Thousand Below

3 upcoming festivals

Post-hardcore that leans into the ache — glossy production over genuinely raw heartbreak, built for night drives after the show.

Thousand Below formed in San Diego in 2016 and released their debut album, The Love You Let Too Close, the following year through Rise Records. Their music sits at the melodic end of post-hardcore, pairing clean, layered choruses and electronic textures with screamed passages and metalcore-weighted guitars.

Lyrically the band works almost entirely in the register of failed relationships and self-doubt, and the production tends to foreground atmosphere as much as heaviness. They have continued releasing albums and singles in that vein and tour regularly in the North American heavy-music circuit.
