A metalcore band that found mainstream attention with a Taylor Swift cover but kept its focus on struggle and resilience.
If you want to hear what they do best, start with "Hurricane" and "There's Fear In Letting Go." Those tracks frame their sound without the cover-song distraction.
Their 2017 cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" introduced them to a wider audience, but songs like "Hurricane" and "There's Fear In Letting Go" show what they're really about. The music deals with personal struggle and resilience, which feels lived-in rather than just aggressive. Their live shows are known for high energy, but the lyrics are where the weight sits.
They formed in 2013 as a metalcore band. After the "Blank Space" cover brought attention, they released albums like "Trauma" in 2019 and "Bad Things" in 2021, which included songs such as "Lifelines" and "Choke." In 2019, lead vocalist Brian Burkheiser faced domestic violence charges, leading to a temporary hiatus; he returned in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
