SHORELINE Announce Album 'Is This The Low Point Or The Moment After?' out 13th March on Pure Noise Records – New Singles 'Sweet Spot' & 'Out Of Touch'

Emo punk/hardcore outfit SHORELINE have announced their new album Is This The Low Point Or The Moment After? The record is due for release on 13th March 2026 on Pure Noise Records and alongside the announcement come two singles, Sweet Spot and Out Of Touch.

"Sweet Spot explores the narrative of two people slowly drifting apart from each other without even noticing. It channels the anger of misunderstanding each other in a fast but very melodic pop punk track." says Hansol Seung

Is This The Low Point Or The Moment After? is a concept album that dares the listener to recall the situations in life when you've hit rock bottom and consider if you were able to point out the moment from which things got better again? SHORELINE also ask themselves this question and dedicate an entire album to it. Their new songs undoubtedly propel the band from Münster to the peak of their creative powers: emo and hardcore meet a newfound passion for alternative rock, smart songwriting, and lyrics that go where it hurts.

“There’s a very clear turning point within this album for me - the lowpoint - if you will, from which the mood and songs start to become more hopeful. When I showed the record to our closest friends, everyone told me a different part that they’ve very clearly identified as the(ir) low point. I think that is in equal parts funny but also beautiful.” says Hansol Seung

While its soundscape is very clearly growing from the new wave of emo/HC bands such as One Step Closer, Arm’s Length Or Koyo, it has unmissable references from the unique clash of alternative music scenes in Germany.

Is This The Low Point Or The Moment After? is showing off a band that has a very clear vision of what kind of music they wanted to write. Big melodies, heavy riffs, but all rooted in a raw, honest take from a DIY Punk perspective.

The band will be touring this winter in the UK and EU with label mates Arm's Length, KOYO and Ben Quad. Full dates below:
