_“Comes off as Hot Water Music meets The Replacements, it’s a punk tribute full 
of melody, emotion, and power.” – **New Noise**_

_“Sugary hooks of Doughboys and Samiam with punchy arrangements…– **No Echo**_

_“Emerging force in the punk/power-pop scene…” – **Puremzine**_

With decades of experience performing in bands throughout the Southern California
punk rock scene, the fivesome of **For Closure **are unquestionably seasoned musicians
who have racked up countless days in hundreds of studios and venues, recording dozens
of albums and touring across the country in their various projects.

However, For Closure itself is a relatively new venture for these veterans, launching
in 2023 and affording them the opportunity to present themselves as a clean-sheet
design, with fresh ideas and novel approaches to the music genres of power-pop and
punk rock that they’ve been performing for decades.

The band’s upcoming LP **‘Cliffside Serenades’** will be released on November 8 
via **Mindpower Records**.

One More Day

**_From vocalist Gizz Lazlo (former drummer of Dr. Know, U.K. Subs & The Freeze):_**
_“
One More Day” was originally written for an old friend I met while on tour with 
one of my former bands. When we were in Florida we met “Skinny” Eric Sanders and
this guy was one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. He had me laughing at the club
all night and then invited us back to his condo to spend the night so we didn’t 
have to spend money on a hotel. We remained close dear friends for many, many years._

_“Several years ago I was notified that he had passed away and when I spoke to his
mother to give my condolences I promised that one day I would honor him by writing
a song in his memory. I wrote the lyrics for a demo Luis and I had recorded with
our former band, For Sale. I sent the demo to his mother and I was happy that I 
could do that for her. _

_“A few years later when that former band was choosing songs for an upcoming EP 
we decided that this song would be the right choice to record. When we showed up
to the studio to record it, two of the members of the band didn’t show up so we 
ended up recording an acoustic version, which we dedicated to Luis’ mother who had
recently passed away. He and I played it at her memorial, then again when my lady
passed away not too long after. _

_“Fast-forward to when we were recording this album, Luis and I with the help of
Wal agreed to record it the way that it should’ve initially been recorded, as a 
full band. Now the song is dedicated to all our family and friends who have passed
way too soon. The song is about going to a show to see your favorite band and when
they’re playing that one song you love and you look around for your friend who you
know also loves that song, and then you once again realize they aren’t there anymore,
and all you can think is, if I only had one more day with that person.”_

**About For Closure:**
With several decades of combined experience performing in
bands throughout the Southern California punk rock scene, the fivesome of **For 
Closure** are unquestionably seasoned musicians who have racked up countless days
in hundreds of studios and venues, recording dozens of albums and touring across
the country in their various projects.

However, For Closure itself launched in 2023 and has presented novel approaches 
to the familiar music genres of power-pop and punk rock that they’ve been performing
for years with other outfits.

The genesis of For Closure stems from the dissolution of the longtime San Fernando
Valley-based band For Sale, some thirty years from its inception. At the terminus
of For Sale, vocalist **Gizz Lazlo (former drummer of Dr. Know, U.K. Subs & The 
Freeze) **and guitarist **Luis Estefania (F.Y.P., Rhythm Collision, Buford)** still
had a stack of unrecorded material as the band’s primary songwriters — but no band
with which to perform it all. Enter the creation of For Closure.

After connecting with producer/drummer** Wal Rashidi (Jr. Juggernaut, Turning Violet,
Sleep Pod Two) **to lay the groundwork — and soon thereafter adding bassist **Steve
Wilenkin (Dead Man’s Life, I.D.K., Life in a Burn Clinic) **and guitarist **Marc
Maxey (Sloth Fist, The Killing Flame, Justice League)** — the group engaged in recording
sessions at Studio in Redlands, California, yielding a slew of single releases (“
Carousel,” “Moon at Noon,” “No Condition,” “Hazy Mourning” and “Careful What You
Wish For”), all of which appear on the forthcoming full-length album,** _Cliffside
Serenades_**, to be released digitally and on colored vinyl in November 2024 via
Mindpower Records.

And that was supposed to be the end of the story: a collection of recordings done,
an album released and maybe one live show to prove For Closure existed.

Now inspired to hit the stage long-term with the release of_ Cliffside Serenades_,
the quintet has performed frequently in their Southern California region, playing
rooms throughout Los Angeles and San Diego counties. And they have ventured to Northern
California, putting their lasting musical imprint with audiences across the Golden
State.

For Closure has also hit traction on radio in 2024, with its “Moon at Noon” single
declared as the “Coolest Song in the World” by _SiriusXM’s “Little Steven’s Underground
Garage”_ radio show. More recently, “Careful What You Wish For” has been added to
_SiriusXM’s Faction Punk_, and the singles from _Cliffside Serenades_ have been 
spun on college radio stations throughout the nation.

For Closure’s plans for more shows and new material are well in the works. While
this highly experienced group still holds enough musical credentials to fill reams
of pages in its collective resume, the grand opening of For Closure via the release
of _Cliffside Serenades_ has since commenced — and this new prospect offers them
a chance to write another incredible chapter in the compiled musical history of 
its members.
