Today, hardcore-punk band Restraining Order have shared their new single “Another Better Day.” The song has an uplifting message delivered by Patrick Cozens in-your-face vocal delivery, and packs some seriously bouncy guitar work. The slow-mo style video for the track was shot and directed by Ben Clinton and can be viewed here now.
Speaking on the track, vocalist Cozens states:
“We can move on from the past, but the present still takes its own toll. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel but you’re just not there yet. And it’s so close. Life always has its way of trying to bring you down, but we all made it this far. I believe things will get better over time. Just keep looking towards that better day.”
“Another Better Day” is the second single, following “Misled,” from Restraining Order’s upcoming sophomore album Locked In Time set for release July 21st on Triple B Records. Following 2019’s This World Is Too Much, the band are taking the energy and style that made their debut album an instant hardcore classic and bringing in a present-day approach while looking towards the future.
The writing and recording process for Locked In Time was expansive, beginning in fall 2019 and completed in late 2022. With drummer Will Hirst at the helm of recording and production, it allowed the band to focus on the nuances and build upon a diverse sonic palette. At the surface, Locked in Time is very much a hardcore record, but it also dabbles with garage, psychedelia and other classic rock influences. Melody and hooks lay alongside the speed and chaos. Ambitious song structures are highlighted by seamless transitions. It’s a record meant just as much to connect with as it is for dancing in the pit, which makes sense for a band on tour nearly nonstop. And Restraining Order have a packed summer ahead.
Restraining Order is in the midst of the Triple B Takeover tour in Europe alongside No Pressure, Sunami, Pain of Truth, and C4. After a brief respite, Restraining Order will head to The Rumble in Chicago and Sound and Fury in Los Angeles. The band has just announced three East Coast record release shows in August alongside Candy Apple, followed by a weekend with Mindforce, Simulakra, and Scarab. The fall already has a Brooklyn, NY show with Gorilla Biscuits on September 9th, The Fest in Florida, and Flyover Fest in Oklahoma on the docket with more the be announced.
