Southern California’s post-hardcore stalwarts MOVEMENTS will unleash their fourth album Happier Now on 4th September 2026 via Fearless Records. In the lead up, they are sharing another new song, this time in the form of “Live By the Sword.”
“Live by the Sword” is a sonically frantic exercise, with hushed vocal chants and guitar-forward motion. The song’s thrust is powered by the mid-tempo tension that has become such a definitive hallmark of Movements’ sound. It clangs, it clatters, and it’s everything that fans of the band and this genre know and love about Movements.
