Fresno, California metalcore outfit SCOUNDREL drop their latest official music video Get A Grip, featuring Augie, a track built on contrast, tension, and release. Clocking in just over two minutes, the song wastes no time establishing its identity, dividing itself into two distinct halves that collide into a single statement. Get A Grip captures the band’s willingness to bend structure while keeping intensity at the core, resulting in a short but impactful burst of controlled aggression.
The first half of the track is driven by Augie’s rapid-fire vocal delivery, leaning heavily into a rhythmic, hip-hop-influenced approach that sets an uneasy, confrontational tone. The beat stays tight and minimal, creating space for the vocals to cut through with clarity and urgency. This section builds tension rather than releasing it, holding the listener in suspense before the shift that defines the song’s second act.
When SCOUNDREL fully enter, Get A Grip pivots hard into a down-tempo, heavy metalcore assault. Guitars drop low, drums hit with deliberate force, and the track transforms into something weighty and punishing. The contrast feels intentional rather than abrupt — a release of everything that was held back in the opening moments, giving the song its physical impact and grounding it in heaviness.
The official music video mirrors this duality through two separate performance setups, both filmed inside an indoor skate park. The split visuals reinforce the song’s structure, keeping the feature and the band visually distinct while sharing the same raw environment. With Get A Grip, SCOUNDREL showcase their ability to merge styles without losing focus, delivering a concise, modern metalcore statement that hits hard and leaves no excess behind.
