Inspired by the ever-changing state of our world, the band removes the rose-colored glasses to highlight the importance of taking care of yourself mentally through their hard hitting beats and their authentic, raw lyrics.
Before releasing this EP, they self-released the single “Who I Left Behind (Death Rattle)” on January 7, 2022. Though not a track on this new EP, it’s still a must-listen. The band also released a music video for this track. Scenes in the video portray overdose. Holsbeke sings, “Body on the floor, face is blue / He can’t feel the warmth of the room / And I can’t feel a heartbeat / Five minutes later he’s up on his feet / Gets in the car to drive away / “Son I love you but you can’t stay / I don’t want you to pass away.”
As For The Punks contributor Precious Tucker shared earlier this year during their interview, “Montclair’s repertoire utilizes piercing vocals, sublime stanzas, visceral visuals, and intense illustrations all to amplify the importance of asking for help.”
