“A Bitter Descent means a lot to us because it marks growth and progression for our band. For a long time we felt like we were seen as sort of a throwaway easycore act and we really wanted to prove that we have so much more to offer with this record,” the band shares. “One of our main goals going into the writing process was to tackle more mature subject matter, primarily overcoming mental health issues which is something each member of the band has struggled with in the past and we feel is important to discuss.”
They continue: “Another goal was to explore a wide variety of sounds and vibes while still creating a cohesive record. We’ve always been inspired by bands who are not afraid to give individuality to each song rather than write the same song 12 times, especially when they’re able to do that and still create a well flowing record. We truly believe that we achieved these goals with A Bitter Descent and we are so proud of how the record came out.”
About Another One Down!:
Another One Down! has proven themselves to be an unstoppable force within the New England music scene and beyond since their humble beginnings in the small town of Exeter, Rhode Island.
Over the years the band has played alongside a number of notable scene heavyweights such as Four Year Strong, Metro Station, nothing,nowhere, Broadside, Meet Me @ The Altar, and even played the 2018 Vans Warped Tour. With 3 EPs and a full length record under their belt, the band has established a name for themselves within the pop-punk community, touring all over the east coast and midwest and racking up well over 1,000,000 Spotify streams.
With their debut record A Bitter Descent, Another One Down! has bloomed into something much more than the average pop-punk band, reinventing their hard-hitting sound with a tinge of vulnerability reminiscent of alt-rock bands like Death Cab For Cutie. Sonically they are diverse, with everything from massive pop-punk choruses, shimmering clean ballads, and aggressive fast-paced tracks packaged seamlessly onto one record. Lyrically, vocalist Marcus Simonini tackles the struggles that come with self-reflection, depression, and heartbreak with a mature sensibility.
With the deluxe re-release of A Bitter Descent via Open Your Ears Records on May 26th, Another One Down! proves even further that they are one of the most exciting acts in the current pop-punk scene.
