Transcontinental trio Save Us – Miguel Owls, Chris Biddiscombe and Benji Havercroft – will release their new album “Death To Something” on October 16 via Solid State Records and Produced by Landon Tewers.
It’s a lush, vocal-forward track that cycles masterfully through a course of quiet-loud dynamics. Strap yourself in; this one’s an emotional thrill ride that will connect with fans of Deftones, Loathe, and Dayseeker. “‘Last of Me’ was an emotional challenge for me” explains Owls “I had so much I wanted to say, but I really pushed to keep it clear and honest without feeling wordy or cheesy. It’s about finally breaking free from a toxic relationship and recognizing the grip it had on you for so long. There’s a lot of weight behind that realization, but also a sense of release. I truly hope this song helps people find the strength to let go, move forward, and start healing”.
The origin story of Save Us and how the globally-based band came together is quite simple. Back in 2023, Owls was regularly posting covers on social media and quietly cultivating a following online. Hailing from the Central Valley of California, he never expected to find his future bandmates in his DMs. Bristol, UK-based Biddiscombe stumbled upon one of the vocalist’s Architects covers and sent a message on TikTok. Clicking right away, they commenced creating music (despite over 5,000 miles between them). Due to a factory day job from 1pm-9:30pm, Owls typically woke up at 5am in order to write with Chris and Benji before work. Prior to meeting in-person, the trio had remotely recorded a few tracks. Eventually, the singer crossed the pond to shoot the visual for “Distance” from their “LUCID EP”. Reacting with listeners, the track clocked north of 2.6 million Spotify streams. The group maintained their momentum with 2024’s “EXIST EP”. A year later, they inked a deal with Solid State and decamped to Michigan where they recorded with sought-after producer and The Plot In You mastermind Landon Tewers.
Ultimately, the band’s name reflects their shared experience: “Chris and Benji were both ready to stop doing music” Owls reveals “I was in the same boat. We were all on the edge of letting our dreams go. Out of nowhere, we found each other, went all the way in together, and the band genuinely saved us. We’re always dabbling in emotion, so our goal is to reach you on a human level”.
Mission accomplished on “Death To Something”, which in all actuality, brought the band members back to life.
