahead was formed out of a love for post-hardcore music and a dream to contribute new sounds to the alternative scene. Originally born out of the bedroom studio of Sierra Binondo, the outfit solidified after the addition of Josef Warner-Reyes, Jaime Martinez, Ryan Venancio, and Santino Costa in 2017. During the course of their career, they have built a humble following in the US through touring, and sharing the stage with artists like Hail the Sun, Royal Coda, Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance, A Lot Like Birds, and Sianvar. The band’s enthusiasm for pushing on and defying the boundaries of post-hardcore hasn’t waned, and they look forward to releasing an LP one day soon.
