Inclination (Knocked Loose etc.) ballern uns zwei neue Songs um die Ohren

2017 hat sich aus aktiven und ehemaligen Mitgliedern von Knocked Loose, Expire und SeeYouSpaceCowboy die Straight Edge Hardcore-Band Inclination formiert. Diese meldet sich nach zwei EPs anno 2019 so langsam aber sicher mit neuem Stoff zurück.

Nach der 2021er Nummer „Fruition“ hat die Kombo mittlerweile gleich zwei neue Songs an den Start gebracht. Namentlich wären das die Singles „Thoughts And Prayers“ und „A Decision“.

Bei zweiterer Nummer gastieren dabei Ryan Savitski (One Step Closer) und Russell Bussey von Magnitude.

Inclination (Knocked Loose etc.) mit neuer Musik

Inclination-Frontmann Tyler Short kommentiert die beiden Outputs wie folgt:

“I wrote ‘Thoughts and Prayers‘ because I was sick of watching the people who have been elected to power in this country more or less stand idly by as the community I live in, as well as countless others, are ripped apart by a drug epidemic.

The fact that the majority of these individuals are in the pocket of the pharmaceutical companies that helped push these drugs on people who were not clearly informed of the risk all but guarantees that no substantive change would or could be made.

Instead, they take to the complicit media and offer thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers can’t fix the backbreaking labor or economic anxiety that hangs around the working classes neck 52 weeks a year but as long as healthcare is allowed to run as a for-profit enterprise those existential problems have no incentivized solution.

So we will be patronized by our leaders and divided amongst each other while they attempt to convince us that it’s our fault for ending up here and it won’t matter how many of us die in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.”

‘A Decision‘ is a look at the feeling of finding straight edge at the age I did, when I still really didn’t know who I was, and deciding to identify with the movement. That’s what straight edge is to me, it’s a movement towards something.

I think that ‘something’ varies depending on who you are talking to and I wanted to venture out and ask that question of a couple of our contemporaries. I reached out to Russ from Magnitude and Ryan from One Step Closer and asked them if they’d be a part of the song and help me write it by giving their unique perspective and voice to what it means to make that decision.

Straight edge has shaped my life and I think there is value to everyone’s individual journeys toward this collective idea.“

Und so klingen die neuen Songs

Inclination stehen aktuell bei Pure Noise Records unter Vertrag. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass uns dieses Jahr zumindest eine EP, eventuell sogar noch mehr ins Haus steht.
