American post-emo band BEN QUAD have released a brand new single!
The new music video, for the track Painless, is the second single to be lifted from the band’s upcoming album Wisher, which is scheduled to be released on November 14th via Pure Noise Records.
Speaking about the new song, guitarist Edgar Viveros says, “Painless is about processing feelings of grief and guilt after the loss of a close friend. It deals with the struggle of seeing someone you love show depressive warning signs and feeling helpless in your attempts to reach out to them. In the aftermath, you just wish you could have done something more to show this person how lucky you felt to have them in your life.
We knew early on in the demoing process that we wanted the vocals to pull from 2000’s emo. The chorus is a big nod to bands such as TAKING BACK SUNDAY and features Sam and Henry trading off lines in the classic emo co-vocalist style. For the outro, we wanted to bring back the post-hardcore/screamo heaviness that we showcased on our previous release, Ephemera. Painless not only has the pop-sensibility that we’re introducing with the new record, but also the shreddy, midwest emo guitar lines we’ve come to be known for and the raw, aggressive sound we displayed on our last EP.”
