Leap Day only comes around once every four years, but this one marks an even more special occasion: the return of One Step Closer! Today, the Pennsylvanian melodic hardcore heroes are back with their fitting new single 'Leap Years' and the announcement of their highly anticipated album, All You Embrace, due for release on 17th May via Run For Cover Records.

All You Embrace boldly expands the scope of One Step Closer's sound, offering their most anthemic and passionate work to date.

The album follows 2021's This Place You Know and 2023's Songs For The Willow, releases that drew attention from the likes of Pitchfork, Stereogum, Revolver Magazine, The FADER, Brooklyn Vegan, NPR, SPIN, FLOOD Magazine, and more, and catapulted One Step Closer into the ranks of the most exciting new bands coming out of hardcore.

All You Embrace makes good on all of that potential, leaning into the most melodic elements of the band's sound without sacrificing an ounce of energy. Today, One Step Closer share the album's lead single 'Leap Years', a blast of ultra-anthemic punk that perfectly bridges the fury of their early work and the unabashed melody of their latest chapter.

All You Embrace finds One Step Closer exploring the sonic overlaps of hardcore, emo, '90s alternative and more - resulting in the most ambitious songs they've ever written. Produced/engineered by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Koyo, Drain, Regulate), the record sounds truly gigantic, like a widescreen, technicolour version of One Step Closer's biting sound.

“I wanted to showcase One Step Closer in its fullest state,” explains vocalist Ryan Savitski. “Every single part of the band, I wanted it to be there. I wanted us to be 100% ourselves and be as authentic to our band as we could possibly be.” And All You Embrace is certainly imbued with that sense of identity, a testament to knowing who you are in a world of uncertainties, and a powerful new era for One Step Closer.

The band will also be continuing their non-stop touring ways in support of All You Embrace. Today marks the start of One Step Closer's North American co-headlining tour with Koyo and Anxious, and in May the band will be heading to the UK for Slam Dunk Festival.
