Charmer announce long awaited 3rd LP "Downpour" and drop lead single "Arrowhead"
Michigan emo band Charmer have just announced, "Downpour," their long awaited 3rd LP set for release on May 23, 2025 via Counter Intuitive Records. Blending influences from the late 90s and early 2000s Long Island emo-punk scene, to the melancholic vibes of The Cranberries and The Cure, with the midwestern emo revival punk sound that laid the original foundation for their sound, "Downpour" contains 11 new tracks, including the previously released "Rose Thorns". Lead ead single "Arrowhead" streaming below, captures the band's intense, cathartic and anthemic sound, drawing parallels to early Alkaline Trio, Title Fight, and Bayside. Hailing from Marquette, Michigan, Charmer's music reflects their surroundings and emotional depth, offering a mix of familiar tones and fresh perspectives for listeners. For full press release and latest video for the new single, see below.
Charmer share "Night" from highly anticipated 3rd LP "Downpour"
With just under a month until the release of their first full-length in five years, Charmer deliver "Night," a haunting snapshot of the human mind's limit when coping with heightened circumstances. Through its simmering verses, brooding riffs, and explosive, scream-along choruses, "Night" fuses the melodic intensity of Alkaline Trio and the dreamy atmosphere of The Cure into something instantly memorable and real. Stream the video for "Night" below.
Hailing from Michigan's rugged and isolated Upper Peninsula, Charmer has always been known for balancing melodic urgency with emotional depth, and Downpour is no exception. The album is a sonic reflection of the band's growth––a bit older, wiser, and more weathered but still searching for light in all this dark.
Throughout, vocalist/guitarist David Daignault reflects on life in the UP, a bittersweet pursuit of creativity, and healing from trauma in the wake of new parenthood. Joined by guitarist Neil Berg, bassist Zack Alworden, and drummer Nick Erickson, Daignault’s soul-stirring vocal performance leads the band across a record that combines passion and precision. Across its eleven tracks, Downpour captures both the intensity of their past and the bittersweet blank page ahead.
