Description

San Antonio based pop-punk/post-hardcore hybrid Across the Atlantic place themselves-as their name might imply- create energetic, intensely up-beat and emotionally poignant music that serves as a stellar testament to their dedication towards their craft. By taking a quick, punk-driven and poppy and adding ferocity by way of furious and aggressive hardcore influence. Works of Progress is the product of well over a year of hard work both on the road and in studio, and it shows. The sound of a band maturing and refining their sound without sacrificing youthful energy or exuberance, Works of Progress is fun throughout it’s entirety but not without moments of veritable introspection and emotional density. Across the Atlantic’s sophomore full-length release captures the brilliant diversity of their entire catalogue and condenses it, magnifying it through a contemporary lens and indulging in moments of intense aggression as well as heart-rending and soul-soothing segments of awe-inspiring serenity both. Building themselves up from the southern heat and humidity of San Antonio to adding energy, charisma and catchiness by the boatload to SharpTone Records in just over four years, Across the Atlantic’s history and dedication to fans of fun-yet-heavy music is magnificent-truly dwarfed only by how bright their future is.
