Manchester based post-hardcore band Cascade have released the video for their latest single, Ascend.

The single is currently being streamed exclusively through Dead Press with a full interview.

Ascend features intricate guitar riffs with atmospheric undertones complemented by smooth vocal melodies and interspersed visceral screams.

The single is available to listen via iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play and Cascade Bandcamp.

Scott Jackson, drummer of Cascade, said: “Ascend is about feeling trapped in an awful situation and deciding to better yourself in order to become free of the situation and improve things for yourself.”

Cascade have recently gained a sponsorship deal with Fireball Whisky and play across the UK during the year including the Tramlines Fringe in Sheffield.

Everyday Sidekicks have released their new video for Bury Your Friends, from their latest EP, Hope.  Check it out below!

The band have just got back from a very successful tour of mainland Europe, and will be announcing more live dates and tours in the upcoming weeks.

You can stream the EP HERE.

Post-hardcore quartet Everyday Sidekicks have released their EP ‘Hope’.

Discussing the title and overarching theme of the record, vocalist Archie Hatfield comments: “Hope to us is a hugely important factor in life. You constantly have obstacles thrown at you that you need to overcome, times change and sometimes it’s not always good things that come your way. Without Hope for things to get better, life can get on top of you.”

Completed by Guitarist Tim Brown, Bassist Sam Hughes and Drummer Mat Capper, the post-hardcore crew are aware that their name may be puzzling: “Everyday Sidekicks has always been a strange name to people, but to us it’s just a representation of the little guy. We wanted our music to relate to everyone in some way and we feel everyone can relate to the Sidekick in a comic book: never quite being the hero but you’re always there when you are needed, standing by through thick and thin, no matter how tough the road ahead can get.”

Forming from a shared bond of wanting to make music since childhood, the release of debut EP ‘The Things I’ve Seen’, led to slots supporting the likes of Marmozets, Slaves (UK) and Coldrain.

Recording the newly released sophomore at Monnow Valley Studios with Tom Manning, has seen the band make a huge jump. Themeatically the band are attempting to avoid becoming ‘a one trick pony’ and so keep things diverse, with Hope spanning topics from heartbreak to the state of the world.

Suppleness doesn’t end at the lyrics either – although they can be currently best typified as post-hardcore – the band reveal “our sound is a lot more flexible than most artists in our local scene and for our future releases, as we combine several different styles of music. We aim to create our own sound as much as possible, but you can always tell hints of our influences in our music, such as A Day To Remember and Beartooth. We like to think of ourselves as a blend of teeth gritting hardcore mixed with the pop punk roots that we all come from.”

Whilst the pop punk influence may be subtle, at least at this stage, there is no denying the aggression and venom, despite the hopeful outlook.

Hatfield concludes: “We feel that “HOPE” has really seen us push this band to the next level, the songs have a lot more energy and really work well with our playing style and we feel a lot comfier in this area of music. This EP is something we are incredibly proud of and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed writing it!”

‘Hope’ Tracklisting: 1. Glass House | 2. Bury Your Friends | 3. Fracture | 4. Lacuna | 5. Business Secrets Of The Pharaohs
