Born and raised on solid hardcore foundations, over time the band has expanded its sonic spectrum, enriching it with new influences and a nostalgic aura that constantly contrasts with their raw, original essence.
"In Your Gaze" marks another step forward in this journey – an album that rejects easy categorization and reflects the courage and honesty with which 217 approach their music.
The new release promises to combine intensity and introspection, keeping hardcore energy as its beating heart while opening up to expressive solutions capable of surprising even their most devoted listeners. It’s a record that seeks to capture the complexity of emotions, shifting between anger and melancholy, showcasing the maturity of a band now ready to leave an even deeper mark on the scene.

The band comments:
"Straightforward old school hardcore wrapped in a dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere. As if bands like Floorpunch, Verse, and Cro-Mags blended their sound with the alternative feel of Pearl Jam and the gothic rock aura of Fields Of The Nephilim. This is a song about the fall and rise of two different people. It could be your story".
