Following months of anticipation, burgeoning Detroit pop-punk band UNWELL has released their eagerly awaited new album "Allegoria" today with Pure Noise Records. The thriving four-piece's 3rd album, featuring stand out singles 'Craven' , 'Miracle' and "Velvet Roses', delivers a infectious concoction of alt-rock. pop-punk and high energy hardcore for an emotionally charged record that transcends genre norms and blazes new trails.
With the record's release, UNWELL has revealed a brand new video for their song 'Plague'.
Commenting on the track, vocalist Matt Copley says: "‘Plague’ is about the aftermath—the way addiction doesn’t just vanish with sobriety. It lingers, like ashadow that keeps trying to pull you back under. This song is me facing the wreckage it left behind, theshame, the grief, and the person I barely recognize in the mirror. Recovery isn’t clean. It’s haunted. And ‘Plague’ is what it sounds like to fight for your life even after you’ve survived."
About UNWELL:
UNWELL’s music speaks equally to the barricade and the back row, balancing crushing emotion and buoyant theatricality – all rooted in a DIY ethos befitting of their Rust Belt hometown. On their Pure Noise debut "ALLEGORIA" the Detroit quartet meld muscular alt-rock, pop-punk vibrancy and propulsive hardcore into a multisensory escapist experience, dramatic storytelling that never loses sight of the rawest emotions. It’s a dichotomy that brings the album to life, melding quiet introspection with larger-than-life moments. It’s the sort of duality that helps UNWELL weave their way past well-worn genre tropes into a sound that’s all their own, one that’s brought the band rave reviews on live stages alongside the likes of The Used, The Amity Affliction and Bearings.
Allegoria’s setting, the mystic realm of the same name, is depicted in striking visuals throughout the album’s artwork with medieval futurism: Gothic castles, cascading waterfalls and opulent thrones under the vast expanse of the universe. All this world-building, both musical and visual, swirls to a synesthesic, cinematic story told in real time: not an escape from reality but rather a refracted version of it, where everyday pain and triumph are elevated to mythic proportions and grand ambitions reverberate amongst a starry sky. It’s a land of make-believe that’s helped UNWELL tell their truest stories as artists, carving out a space for even deeper exploration ahead and leaving the gates open for whatever comes next.
