Drop Dead, Gorgeous have shared another new song. Today, they drop "Cyanide." Listen below.
"It's a dark love song for anyone who's ever been addicted to someone they should've run from," declares frontman Danny Stillman.
"Cyanide" follows "GHOSTS."
DD,G emerged in the mid-2000s with an emotionally charged take on post-hardcore that helped define the era. As teenagers from Denver, their 2006 debut In Vogue became a landmark for Rise Records, blending synth-laced breakdowns, theatrical flair, and raw vulnerability. Follow-up albums like Worse Than a Fairy Tale and The Hot N' Heavy cemented their place in the scene, influencing a wave of bands that followed.
The tastemakers at VICE tipped the band as that which helped to "perfect a style of post-hardcore that other bands would model themselves after. Where other bands in the scene would regurgitate the same testosterone-tinged bro-rock, Drop Dead, Gorgeous made their mark by putting [emotional] vulnerability into song."
After a decade-long hiatus, core members Daniel "Stills" Stillman, Danny Cooper, and Jake Hansen returned in 2024 with a string of surprise shows and, in 2025, released their first new music in years with the single "Six Feet." The followup "Burn" continued that momentum. They closed out 2025 with "Sink Your Teeth."
2026 continues a run of renewed activity and excitement.
SEVEN YEAR WITCH Release Official Music Video for Newest Single, "Cyanide"!
South Carolina Hard Rock, Blues-Punk band SEVEN YEAR WITCH has released the official music video for their new single, "Cyanide." The track "Cyanide" was recorded at Studio Barbarossa in Orlando, Florida by Josh Saldate, with the music video created by Justin West, who has filmed the majority of the Seven Year Witch music videos.
"'Cyanide' is our most ambitious release to date. The song is telling a tragic love story, and the music video follows closely with it. It feels like a Seven Year Witch movie! Definitely poured our hearts into this one, and it paid off. We strayed from our usual riff-based song structure to a more vocal and chorus-driven structure with this one" - Seth Burden (Seven Year Witch)"
The backwoods of South Carolina isn’t one’s first thought when it comes to a modern shock to the heart of rock n’ roll. Straight out of left-field with an electrifying hybrid of hard rock, blues-punk, and 70’s garage rock, Seven Year Witch emerges with enough stage energy to feed a generation starved of real rock n’ roll. After years of performing under a different name, the group unveiled the Seven Year Witch title in 2018. The band’s reception exploded regionally, as they began to tour heavily and open the stage for countless national acts. Having battled poverty and the scrutiny of rock n’ roll in the bible belt, Seven Year Witch has cut their teeth and made their own luck.
