After their 2013 Winter release of Starlight, the band shifted gears and added a touch of experimental to their already full sound with producer Matt McClellan (The Overseer, My Epic). Reminiscent of The Receiving End of Sirens meets Circa Survive, The Orphan, The Poet released a brand new single/music video “Better Than This” with CRAVEOnline.
“Better Than This” is about the moment you realize you are selling yourself short. Frontman David Eselgroth elaborated by saying it’s, “realizing you’ve let yourself become someone that you’re not isn’t really a positive topic, but I still see the song as a positive influence since it takes these moments of clarity to move forward.”
