Portsmouth, UK based post-hardcore/metalcore band Acres have scored a deal with Solid State Records/Tooth & Nail Records. The group have newly released a video for their single ‘A Different Shade Of Misery‘, which was produced by Landon Tewers of gold-certified post-hardcore band The Plot In You.

Acres vocalist Ben Lumber commented:

“Lyrically this song is about regaining control of yourself and confronting your demons. I wrote this when I was at a really low point and I’d often sit there thinking, ‘Man, you need to snap out of this.’ At one point, I felt like my own worst enemy and I was fighting a war inside my own head. It’s a really special song because, musically, it’s a new direction and the start of a new era for our band. We’ve always aimed to reinvent ourselves with every release and this was one of those songs that just naturally came to us.”

The band will be joining up with Holding Absence, Capstan and Casey on the below North American tour in a few days time.
