Massachusetts hardcore band Vantage Point have announced their debut full-length, Against Myself, set for release November 10th on Triple B Records. The straight edge band has created nine urgent songs focused on forgiving and accepting yourself. Single “A Reminder,” out now, is a nudge to not give up, and look toward what tomorrow brings. The track races through punchy drums, swift guitars, and a vocal delivery that is begging to be shouted along with.
First formed in 2016, Vantage Point has released three EPs, with the latest, An Answer You Won’t Find, released in October 2019 on Triple B. The band is a staple of the Boston hardcore scene and shares members with a number of acts including C4, Chaos Cross, and Final Gasp. Taking inspiration from bands like Inside Out, Turning Point, and Burn, the band play loud and direct, seamlessly able to move from hard, fast tracks to slow and anthemic songs. On Against Myself, Vantage Point have created an upfront album that takes a reflective look at one’s choices and how you steer your life. The record was recorded, mixed and mastered by Will Hirst (Restraining Order) at Gate 4 Studio in Springfield, MA. with vocals recorded by Matt Neville in Weymouth, MA.
Vantage Point is Russell Campot (vocals), Sean Rose (drums), Owen Viles (bass), Doug Ostroskey (guitar).
