One Step Closer Share New Single "Jinx"

Video and single streaming everywhere now

Last year One Step Closer released their new full-length, All You Embrace, boldly expanding the scope of their sound and drawing acclaim from the likes of Stereogum, Uproxx, BrooklyVegan, FLOOD Magazine and more. Today the Wilkes-Barre punk heroes are back with a massive new single, "Jinx."

All You Embrace found One Step Closer creating their most anthemic and passionate work to date while still packing the bite that longtime fans have some to love, and "Jinx" pushes that dichotomy even further. Recorded and produced by Jon Markson (Drug Church, The Story So Far, Drain, Koyo) it's a towering cut of widescreen post-hardcore that envelopes the listener in churning guitars and vocalist Ryan Savitski's fierce yet melodic roar.

Guitarist Ross Thompson discussed the music video saying: "I was inspired by director Andrei Tarkovsky: come up with a strange concept and make it look pretty. My goal was that if you paused the video at any moment you could print it out and hang it on your wall. Just make a pretty video with my pretty friends. This was all done within two weeks. Three days of filming (one day, one half day, then four hours) and then the rest was editing. I made the first rough draft in iMovie as the demo then my friend Layne who also shot it translated everything into Premiere. This was a group effort and fun project to work on with all the homies."

All You Embrace follows 2021's This Place You Know and 2023's Songs For The Willow which catapulted One Step Closer into the ranks of the most exciting new bands coming out of hardcore. All You Embrace makes good on all of that potential, leaning into the most melodic elements of the band's sound without sacrificing an ounce of energy. The album finds One Step Closer exploring the sonic overlaps of hardcore, emo, '90s alternative, and more--resulting in the most ambitious songs they've ever written. “I wanted to showcase One Step Closer in its fullest state,” explains vocalist Ryan Savitski. “Every single part of the band, I wanted it to be there. I wanted us to be 100% ourselves and be as authentic to our band as we could possibly be.” All You Embrace is certainly imbued with that sense of identity, a testament to knowing who you are in a world of uncertainties, and a powerful new era for One Step Closer.

One Step Closer have been touring nonstop in support of All You Embrace, their next round of shows is a lengthy North American headline run with support from Bleed, Magnitude, World of Pleasure, Stateside, and more. Attendees will be able to snag a tour-exclusive CD mixtape of songs (including "Jinx") along with a 20 page zine made by the band.
