Passion fuels innovation and the passion burns like a roaring fire within the San Antonio-based quartet Finding September. Their high-octane alternative/pop punk fusion is on full display with the release of their latest in-your-face single, “Fools Gold.” The song debuted early via Idobi Radio.
The track’s lyrics were penned over a year ago, but it wasn’t until recently that frontwoman Emily Bayardo felt she was in the right headspace to deliver the words. “The song was written when I was in a semi-depressive state,” says Bayardo. “I was in a very toxic relationship where I was so conflicted between leaving and staying. Part of me was so caught up in the past and wanted to leave, but I continued to cling to the memories. The other part of me was ready to move on and start living for myself. The song is describing that internal struggle I endured.“
The track creeps in like a pair of footsteps before it kicks down the door with loud guitars and a feisty beat. As the song picks up, you can almost imagine someone in a dark bedroom, manically stripping down photos and memories from their walls and readying themselves for a cathartic new beginning.
Finding September began creating their pop-thrashing sound in 2018 with the release of their debut EP History. The record featured a myriad of influences and sounds ranging from pop, punk, R&B, metal and beyond, laying the groundwork for what’s to come next. The tight-knit group is rounded out by the speedy drumming of Jayden Mermella, the versatile guitar work of Josh Gomez, and the four string thunder of bassist Graham Butler.
