Houston emo band Hew have announced their new single “Reconciliation,” offering another glimpse into their debut LP Your Version, due out via Tiny Engines in summer 2026.

Formed in 2024 by Lindsay Minton (guitar, vocals) and Mercy Harper (Bass VI) of football, etc., Hew is completed by Amador “Moe” Lerma on drums and Kris Hoffman on bass. While unmistakably rooted in emo, Hew avoids nostalgia-driven revivalism, instead carving out a sharper and more deliberate sound built on tension, melodic weight, and dynamic interplay.

On “Reconciliation,” the band leans into the push and pull that defines their music. Bass and Bass VI weave between lead and low-end momentum while angular guitars cut through tightly wound rhythms, opening into expansive melodic hooks that set the band apart from Minton and Harper’s earlier work.

Lyrically, Hew explores the fractures left behind by family, memory, and unresolved contradictions. Rather than offering easy closure, “Reconciliation” sits inside the uneasy space between belief and doubt, past and present, asking what remains when memory and meaning no longer align.
