Four piece metalcore outfit from Harrisburg, PA, If Not For Me, delivers their own brand of catchy choruses, driving riffs and hard-hitting breakdowns with an explosive live performance to match. While the band has an enticing fire lit underneath them, relatability is an important element to include. “I like to write about things that are going on around me in the world. If someone can relate to the things that we’re saying, that’s the best part of it.” Lead vocalist Patrick Glover says about their writing process.
If Not For Me has cemented themselves as a fan favorite staple in the emerging metalcore scene. They’ve drawn inspiration from a range of metalcore and post-hardcore influences, including bands like August Burns Red, Killswitch Engage and Bring Me the Horizon. They also incorporate pop and melodic rock into their sound.
If Not For Me released their powerhouse Thriller Records Debut record, Everything You Wanted on March 29. “A lot of the songs are directed at me and a lot of the songs are directed to other people.” Says Glover about the upcoming album. “We knew with this album we had to push further than we ever have before.”
With their unyielding commitment to their craft and their explosive live shows, If Not For Me are poised to become one of metalcore’s brightest rising stars. Everything You Wanted has achieved Billboard #6 – Current Hard Rock Albums, #21 – Top New Artists, #35 – Current Rock Albums, and #36 – Independent Label Albums.
