Emo punk/hardcore outfit SHORELINE have released new single 'Forgive' featuring Joe Taylor from Knuckle Puck.
Speaking about the single singer Hansol Seung said, “Knuckle Puck took us out on a UK tour last year and they were such an amazing band to be on the road with, we’re super stoked to have Joe on the song. When he sent me his tracks it immediately felt right and it was exactly the way I hoped it would sound. When we wrote the song I wanted my voice in the louder parts to almost crack and sound really rough, and I love how Joe’s voice is also sometimes breaking into shouting, matching the energy of the song."
Deeply rooted in the DIY hardcore/punk scene, SHORELINE gained a reputation as a rousing live band after countless shows in squats, rehearsal rooms and basement clubs all over the European continent, so that they quickly found themselves opening for scene legends like Basement, Silverstein, Spanish Love Songs or Hot Water Music.
Last year Shoreline released album To Figure Out, the album continues to reflect on heavy political topics such as the climate crisis and animal rights but also touches very personal topics, difficult friendships and love songs. Produced by Chris Teti at Silverbullet Studios Burlington, CT (among others Anxious, Fiddlehead, The World is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die...) Shoreline not only seamlessly continue their musical originality, but also created their best-sounding record in their career.
Seung (singer) started his journey of self-awareness and empowerment as an Asian-german with the previous record, beginning with an angry bite back towards the racism he experienced growing up in Germany. With more and more BIPOC showing up at the bands shows, connecting with Asian kids all over the world and sharing experiences, Seung continues the process of self-acceptance and unlearning internalised stereotypes on the new record.
The record also features long-time friend of the band Chris Cresswell (The Flatliners, Hot Water Music) on the track “Workaround”, completing the sonic aesthetic of the project: respecting and paying tribute to the roots in classic punkrock, but also stepping forward into a new, modern take of the genre.
