Trace Remains Redefines Post-Hardcore With Melodic Mayhem in “Sold My Soul”

Forget the mosh pits and screaming vocals you typically associate with post-hardcore. Trace Remains, a seasoned band with over two decades under their belt, is here to redefine the genre with their melodic take. Their sound isn't just about raw aggression; it's a captivating blend that throws in catchy hooks reminiscent of alternative and indie rock, all delivered with the raw energy of a post-punk band.

Composed of Joey Vesely (vocals/guitar), Joel Grimes (guitar), John Perry (guitar), Jon Rigatti (bass), and Jesse Tranfo (drums), Trace Remains is a group fueled by passion. Every performance is a testament to that, a full-throttle experience that leaves audiences exhilarated.

Their upcoming debut album, "Leverage the Tides," is poised to be a landmark release. The first single, "Sold My Soul," perfectly encapsulates their essence. Imagine a potent combination of heavy guitar riffs, a pulsating rhythm section, and lyrics that dig deep. Vesely's vocals are the cherry on top, adding another layer of intensity that makes the song a cathartic anthem for anyone grappling with past regrets. Thematically, "Sold My Soul" delves into the complexities of life's choices and the power of moving beyond mistakes. 

“‘Sold My Soul’ is about trade-offs and decision-making in life. Sometimes we reap what we sow, and we get it wrong, but our mistakes don’t have to define us. This music is in our blood. Every opportunity we have to take the stage or have your ear is a blessing, and we make sure we throw down with maximum energy.”
