One Time Mountain Releases New Single “Understand”

One Time Mountain is cranking up the volume with their latest release, “Understand”, a hard-hitting rock song that will please both the old heads and the new rockers alike. The Boston-based band, comprised of Brian Murphy, Ethan Garman, Zach Rizzo, and Alec Smith, has been around since 2012, making a splash with their high-energy live shows and a sound inspired by classic rock legends like AC/DC and Mötley Crüe.

In an era where rock music seems to be harder and harder to find, “Understand” delivers exactly what rock fans are hungry for: loud guitars, strong vocals, and an energy that floods the venue. In their words, “We’re bringing you that great 70’s classic rock feel with a young energy” and “‘Understand’ is the fresh blood pumping through the veins of Rock n’ Roll, keeping it alive and well.” The song feels alive, like rock ’n’ roll is supposed to.

Lyrically, the track is about wanting love but not losing yourself in the process. It’s a song about guarding your independence while still feeling the weight of emotion.

One Time Mountain pairs a music video with the song, filmed during a wild weekend in New Hampshire that marked the band’s second video together. Despite car trouble, last-minute flights, late nights, and plenty of partying, the band pulled it off in a way you would expect from a rock n roll band.

The band plans to stay busy in 2026. Keep an eye out for their upcoming EP, their first vinyl release, and another full-length album on the way later this year, because One Time Mountain is just getting things going.

In the meantime, listen to the new single “Understand,” streaming everywhere.
