"You Remember" (Single, Dec 18th, 2020)
Muffled vocals, as if listening through a windowpane, slowly fade to clarity as Baltimore, MD based Pop Punk / Post-Hardcore act, Crosswinds’ new single, “You Remember” comes into focus. Drawing inspiration from their prior music and stretching the stylistic borderlines of ‘pop punk’ music, Crosswinds is on the cusp of something special with this refreshing piece…
Sounding reminiscent of featured acts on the blog before such as Yellow Pages, The Maguas, and Midfield, unrestricted lyrics blow the discussion wide open regarding mental struggles as emotional swings and mayhem spill out of this poignant track. Addressing what could be interpreted as a cliché, post-breakup experience, Crosswinds aims to make you once again feel everything you felt when “December” by Neck Deep first played - and more. Delivered across catchy riffs, nostalgic tones pine away for the past, hoping the next ‘sunny day’ is just around the corner. Surging toward the precipice of the track, the post-hardcore aspect to this band refuses to remain silent -
“...(I can’t erase mistakes)
Take a piece of me open up to me
(Take away the pain)
And don’t be afraid to say...”- Excerpt from “You Remember”
Not much is sonically changing with this project, however, a promising evolution reveals itself as the young act seeks to grasp a head-start on the ways of the post-pandemic future. Shining a light into the dark, Crosswinds boldly tackle mental health and clarity within this piece, extending their musical collection - and their vocal range - while crafting a saga in “You Remember” which will land as a bop in many ears. - Nic B
