Causing A Ruckus With PATRICK MIRANDA From MOVEMENTS

Interview by Erin Eddy
If you’re some kind of sonic Marie Kondo and like tucking bands
away into clearly labelled musical genre boxes, you’re going to
have a hard time with Movements.
The Californian four-piece glides between musical genres in a way
that could potentially lead you to dismiss them on first listen,
that is of course, if your first listen hits on a style that may
not exactly be your glass of whiskey.
“I do think that we are, in my opinion, a ‘live’ band,” Movements
vocalist Patrick Miranda told
HEAVY, “and I think in many cases, maybe if you don’t like the
band, once you see it live you’re like ‘ohhh, okay, I get it’, you
know? I think Movements is definitely that sort of band for a lot
of people.”
Movements sway between indie rock, post-hardcore, emo, pop rock and
their mission is to not box themselves in to any one style.
“I love the fluidity that we have as a band, and I hope that
continues to grow because I think there’s something on this album
for everybody. If there’s one community of music listeners who
enjoy even one song we make, then that’s a win for me,” Patrick
states. “We just want the music to reach as many people as
possible. All we don’t want is to be put into a box.”
Movements are geared up for the release of their third studio
album, Ruckus, which will be available on August 18.
“The energy and overall feeling of this record is so fun and
youthful and exciting, and it makes me so happy that I know that
when it comes to playing these songs live it’s just going to feel
even better,” Patrick gleams.
HEAVY spent time talking with Patrick about being in Movements and
the ins and outs of their new album, Ruckus, so check out the full
