Labra Brothers Release ‘One More Day’
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Labra Brothers have released “One More Day,” the newest single from their upcoming self-titled album.
Recorded at Court Street Productions and produced by acclaimed songwriter, guitarist, and producer Marc Lee Shannon, the track serves as a declaration of survival against the heavy grip of anxiety and mental fatigue.
“One More Day” centers on themes of mental resilience, capturing the ongoing, exhausting struggle against internal demons. Moving fluidly between English and Spanish, the lyrics unfold partly as a direct confrontation with the “beast within,” which makes its distinct presence known specifically during the Spanish-language phrases. Through smooth, signature brotherly harmonies, the band transforms a chaotic internal crisis into a soaring, triumphant declaration of endurance.
“This song is about the moments when you realize that you are your own biggest obstacle,” says lead vocalist and guitarist Adrian Labra. “We lean on the cumbia rhythm to stare that anxiety in the face, and ultimately dance through all of it.”
“One More Day” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

Alongside examples of popular shapes and patterns, the exhibit shares what each department contributed to the process and how everyday hands turned raw materials into objects of beauty and purpose used across the globe. More than an industrial history, this is a story of community, family, and shared accomplishment.
