Close Your Eyes is a melodic hardcore band from Abilene, Texas, known for their energetic sound and powerful lyrics that often blend themes of hope, struggle, and perseverance. Formed in 2005, the band made a strong impression with their debut album We Will Overcome in 2010, quickly earning a loyal following in the hardcore and post-hardcore scenes. Their blend of heavy riffs, anthemic choruses, and emotionally charged vocals set them apart in the genre.
They followed up with Empty Hands and Heavy Hearts (2011) and Line in the Sand (2013), further solidifying their place in the scene. Over the years, they've seen some changes in their lineup, including vocalists, but their core sound and message have remained consistent. Close Your Eyes have been praised for their intense live performances and lyrical sincerity, with tracks like “Valleys” and “The End” resonating deeply with fans. Though operating more under the radar in recent years, they’ve continued to leave an impact on the melodic hardcore landscape.
