“Raw energy and catchy hooks, this is sure to stick in your head in an instant. Keep an eye out for For The Win” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS “’Heavy Thoughts’ is good, familiar fun, one to add to the collection” - ROCK SOUND “Expect 2017 to be For The Win’s breakthrough year - HIGHWIRE DAZE “Crash And Burn” Music Video “Dancing Shoes” Music Video A FOR THE WIN show is like going to a baseball game - you know you’re going to have a good time, but you know you may get hit in the face without warning. Their “sweat-soaked, pit-ready punk and metalcore,” as described by Alternative Press, will have you paying attention right off the bat. Hailing from ‘America’s Finest City,’ the San Diego five-piece first came into motion in late 2010, claiming their name from watching America’s favorite pastime. “It may sound cliché but it’s a commonly used phrase in sports and it was fitting for our style of music. We are a team, and a team does not step up to the spotlight to fail,” remarks vocalist Kyle Christensen. He adds, “Hell, Giovanni (Suarez, bass) and I have played baseball together since we were six years old.” After a couple of line-up changes of other San Diego music scene friends, FOR THE WIN cemented their line-up with drummer Omar Nieto and guitarists Lee Chambers and Matt Jimenez. Although FOR THE WIN signed with Artery Records in 2014, the band caught the attention of Victory Records in 2017 and a deal was renegotiated for their latest album, Heavy Thoughts, set for release on August 25, 2017. “Us Versus Them” kicks off the album with its immediate callout, ‘This is a song for the beaten and broken!’ and tempers FOR THE WIN’s aggressive guitar driven pop and tuneful melodies. Written by Christensen and guitarist Lee Chambers, Heavy Thoughts is a collection of forward thinking, dynamic songs that are infectious as they are innovative. Christensen adds, “Lee was in school and I was working fulltime, but we would get together nearly every day and spend countless hours writing. Even though each of us came in with our own full songs, we always collaborated to make sure every song has a little bit of both of us in it. Our live show was always in the back of our mind, so it was important to keep that stripped down, raw edge to the songs.
