Movements have shared another new single, “Live By the Sword,” from their forthcoming fourth album Happier Now, due September 4 via Fearless Records.

The new track leans into the tense, guitar-driven side of the band’s sound, pairing hushed vocal chants with a frantic, clattering pulse and the mid-tempo tension that has become a hallmark of Movements. Along with that of course is another monster chorus that you'll want to scream along to. “Live By the Sword” follows previously released Happier Now singles including “Dissolve Me,” “Back in My Ways,” “Everything Is Fine,” and “Separate.”

Happier Now was produced once again by GRAMMY-winning producer Will Yip and finds Movements bringing elements of their earlier sound together with the direction they explored on 2023’s RUCKUS!.

Happier Now

September 4, 2026

Southern California post-hardcore band MOVEMENTS is releasing their new album "Happier Now" on September 4 via Fearless Records. The album showcases their signature blend of mathy riffs and forward-thinking melodies, with tracks like "Dissolve Me" and "Back in My Ways" offering a mix of tense riffs and emotive vocals that will resonate with fans of the genre . The band had an objective to bring in the early elements of their sound (Feel Something influence) and blend it with the newer material like [2023's] RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds. Produced by Will Yip, "Happier Now" marks a significant progression for the band, solidifying their position as influential figures in the post-hardcore scene.
