THE DROP
Beach Bunny have signed to Atlantic Records and marked it with "Vinegar," their first single for the major label *, †. The kicker: it is a fuzz-pop song about corporate alienation, which is a funny thing to lead with on your major label debut †.
WHAT TO KNOW
- First release since 2025's Tunnel Vision, which came out on AWAL *, †.
- Described as fuzz-pop with a big singalong chorus and lyrics about corporate burnout †.
- Video directed by Hannah Klein, casting the band as office workers hitting a breaking point †.
- Lili Trifilio says the song is "less a discussion and more a bubbling resentment directed at the 21st century mass commodification of everything." †
- 31-date "out of office tour" starts March 4th in Dallas, ends May 7th at Chicago's Salt Shed, with Daisy Grenade opening. Then 13 European arena dates with Weezer and Taking Back Sunday *, †.
THE TAKE
A song about being sold your soul back, released by a band that just signed to Atlantic, is either self-aware or oblivious, and the lyric about golden handcuffs suggests Trifilio knows exactly where she is standing †. The Weezer and Taking Back Sunday arena run is the real tell here: Atlantic is pushing this band at rooms much bigger than Subterranean *, †.
