Would you be down to fall into the darkness together?
From somewhere deep within the ever-shifting sands of the emo/pop punk landscape, Mascots emerged as torchbearers of the modern-day emo/pop punk spirit.
Formed in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the fall of 2014, they’ve impressively evolved from a passion project among friends into a formidable force in the music scene. As these talented musicians continue to dazzle with each new release, you’ll want to watch their careers closely; you won’t want to miss this ascent.
Despite facing challenges ranging from lineup changes to a global pandemic, Mascots have persevered, emerging stronger and more determined than ever. With their current lineup—comprising Jakob Fox, Robert Coyle, Alex Stewart, and Chase Nichols—Mascots are poised to carve out their own unique space in the musical landscape, blending influences and genres to create something truly distinctive. With an already impressive discography that includes timeless hits like “Time to Time” and “Altruistic”, Mascot seems to be well on their way to cementing their impressive legacy.
“Slipping In The Dark” is an encapsulation of everything that makes Mascot great. The instrumental performance evokes a keen sense of nostalgia and brings you back to the emo-punk rock golden years, and Mascot combines this with an impassioned vocal performance that’s simply impossible not to be enamored by. “Grab my hands, guide me out / Don’t let me slip through your fingers now,” they sing out, watching a love they cherished flame out before their very eyes. Love is perhaps the most common theme throughout the countless releases put out every day, but on “Slipping in the Dark,” Mascot has definitely done the concept justice.
As Mascots set their sights on becoming a staple in their scene, audiences can expect to be swept off their feet by the band’s boldness and creative vision. Whenever you’re ready, tap in and stream Mascot’s new release, “Slipping In The Dark,” out now on all majour streaming platforms.
