On August 23rd, trueandtrue will release their new single “Pin My Gaze” – marking the first taste of their forthcoming EP ‘This Won’t Last When You Know the Beginning’. Known for their dynamic and emotionally charged soundscapes, trueandtrue once again delivers a energetic blend of hardcore and post-punk that captivates listeners.
“Pin My Gaze” is a visceral exploration of longing and disconnection, weaving together poignant lyrics with intense instrumentals. The song’s lyrics capture a profound sense of introspection and yearning that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
trueandtrue has already made waves with their debut EP ‘Back into Quiet’, garnering international and national attention from outlets such as Stereogum, Metal OBS, NRK P3, P13, disharmoni, and A&R Factory. Their unique approach to the genre, characterized by intense, emotion-laden performances, has been likened to the seminal works of Touche Amore, Alexisonfire and At the Drive-In.
The forthcoming EP ‘This Won’t Last When You Know the Beginning’ is set to continue trueandtrue‘s trajectory of crafting immersive, emotionally resonant music that pushes the boundaries of hardcore and post-punk.
