Cascades Drop New Single And Video “in moments”

Los Angeles-based alternative rock quartet Cascades have released their debut single and video, “in moments,” offering the first glimpse into their upcoming EP “liminality,” due September 25 via Many Hats Endeavors. Blending post-hardcore intensity, shoegaze atmosphere, and alternative rock melody, Cascades arrive with a sound that is both expansive and deeply personal.

Featuring Jeremy Hernandez (guitar, vocals), Bobby Kay (bass), Jenna Terranova (drums), and Shane Burns (lead guitar), Cascades craft songs that move seamlessly between vulnerability and aggression, atmosphere and impact.

Fans of Thrice, Deftones, and Circa Survive will find plenty to connect with in the band’s approach.

“It’s heavy until it isn’t. It’s quiet until it isn’t. And that’s kind of the whole point,” says bassist Bobby Kay.

While the members bring decades of collective experience to the project, Cascades is less a continuation of past endeavors than the start of something new. Hernandez is known for his work with Fearless Records bands Big Wig and Near Miss, while Kay previously recorded as a Universal Republic artist, shared stages with artists including The Roots and Bleachers, and currently tours with Interscope artist Lady Radiator. With punk-inspired Terranova anchoring the songs’ momentum and Burns weaving layers of expressive leads throughout, Cascades has forged a chemistry that feels collaborative and intentional.

“It’s been exciting to reconnect with Jeremy and then to meet Jenna and Shane to create this,” says Kay. “It just feels like it’s the right timing, but it doesn’t feel like a coincidence.”

Recorded with veteran producer Steve Kravac and mixed and mastered by John Naclerio at Nada Studios, “liminality” captures the band’s dynamic intensity and emotional depth in a sound that is raw, immediate, and cinematic.

The five-song EP explores the transitional spaces that define personal growth and change. Rather than focusing on resolution, “liminality” examines the uncertainty between endings and beginnings—the place where one version of yourself is fading before another has fully emerged.

“The song and the whole EP are really about the space you occupy where one version of you is ending before a new one emerges,” explains Hernandez. “It’s not about the light at the end of the tunnel. It is the tunnel. It’s not really about the darkness—it’s more about what you notice when your eyes finally adjust to it.”

As the EP’s opening statement, “in moments” introduces those themes while showcasing the band’s balance of crushing guitars, soaring melodies, and deeply personal songwriting. The result is a debut that hits with force while lingering long after the final note fades.

With “in moments,” Cascades introduce themselves with a song that embraces uncertainty and transformation. It sets the stage for “liminality” and establishes the band as a compelling new voice in modern alternative music.

“in moments” is out today. “liminality” follows September 25 via Many Hats Endeavors.
