Solid State and Tooth & Nail have officially added another powerhouse to their family with the signing of Save Us, a band that’s clearly not here to play it safe. To mark the occasion, the group has unleashed a brand new single and video, “Bruised,” and it’s a total knockout.

The track is raw, emotional, and heavy in all the right ways. It opens with tense, atmospheric guitars before exploding into pure chaos — thick riffs, pounding drums, and vocals that sound like they’re clawing their way through pain just to be heard. “Bruised” feels like the moment where everything boils over and you finally let it all out.

Save Us capture something honest here. The lyrics dig deep into the weight of self-doubt, anger, and recovery, but instead of wallowing, the band turns it into a release. It’s aggressive and cathartic, with a melodic streak that makes every line stick. There’s no overproduction, no gloss, just pure energy and conviction.

The video mirrors that perfectly — dark, moody, and direct. You can feel every ounce of frustration and emotion bleeding through the screen. It’s the kind of debut that doesn’t just introduce a new band; it makes a statement.

For fans of the heavier side of Tooth & Nail’s legacy, this signing makes perfect sense. Save Us fit right alongside bands like Underoath, Silent Planet, and Fit For A King — groups that balance intensity with heart.

“Bruised” proves Save Us are the real deal. They’re not trying to imitate anyone; they’re carving out their own space in the scene and doing it with conviction.

“Bruised” is out now on all streaming platforms via Solid State / Tooth & Nail Records. Watch the video and get ready — Save Us are coming in swinging.
