Münster Germany– Emo punk/hardcore outfit SHORELINE have released an acoustic version of their single ‘Seoul’. Speaking about the acoustic version of the single singer Hansol Seung said, “When we played the album release tour for TO FIGURE OUT, it was such an amazing and healing experience to see so many kids come out to our shows, and how many of them shouted the words of SEOUL back at us. There’s a bunch of people out there, who are not asian-american or asian-european, who still connected to the song a lot, because they too struggled with their identity and self-confidence growing up.” Watch the video for ‘Seoul (Acoustic) HERE or by clicking the image below. 
The single is taken from the recent album ‘To Figure Out’ which came out earlier this yeat via Pure Noise Records. Listen to the record in full – HERE. Deeply rooted in the DIY hardcore/punk scene, SHORELINE gained a reputation as a rousing live band after countless shows in squats, rehearsal rooms and basement clubs all over the European continent, so that they quickly found themselves opening for scene legends like Basement, Silverstein, Spanish Love Songs or Hot Water Music. Album, To Figure Out continues to reflect on heavy political topics such as the climate crisis and animal rights but also touches very personal topics, difficult friendships and love songs. Produced by Chris Teti at Silverbullet Studios Burlington, CT (among others Anxious, Fiddlehead, The World is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die…) Shoreline not only seamlessly continue their musical originality, but also created their best-sounding record in their career. Seung (singer) started his journey of self-awareness and empowerment as an Asian-german with the previous record, beginning with an angry bite back towards the racism he experienced growing up in Germany. With more and more BIPOC showing up at the bands shows, connecting with Asian kids all over the world and sharing experiences, Seung continues the process of self-acceptance and unlearning internalised stereotypes on the new record. The record also features long-time friend of the band Chris Cresswell (The Flatliners, Hot Water Music) on the track “Workaround”, completing the sonic aesthetic of the project: respecting and paying tribute to the roots in classic punkrock, but also stepping forward into a new, modern take of the genre.
