Calgary pop-punk outfit Only The Strong have released their new single ‘Picking Up The Pieces’ and an accompanying lyric video.
The track was written about recovering from a toxic situation, despite this, the track shines bright with catchy lyrics, just enough 2000s angsty easycore harshness, and a bounce that screams pop-punk gold.
“Picking Up The Pieces is about recovering from a toxic situation. I reached a point in my life where I realized that the people I cared deeply about did not feel the same way towards me and I had two choices.” Vocalist Mason Brooks says. “I could try and fight back against the people that were causing me pain knowing full well that it wouldn’t affect them, or I could say what I want to say, whether they listen or not, and walk away and take back the pieces of me that they stole.”
