The Power of Presence: Corrective Measure Returns with „If Only In This Moment“

Corrective Measure from Maine are among the contemporary hardcore bands that build their foundation on directness and meaningful content. Their sound is rooted in classic American hardcore, but they aren’t just chasing the past—it’s about emphasis and a clear stance. The band has gradually built a reputation through energetic recordings and live shows, with intensity and energy being the lasting impressions. They recently completed a major European tour, giving us a chance to witness their power on this side of the ocean.

The new release,If Only In This Moment, feels like a snapshot of thoughts and emotions in the here and now. Power, energy, speed—3 songs, 4 minutes. It’s not about grand proclamations for the future or dwelling on the past; it’s about the moment of decision when you have to face reality. The tracks are short, precise, and tight—no filler, no room for hesitation. Full lyrics can be found on their Bandcamp page. You can listen to it on the usual platforms or check out the retro visualizer on YouTube. There is also a physical cassette released in 50 copies.

With this release, Corrective Measure proves that hardcore can serve as a tool for both motivation and self-reflection at the same time. It’s a record that doesn’t rub you the right way—it forces you to think and deal with things in the present tense.
