In anticipation of their forthcoming self-tiled album, melodic hardcore up-and-comers Being As An Ocean have just dropped their album’s opening track, “Little Richie.”
The album, which was produced by Matthew McClellan at Glow In The Dark Studios, is set to be released June 30 via InVouge Records.
When asked about the lead single “Little Richie,” BAAO frontman Joel Quartuccio explained that the new song was written about his longtime friend and the struggles he had growing up.
“Little Richie is a song that was inspired by the story of my personal friend and pastor, Rich McCullen,” says Quartuccio. “Rich grew up in an extremely abusive household and yet still grew up to forgive his abuser and strives to live a life of love and compassion.”
