Sinking In The latest single from Baltimore pop-punk band, STMNTS, called “Sinking In” is a passionate blend of styles similar to The Wonder Years, Bayside and the guitar-crunch of Four Year Strong. Formed in 2022, STMNTS consists of vocalist Liam King, rhythm guitarist Jamie Black, lead guitarist Drew Chiodo, bassist Josh Pelc, and drummer Shawn Smyth. The single was produced, mixed and mastered by Jeff McKinnon, with some additional production contributed by Evan Seeberger. STMNTS are coming off of the success of their well-received 2023 EP called Tendencies, and have released their second single since that last record came out with today’s “Sinking In.”
The song starts off cautiously with Liam King singing softly over a quietly played guitar, before launching into a comfortable groove in the verses and choruses that leave no doubt in the listeners’ minds that they are hearing something filled with the utmost confidence, even if the lyrics lean closer to the vulnerability we all experience at one time or another. As the single accelerates to the finish line, it’s hard to not think that STMNTS are still at the top of their game on “Sinking In.”
