hen music can stir an emotion in you, you know it’s some-
Wthing special. When writing their fourth studio album, ‘Erase
The Pain’, New Jersey’s Palisades (made up of lead vocalist Louis

Miceli Jr., lead guitarist Xavier Adames, rhythm guitarist Matthew
Marshall, drummer Aaron Rosa and bassist and backing/co-head
vocalist Brandon Elgar) bled out so many emotions it’s a wonder they
were still breathing at the end. Whether it was opening up about de-
pression, anxiety, feeling forgotten or anger at others trying to

change you, ‘Erase The Pain’ was a cathartic and much-needed
album for the band that is 100% heartfelt, real and relatable. But,
just like erasing the pain, the making of the album was like a new

beginning; it refreshed and reinvigorated the members again.
