Los Angeles-based pop punk band In Her Own Words have released their poignant new single "96 Hours" via Thriller Records. Alongside the track, the band is debuting a visually captivating music video that intensifies the song's themes of heartbreak and loss, contributing to the emotionally charged catalog of their forthcoming EP, Left In The Dark, scheduled for release on November 15th.
"96 Hours" opens with a slower, evocative sound driven by delicate violin and soft guitar strums, creating an atmosphere ripe with introspection and vulnerability. This initial soundscape mirrors the emotional weight of the lyrics, inviting listeners into a reflective space. As the song progresses, the intensity builds with the addition of driving drums and powerful guitar riffs, bringing an explosive energy that underscores the heartache and turmoil at the core of the track.
Vocalist Joey Fleming describes the essence of "96 Hours," stating, “The song conveys deep sorrow over a sudden breakup, highlighting the struggle to reconcile cherished memories with the pain of loss. It explores feelings of regret and confusion, questioning the role played in the relationship's collapse while reflecting on dreams that now seem unattainable.” This deep emotional narrative is further amplified by the accompanying music video, which juxtaposes warm, nostalgic scenes with desolate imagery, capturing the empty spaces and shattered memories that echo the song's themes.
In Her Own Words is carving a unique path in the music industry. Their fusion of pop punk, alt rock, and emo reflects the full spectrum of human experience, embracing both the triumphs and struggles that define their artistic journey. Fleming and guitarist Andretti Almalel have experienced a profound sonic awakening, driven by a renewed sense of purpose that allows them to share their true selves through their music.
“This new era of the band feels like what I’ve been trying to accomplish since I joined,” Fleming reflects. “Andretti and I click on so many levels in the studio, and I feel like I’ve finally found my place as a songwriter. It’s finally translating into the music.” This evolution is evident in their recent release, “Beg For More,” where Fleming's powerful vocal delivery and Almalel’s masterful guitar riffs showcase the significant growth the band has achieved since its inception.
Looking ahead, In Her Own Words promises to explore new dimensions of their sound with Left In The Dark, their upcoming EP.
