New music from Bury The Pines

Newcomers Bury The Pines rise as an exciting new outfit in the alternative rock scene, hailing from Cleveland, Ohio. The quartet features the talents of vocalist Marcus Smith, guitartist Joe Skowronski, Nick Fischer on bass and drummersMat Markuz, who together draw from a myriad of influences and inspirations.

Their musical output spans various genres, fusing elements of emo, pop punk, post hardcore and math rock, resulting in a sound that’s both cohesive and entirely original. Prioritising the development of their live performance, Bury The Pines developed their chemistry onstage, fine-tuning their sound based on audience feedback. Their dedication to engaging with their fans was kicked off with their performance towards the end of last year with their friends in the band Stay Gone organised their first show.

Last year marked a pivotal moment for the band as they ventured into the studio to capture their sound to share with listeners beyond the stage. Linking up with longtime friend and collaborator Evan Hendrix, both in the studio and on stage as a rhythm guitarist, they embarked on the recording process, laying down the tracks for their highly anticipated debut EP.

Unveiling their sound with their first single, last month they dropped the track “ADHD” and now bring us their latest release with their sophomore outing titled “All Quiet (On the Midwestern Front).” The track thematically covers the situation of being thrust into a battle against one’s will, evoking a sense of desperation juxtaposed with a vibrant and thrilling musical backdrop.

Distilling their prog rock, emo aesthetic and math rock technicality into an engaging musical experience that’s at once rugged and crisp, “All Quiet (On the Midwestern Front)” serves up an exhilarating and melodic alternative rock ride. Brought in by the flutter of crunchy guitar rhythms, the slide of bass ushers in the full band sound of splashy drums and powerful vocal leads.

Settling into a grooving verse full of delicate melodic lines and intricate arrangement, the song launches into a burst of charging guitars, punching drums and impassioned vocals, overlapping to form a memorable and energising sound. Flowing through a gripping rock scene brimming with slick guitar flourishes, lively drums and an expressive vocal performance that bends from smooth melodic stretches to belted, aggressive moments, “All Quiet (On the Midwestern Front)” sees Bury The Pines go from strength to strength on their superb sophomore single while build the hype for their forthcoming EP release.
