Edmonton post-hardcore mainstays Calling All Captains have unveiled the official music video for their latest single, “Blood For Blood,” documenting a career-defining moment in their hometown. Filmed live during the sold-out Ten Second Epic reunion show at Union Hall, the video intentionally avoids polished production to capture the visceral energy of a packed room at full volume. Vocalist Luc Gauthier describes the release as the most honest way to represent the band’s current state, opting for the chaotic reality of stage dives and crowd participation over a scripted storyline. The track serves as a heavy-hitting preview of their upcoming seven-track EP, ‘The Things That I’ve Lost’, which is set to arrive on January 9, 2026, via New Damage Records.
Co-written with world-renowned songwriter Tom Denney (A Day to Remember, Pierce the Veil), “Blood For Blood” explores the internal conflict between a person and the “worst version” of themselves. The song blends the band’s melodic pop-punk roots with aggressive post-hardcore grit, recorded at The Audio Department with longtime collaborator Quinn Cyrankiewicz. Following the EP’s release, the quartet will celebrate with an intimate, sold-out album release show at Edmonton’s Temple at Starlite on January 10, 2026. As the band prepares to enter a new chapter, ‘The Things That I’ve Lost’ stands as a deeply personal exploration of burnout, identity, and resilience within the modern punk scene.
