One Step Closer 'All You Embrace'

With 'All You Embrace', One Step Closer open up their sound without losing an ounce of emotional weight. Drawing from hardcore, emo, and '90s alt-rock, the Wilkes-Barre band leans fully into their strengths—raw honesty, soaring melodies, and a fearlessness to evolve. From piano flourishes to expanded vocal dynamics, every creative leap feels earned, authentic, and deeply felt.

Recorded with producer Jon Markson and featuring contributions from Isaac Hale (Knocked Loose) and Mat Kerekes (Citizen), the album captures a band growing up in real time—grappling with change, loss, and connection across 11 heartfelt tracks. Whether channeling their melodic hardcore roots on “Blur My Memory” or exploring new textures on “The Gate” and “Leap Years”, 'All You Embrace' is bold, cathartic, and brimming with clarity. This is One Step Closer fully realized—unafraid to embrace everything they are and everything they’re becoming.
