Heavy Seas – If Only I

Chicago’s punk‑emo trio Heavy Seas have just released “If Only I”, the first single and video from their upcoming album By Degrees, set for July 11 on Creep Records. Produced and anchored by J. Robbins (Jawbox), alongside Ronnie Dicola and Jeff Dean, the track balances emotional weight with tight, driving energy.

Blending melancholic vocals with punchy guitars and rhythm, the song captures themes of loss, change, and the struggle to move on—all delivered within a crisp punk‑emo framework that nods to Chicago’s sonic lineage  .

If you dig emotionally sharp music that still hits hard, “If Only I” is the start of a promising new chapter for Heavy Seas.
