One Step Closer Drop New “Orange Leaf” Single

One Step Closer are gearing up for their highly anticipated new full-length, All You Embrace, and today the Wilkes-Barre melodic hardcore heroes are back with another new single, Orange Leaf. Due out May 17th 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. Orange Leaf follows earlier singles Leap Years and Giant’s Despair and offers another glimpse of the band’s evolution. Packing plenty of post-hardcore bite and a soaring chorus, the track proves that One Step Closer are just as deft with melody as they are with aggression.

All You Embrace follows 2021’s This Place You Know and 2023’s Songs For The Willow which 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. The album finds One Step Closer exploring the sonic overlaps of hardcore, emo and ’90s alternative, resulting in the most ambitious songs they’ve ever written. 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 are touring nonstop in support of All You Embrace, their next round of shows sees them heading to the UK and EU, including an appearance at the Slam Dunk Festival.

“I wanted to showcase One Step Closer in it’s fullest state. 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.” (vocalist Ryan Savitski)
