Broadside are back with their latest album Nowhere, At Last, out via Thriller Records, along with a video for the track “Dead Roses.”
The Richmond trio have never really stayed in one lane for long, but this one feels more inward than what they’ve done before. Nowhere, At Last sits in that uneasy, in-between headspace where you’re trying to make sense of things while also realizing there might not be a clear answer waiting for you. It doesn’t really try to solve that feeling either. It just lets it sit there.

There’s a noticeable shift in tone across the record. Earlier material carried more of that punchy, outward energy, while this one pulls things back. It’s quieter, but in a way that hits harder if you’re actually paying attention. A lot of it circles around identity, burnout, and that uncomfortable awareness that comes with recognizing your own patterns a little too clearly.
“Dead Roses” lands right in the middle of that. It leans into the tension instead of smoothing it over, sitting in that space where you know what’s holding you back but can’t quite move past it yet. It’s tense, self-aware, and a little frustrating in a way that feels intentional.
Oliver Baxxter shares,
"After the rage, eyes drowning and cheeks stained with tears, you find yourself in that same old conversation. Am I worthy of this life? Can I swim through the monotony? The other voice is already there–the familiar one, persistent, sounds like his, or hers. It tells you to stay still. Lie down. For the over thinker, the executioner is the stranger in the mirror."
That back-and-forth feeling runs through the whole album. Instead of pushing toward answers, the songs tend to sit inside the confusion a bit longer, circling the same thoughts from different angles until they either soften or stop demanding anything from you. Nothing really snaps into place at the end, and that’s part of what makes it stick.
Even in how it’s built, there’s a looseness to it. Nothing feels over-stacked or forced into shape. The songs don’t rush themselves, and that slower pace gives everything more room to linger. It ends up feeling closer to a snapshot of where the band is at right now rather than something trying to define them.
Broadside have been around long enough to move through different phases of sound and identity, and this record feels less like a reinvention and more like a pause to take stock. It’s not as immediate as some of their earlier work, but it stays with you longer because of that.
Alongside the album, the band also put out the video for “Dead Roses,” which stays close to the tone of the track without trying to spell anything out visually.
