Buffalo, New York’s melodic punk three-piece On The Cinder have shared their latest single, ‘Smells Like American Spirit’. The song is the lead single off the band’s third full-length LP, ‘Heavy-Handed,’ set for release on May 7th on the band’s own label, Flower House Records. Check out the song below or on your streaming service of choice.
"‘Smells Like American Spirit’ is all about the DIY house show culture we've developed around our band, playing basements and throwing our own shows in Buffalo for over 10 years now," says the band about the new song.
In 2013, three roommates at the Flower House in Buffalo, NY took up the torch of the DIY punk rock legacy and formed On The Cinder. Jason, Tyler, and Mike combine a hard nosed work ethic for touring and releasing music with a focus on sincerity in their lyrics and a complexity in song structure. With several national tours and various excursions through Canada, On The Cinder have claimed the road dog status, while keeping an eye on things in western New York by hosting and promoting local shows in Buffalo and Rochester, NY.
On The Cinder released their debut full length LP The Fight Against Ourselves through Pittsburgh’s Between The Days Records in 2016, followed by a second full length titled Lamplighter in 2019 and the 2021 EP Sedentary Escape (both through their independent label Flower House Records). On The Cinder has opened for such national acts as The Menzingers, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Face To Face, Authority Zero, A Wilhelm Scream, Off With Their Heads, and many more. OTC has also made appearances on The Fest, Pouzza Fest, Camp Punksylvania, Van's Warped Tour, and Midwest Punk Fest.
