ONE STEP CLOSER Release “Jinx” Music Video

Melodic hardcore outfit One Step Closer have returned with a brand new single titled “Jinx”, marking their first release since 2024’s All You Embrace. The band took a hands-on approach with the song’s accompanying music video, directing it themselves ahead of their upcoming tour.

Guitarist Russ Thompson, who led the charge on the visual side of the project, shared the following about the experience:

“I was inspired by director Andrei Tarkovsky: come up with a strange concept and make it look pretty. My goal was that if you paused the video at any moment you could print it out and hang it on your wall. Just make a pretty video with my pretty friends. This was all done within two weeks.

Three days of filming (one day, one half day, then four hours) and then the rest was editing. I made the first rough draft in iMovie as the demo, then my friend Layne, who also shot it, translated everything into Premiere. This was a group effort and fun project to work on with all the homies.”
