Reckoner release new single 'ifailme'

Midlands post-hardcore outfit Reckoner have today shared their emotionally charged new single, ‘ifailme’, alongside it’s captivating music video. Capturing the raw emotional weight of self-loathing and the inevitable stumble into failure that many of us feel but rarely express, ‘ifailme’, mixed by the bands very own Dave Tidmarsh & mastered by Mike Kalajian (Bad Omens, Saosin, Periphery), reflects Reckoner’s cinematic inspirations.

“Lyrically, ‘ifailme’ dives into the human condition, grappling with themes of comparison and inadequacy”, shares vocalist Phil Sparks. “Lines such as ‘All my friends are strong, I’ll never be like them’ strike a nerve, drawing on the danger of measuring oneself against others.”

“‘ifailme’ is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own failures. The song’s explosive finale is more than just a musical crescendo - it’s a cathartic release of angst & self-doubt”, Sparks continues.

Mixing aggression with cinematic sound score & sound design, the fast rising post-hardcore band, Reckoner, released their debut EP ‘I Am What You Will Become’ to raving reviews. Support from tastemakers at BBC Radio 1 and Spotify earned the band early recognition in the UK alternative scene.

Known for their raw, high-energy live shows, Reckoner were quick to play festival main stages & jump on shows with acts such as Heart Of A Coward and The Five Hundred. With ‘The Emergence Tour’ set for March 2025, they continue to build momentum as one of the scene’s most promising new acts.
