Review

Movements, the dynamic quartet from Orange County, delivered a sonic wave with their third album, "RUCKUS!" in 2023. Infusing their music with a blend of shoegaze, pop-punk, and grunge, the band confidently steps into new territory while maintaining their emotional core. The album takes listeners through a vivid narrative that taps into themes of adversity, resilience, and the multifaceted nature of relationships, painting a picture of struggle and growth that resonates with audiences.

The band kicks off the album with an arresting guitar riff on "You're One of Us Now," setting a high bar for the tracks to follow. From the infectious rhythms of "A.M.P." to the ethereal tones of "Heaven Sent," and the sharp-edged humor of "I Hope You Choke!," Movements deliver a compelling assortment of songs. The album rounds off with the introspective "Coeur D'Alene," which offers a glimpse into the band's more reflective side. "RUCKUS!" cements Movements' status not just as a key player in the post-hardcore genre but also as a band that's unafraid to push the boundaries and evolve their sound within the emo revival movement. - Karl
