Movements New Video for "Live By The Sword" — New Album “Happier Now” Arrives September 4 via Fearless Records

Southern California's post-hardcore stalwarts MOVEMENTS will unleash their fourth album Happier Now on September 4 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

In the lead up, they are sharing another new song, this time in the form of "Live By the Sword." Watch the video here.

"Live by the Sword" is a sonically frantic exercise, with hushed vocal chants and guitar-forward motion. The song's thrust is powered by the mid-tempo tension that has become such a definitive hallmark of Movements' sound. It clangs, it clatters, and it's everything that fans of the band and this genre know and love about Movements.

ABOUT MOVEMENTS:

Movements are proud to announce their fourth full-length album for Fearless Records, Happier Now, with GRAMMY-winner Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Circa Survive) once again serving as producer. The result is an album that's as expansive as it is emotional and takes Movements' signature sound to a heightened level that further establishes the band as scene statesmen.

"I think at first we weren’t really sure what the record was going to be," vocalist Patrick Miranda admits. "We all had a general idea: We wanted it to bring in the early elements of our sound and blend it with the newer material like [2023's] RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds." Two of the songs that came from that initial session were the album’s first two singles: The instantly infectious anthem "Dissolve Me" and moody meditation "Back In My Ways," which collectively acted as sonic north stars to guide the band through the recording process.

In many ways, Happier Now is a full circle moment for Movements, who are once again performing on the Warped Tour this summer and slowly becoming veterans of the community that inspired them growing up. The struggle never sounded so sweet.
