MOVEMENTS: RUCKUS! Tour featuring Tigers Jaw, Webbed Wing, & Paerish PT 2.

In December 2023, Movements announced that the band would embark on Part 2 of the Ruckus! Tour. The tour will be supported by Tigers Jaw, Webbed Wing, and Paerish. Movements released Ruckus! in August 2023. If you enjoy a mix of pop-punk and grunge and love your heart getting mixed into an ocean of emotions, then this album is for you. When I saw this announcement, I was incredibly excited. I have grown to enjoy this band, and when I saw that they would be playing at the Water Street Music Hall, I knew this was a show I had to attend. I spent many nights at this venue enjoying great music in my younger years. As I stepped out of my husband's car, I could feel the excitement in the air and see the anticipation on the faces of fans eagerly waiting to rush into the venue to find the perfect spot. Slowly but surely, the venue began to fill up as the show was about to start. At first, it didn't look like it was going to be a sold-out show. However, as I started taking photos of Paerish, I realized that the venue was filling up much quicker than I had anticipated. I knew that the night was going to be amazing.

Paerish is a French alternative rock band based in Paris, formed in 2013. The band has 3 studio albums Semi Finalists (2016), Fixed It All (2021) and You're In Both Dreams (And You're Scared) (2023). In 2021, the band featured Patrick Miranda from Movements on the song “You & I”. The band is gaining popularity in this scene. The band went to Instagram and shared that they had reached 1 Million streams on Spotify for their new song “House of American Style” released in early 2023. During the show, Paerish caught my attention with their amazing performance. I was surprised to learn that this band had never played in America before. It was a great experience to witness a new band from France playing in America for the first time. They performed a mix of songs including “House Of American Style” and “Still There.” After their set, the band members spent some time at their merch booth. The singer even invited people to come and talk to them, despite their "shitty French accents".

Webbed Wing is a trio from “The City of Brotherly Love” aka Philadelphia, PA. Taylor Madison, Jake Clarke & Mike Paulshock make up Webbed Wing, they only have 2 studio albums Bike Ride Across The Moon & What’s So Fucking Funny? In February of 2023, they surprised their fans with a new EP release called Right After I Smoke This. I thought the performance of these guys was great. I particularly enjoyed watching the drummer get into the groove of the music. However, I feel like their set was a bit short and they could have given more to the fans. On the bright side, the singer, Taylor, was very interactive with the crowd.

Tigers Jaw is a rock band from Scranton, PA that formed back in 2005. The band got their influences from artists such as Fall Out Boy & My Chemical Romance. The band released 3 albums before announcing on Tumblr in 2013 that they were going on a hiatus, it lasted less than a year. The band made a comeback in 2014 releasing a new album called Charmer. Tigers Jaw was signed to Hopeless Records in 2020, they released a song called “Warn Me”, and they also released a song called “Cat’s Cradle” before releasing their latest studio album I Won't Care How You Remember Me (2021). I really enjoyed the performance by Tigers Jaw. The lead singer and guitarist Benjamin Walsh gave it his all, and you could see the passion in his performance. This band has now made it to my list of "Must Listen To" artists. They played around 10-12 songs, including "Never Wanted To," "Hum," and "Plane vs Tank vs Submarine".

Movements is a post-hardcore quartet from Rancho Santa Margarita California. The band consists of Patrick Miranda, Austin Cressey, Spencer York & Ira George, who debuted in 2015. Movements has 1 EP and 3 Studio albums to date, they released their latest album Ruckus! in the summer of 2023. I remember seeing them for the first time back in 2017 when they were on tour with Knuckle Puck, I was unsure if I enjoyed their music upon discovering them. Fast forward to 2018, I saw they were featured in an advertisement for Vans Warped Tour 2018 (check out our coverage from that show here). After hearing their song “Daylily” off their Feel Something album I knew these guys were a band I had to keep in my music rotation. Movement’s lyrics derive from anxiety, depression, heartbreak & tense relationships. In an interview with Jamie Orque; Patrick Miranda (Vocalist) states that their song “Deadly Dull” also off the Feel Something album is written about Alzheimer’s disease. This song hits home for me, when I was younger my great-grandmother had a stroke, couldn’t speak much and after a few years, we believe she was also dealing with dementia. As Movements took the stage, I was ready to take photos and enjoy the rest of the show. The band started strong by playing one of their new songs, "Lead Pipe". Throughout the night, the band had multiple crowd surfers, and the whole room was almost shaking from the excitement of the fans. Movements also played an older song called "Submerge". They played a variety of songs from all of their albums, making the setlist perfect. The band members were grateful and thanked the crowd for coming out to see them and for coming to see the other bands on the bill. Pat, the lead singer, said that he grew up going to Tigers Jaw shows and loved that they got to share the same stage. The night ended with Movements playing their most iconic song, "Daylily".

This show is one for the books, I hope you guys didn’t miss out on this one. I decided to stay until the end of the show and saw the joy on fans' faces as they left. There are only 10 dates left coming to a city near you! If you are a fan of Post-Hardcore music and getting thrown into a whirlwind of emotions check out Movements.

Review: MOVEMENTS - RUCKUS!

Movements’ is a post-hardcore band from Rancho Santa Margarita, California, comprising Patrick Miranda as the lead vocalist, Austin Cressey as the bassist, Spencer York as the drummer, and Ira George as the guitarist. They have been playing together since 2015 and have one EP and three studio albums currently streaming, along with several fun singles. The band's last album, No Good Left To Give, was released in 2020. Leading up to the release of their upcoming album Ruckus! in 2023, Movements released two new standalone singles the year before: "Barbed Wire Body" and "Cherry Thrill."

Movements' latest album, Feel Something, differs from their previous releases. The album is emotionally charged, with tracks like "Fever Dream" and "Deadly Dull" that tug at your heartstrings. Even the song "Nineteen" from their previous album, Outgrown Things, resonates with me. It speaks to the high expectations placed on young people as they grow up, with poignant lyrics like, "I know that happiness is stability, but stability is not a desk job, and I refuse to sacrifice my aspirations for an income and security."

Movements' lyrics often delve into themes of depression, anxiety, loss, and other struggles that the band members have experienced. However, their latest release, Ruckus!, takes a more upbeat approach, with tracks that evoke a sense of optimism and hope.

The album kicks off with the track "You're One Of Us Now". The guitar riff at the beginning of the song is captivating, and Pat Miranda's invitation to "take a seat" and "gather 'round" creates a sense of urgency and importance. The chorus, which goes "I gave my mind and gave my health, It looks like Heaven, feels like Hell, You chewed me up until you finally broke me down", speaks to the deeper meaning of the song. The band puts their heart and soul into the instrumentals, and the lyrics are incredibly catchy. I can't help but nod my head to the slap of the bass in "Killing Time", and the chorus "No one can love me like you do" sticks with me long after the song has ended. The album oscillates between themes of hopelessness and loyalty, making for a compelling listen overall.

"Lead Pipe" is a track from this album that stands out as being a little more intense than the others. It's followed by "Heaven Sent," another pop ballad that is more pleasant to listen to. I feel like this song deviates a bit from Movements' typical style, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's upbeat and enjoyable, and I appreciate that it offers something different from the usually melancholy songs they play. What I like most about "Heaven Sent" is that it tells a new story of being in love, something we haven't heard from Movements before.

"Tightrope" is the softest and saddest song on the album. Although the band is moving towards a more positive note, this song still maintains the band's tradition of creating melancholic music. It's a pop ballad that portrays vulnerability, self-doubt, and the pressure of meeting others' expectations.

“I Hope You Choke” is another favorite of this album. The guitar has a punchy and clear sound, the vocals are reminiscent of the previous albums, and the lyrics are on point. However, I think this song has the potential to be even better with a scream section, similar to the one in "Fail You". It has a tremendous amount of energy, but it is missing a strong and memorable ending. Nonetheless, it is still an exceptional song.

“A.M.P.” is a music track that is characterized by some funky and danceable grooves. This album saw the continuation of the style introduced in "Cherry Thrill," which is similar to both "A.M.P." and "Killing Time." The bass is emphasized in the former, while the latter showcases crisp guitar chords. This track has some of the most intriguing lyrics that evoke mixed emotions of confusion, enchantment, and annoyance. Patrick, the singer, summarizes these feelings by singing the line "You wear attention like it's perfume" & “Nobody knows you but they want to, You know they want you.”

The album ends with two tracks: "Dance With Death" and "Coeur D'Alene”. "Dance With Death" is great, but the guitars sometimes overpower the vocals. The lyrics are impactful and remind me of the heavy topics covered in earlier releases. Although the guitar sounds fantastic, I wish the vocals were more audible during the chorus to help me connect better with the song. "Coeur D'Alene" is the final song on the album. While I enjoyed it, I think Movements could have used a punchier ending to Ruckus!

However, "Coeur D'Alene" does complement the previous track "Tightrope" nicely. The lyrics tell the story of spending time with a loved one and making a vow to stay by their side. It feels like a continuation of the slow ballad we saw in previous albums like “Losing Fight” on Outgrown Things.

Movements’ is a band that has gradually climbed up my list of top five must-listen artists. Circle back in April to find out if we managed to catch their performance while they were in town!
