Guitar riffs unfurl across the track, previewing the best of what’s to come from the band. some fear was recorded in the band’s home studio and self-produced with mastering from Boone Patrello (Teethe).
“Skin I Can’t Peel” is a song I wrote about meeting someone where they’re at in life, regardless of your common past,” bandleader Branden Palesano explains. “It’s about accepting, growing, and realizing we all change as we grow older and shed our old skin.”

ABOUT SOME FEAR:
some fear began as a solo endeavor in 2021 in Oklahoma City, OK when Branden “Bran” Palesano released a rough demo on Bandcamp. The project, initially driven by his solitary songwriting process—where he dwells on his thoughts and crafts chord progressions in one sitting—soon evolved into a full band. Bran’s vision was realized with the addition of Ray Morgan, Lennon Bramlett, and James Tunell, who added another dimension to the sound. The band’s sound can be described as chill and melancholic, a blend of slowcore and lo-fi rock that resonates with a profound sense of introspection. From a solitary project to a dynamic quartet, some fear continues to carve out a unique niche in the music scene with their deeply personal and genre-blending approach.
