Born out of a time that saw Pinkshift deepening their relationships with themselves, each other, and nature, their second album Earthkeeper is a testament to resilience and connection. The Baltimore-based trio’s growth is on full display throughout the twelve tracks as they wade into heavier and more experimental musical territory, infusing their urgent punk sound with elements from hardcore, post-hardcore, and metal. Along with highlighting the range of the band members, this heavier direction also complements the lyrics perfectly as they take an unflinching look at the current state of the world, climate change, and the interconnected nature of life on this planet. The story they are telling is ultimately one of hope, serving as a reminder that a better world is possible when we stand up and fight for what we believe in. Earthkeeper is available everywhere now via Hopeless Records. You can order a copy here or here. Pinkshift will be touring the US and Toronto in the fall and will be supporting Grandson on three of their European dates in the winter.
