ACRES
Acres process universal struggles, raw emotion, and life’s trials and tribulations through an unpredictable and undeniable hybrid of insurgently catchy melodies, neck-breaking grooves, and disarmingly seductive soundscapes. Audiences initially fell under the UK band’s spell in 2019 when they unveiled the fan favorite Lonely World. After grinding on the road, they made significant strides with 2023’s Burning Throne. “My Everything” reeled in 2.6 million Spotify streams followed by “Hold On” with another 2 million Spotify streams. KERRANG! applauded how, “Acres display their potential with some big choruses to match,” and WHEN THE HORN BLOWS hailed Burning Throne as “a classic metalcore album filled with swinging hooks, rough riffs, popping electronic elements and lovely vocals that turn into monster screams.” In 2025, the rapidly rising quartet—Ben Lumber, Alex Freeman, Jack Rogers, Ash Scott—rally around a spirit of sonic evolution on their third full-length album, The Host [Solid State]. Working with The Plot In You frontman Landon Tewers behind the board as producer, the band creatively level up as they deliver a caustic, catchy, and conceptual body of work primed to provoke thought and feeling in equal measure. This era begins with the single “Bloodlust” and much more to come.
