No Apologies Unveils Emotionally Charged New Single “Grief”
Return of the Hardcore Quintet
Sydney, Australia’s hardcore/crossover band, No Apologies, is back with a poignant new track, “Grief.” This release marks a significant return for the quintet, showcasing their evolution and emotional depth through music. The song is set to be featured on their forthcoming album, Life.
A Deep Dive into Loss
“Grief” confronts the complex emotions surrounding the loss of a parent. The title itself encapsulates the essence of the song, which is both hard-hitting and introspective. Musically, “Grief” presents a mid-tempo chug that takes an unexpected turn into a stoner metal groove during its solo, creating a unique soundscape that resonates with listeners.
Visual Storytelling
The accompanying music video, shot in stark black and white, was directed and edited by Travis De Vries. It features live performance shots of the band members: Pete Abordi (vocals), Peter Bursky (guitar), Andres Hyde (drums), Chris Wilson (guitar), and Patrick Taylor (bass). This visual aesthetic enhances the emotional weight of the track, providing a raw glimpse into the band’s dynamic and energy.
About the Upcoming Album
Life is set to be produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Elliott Gallart at Chameleon Studios, with contributions from Benjamin Cunningham. Fans can look forward to its release on vinyl and digital formats via Last Ride Records on August 29. Preorders are currently available for those eager to experience the full album.
Insights from the Vocalist
Vocalist Pete Abordi shared his personal connection to the song, stating:
“The grief I felt after my father’s passing was unlike anything I’d ever felt before, more than just an emotion it was something I could actually feel, as in physically. Whenever I was awake it was with me, and the only time I could get away from it was when I went to sleep at the end of each day. This song delves into those emotions, and for anyone experiencing a loss of their own, I think they would be able to relate.”
Conclusion
No Apologies’ new single “Grief” is a compelling exploration of loss, delivered through powerful music and poignant visuals. As they prepare for the release of Life, fans and new listeners alike can anticipate a deeper connection to the band’s artistry and emotional narratives.
