Tenacity. It’s something that describes the talented Brandon Elgar. No matter the scenario, he’s ready to take advantage of any opportunity, even if it means transitioning into the main vocalist for a band that’s trending on the rise. The frontman of Jersey-based post-hardcore outfit Palisades talks about his long journey within the band that has been through trials, tribulations, losses, and victories. The band has also seen lineup changes throughout the years, which, at the same time, included performing at notable festivals such as Download, Rock Am Ring, and the upcoming So What?! Festival in Dallas, TX. The biggest change, however, is when the previous vocalist Lou Miceli left the band which opened the door for Brandon to take center stage (literally). Previously the band’s bassist, Brandon mentions how the chemistry has always been the same regardless of losing a band member. It proves an example of how tight he and his other bandmates have kept their musicality. The new version of Palisades is not only the most mature offering the band is putting on display but also the most complete. The new album, “Reaching Hypercritical,” is a chapter that is shaping up to be the best yet. The past few years have changed them as people, but also have changed what Palisades’ music has stood for, and for the better. The themes of the new record touch on mental health, anxiety, and dissociative disorders. At a time like today, it will strike a chord of positivity in the fans and listeners. Brandon has been thankful of his experiences and couldn’t be more appreciative to continue composing the music he loves so much. Tune in now to our interview with Brandon, and be sure to buy and stream “Reaching Hypercritical”, due out July 22 via Rise Records.
