Hailing from Buffalo, NY, alternative punk outfit On The Cinder are preparing for the release of their latest full-length album, Sedentary Escape, out October 8 through Flower House Records.
Listen to New Noise’s exclusive premiere of Sedentary Escape below:
Sedentary Escape pairs the band’s fierce, high-powered romp with intense passion and pop sensibilities. With lyrics ranging from celebration and victory to heartbreak and anguish, bassist/vocalist Mike Jacobs, guitarist/vocalist Jason Wright, and drummer Tyler Rzemek have crafted an ambitious concept album about breaking away from a mundane and miserable life with the aid of escapist media.
The songs on Sedentary Escape oscillate between that of the narrator’s real-life experiences and the character version of the protagonist as they dive deeper into fantasy and fiction.
On the creative process behind their newest LP, the band state:
“We were writing our third LP when the pandemic hit and the Great Pause began. And like everything else, we put the album on hold to write a new project that was tonally dynamic and to express a more complicated narrative than we’ve tried before.
The three of us committed to a writing exercise that saw lyrical content coming from each of us and some bizarre musical references to make a diverse batch of songs that tell a cohesive story that is meant to be played straight through. The whiteboard in the practice space was a disaster. There were meticulous arguments over word choices. But, we took the time to challenge ourselves to be more personal in ways we’d never been comfortable enough to do before.”
