TX2 Drops New Single "Murder Scene" Featuring Magnolia Park

LA-based alt-rock artist TX2 has today released his debut album End Of Us via Hopeless Records. The 13-track album features collaborations with Black Veil Brides, Magnolia Park, Ice Nine Kills, DeathbyRomy, and Ekoh, and arrives after a decade of building one of heavy music's most polarizing and devoted fanbases. Today’s release is highlighted by focus track, "Die Alone" which captures the album's emotional core. Fans can listen to the full album HERE

Speaking on today’s highly anticipated release,TX2 frontman, Evan Thomas shares

“After 11 years of building toward this moment, the band and I are excited to unveil our debut album, ‘End of Us’, structured as a rock opera. Each single leading up to this release has told a story painting the larger album theme of, ‘The Resistance’, the final survivors in a world devastated by a vampire holocaust. I hope the story we’ve told through our debut album reminds the X Movement and those all around us that they cannot erase us.”

End Of Us marks a turning point for an artist who did what most won't: weaponized being the internet's punching bag and turned online hate into undeniable momentum. With 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, 1.3 million TikTok followers, and 100 million streams on previously released singles before the album even dropped, TX2 turned algorithmic outrage into a self-sustaining business outside traditional development models.

The album collects previously released singles including "The End of Us" featuring Black Veil Brides, "Murder Scene" featuring Magnolia Park, "HOSTAGE (they will not erase us)," "The Rain," "Feed" featuring DeathbyRomy, and "Nice Guy" featuring Ekoh, alongside new tracks that complete the album's narrative arc. Between them, the previously released songs generated 100 million streams and 42 million TikTok likes in the last 12 months alone.

TX2 has earned co-signs from Caleb Shomo, Ice Nine Kills, Black Veil Brides, Magnolia Park, and From First to Last while building the X Movement, a Discord-based mental health community with thousands of active members. As an openly queer artist, his refusal to sanitize his advocacy has made him both a target and a lifeline.

Thomas describes the album's sound as "punk meets vampire-core with an Eminem edge," drawing from influences like My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Black Veil Brides, and Linkin Park while carving out space entirely his own. He self-directed all music videos alongside guitarist Cameron Rostami with horror aesthetics inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

TX2 begins his US "End of Us" headline tour this month before heading to Australia with Rain City Drive in March, followed. He then returns to the US for a North America tour supporting Black Veil Brides before heading to Europe for a massive European festival run including Download Festival (alongside Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, and Limp Bizkit), Rock AM Ring, Rock Im Park, Rock For People, Novarock, Graspop, Jera On Air, and Vainstream.

ABOUT TX2

TX2 is the project of Los Angeles-based artist Evan Thomas, known for raw, emotionally charged alt-rock that refuses to play by the rules. Since going viral on TikTok in 2023 with "I Would Hate Me Too," TX2 has amassed 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, 1.3 million TikTok followers, and a touring resume that includes opening for Beartooth, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Ice Nine Kills, and Parkway Drive on the Summer of Loud tour.

Thomas founded the X Movement, a community dedicated to mental health awareness and creating safe spaces for fans who feel like they don't belong. He's openly queer, vocally advocates for LGBTQ+ rights and fan safety, and stays after every show to meet every fan, sometimes for hours.

TX2 Drops New Single "Murder Scene" Featuring Magnolia Park

Alt-rock phenom, TX2 has today released "Murder Scene," the second single from his debut album End Of Us, arriving February 13 via Hopeless Records. The track features Magnolia Park and marks a reciprocal collaboration between two of the new generation's most buzzed-about emo acts.

"Magnolia Park and I have been friends for years now, and since they had me featured on a song, it seemed only right to invite them to collab on this track," says Evan Thomas (TX2). "The song 'Murder Scene' dives into the story of our album, with Josh playing a different character introduced in the last act. We are both in two of the biggest upcoming emo bands of the new generation, this is the perfect collaboration to me."

"Murder Scene" uses gothic horror imagery to explore the intersection of relationship betrayal and mental health crisis. Set in a haunted motel with ghosts and shadows, the track transforms the fear of abandonment into a theatrical nightmare, capturing the paranoia and isolation of hitting rock bottom alone. The single continues the narrative arc established by the album's title track "The End of Us feat Black Veil Brides," a six-minute epic that dropped in December alongside the album announcement.

TX2 also surprise-dropped a music video for previously released track, "The Rain" in December while supporting Ice Nine Kills on their UK and European arena tour. The animated video, inspired by PS2-era survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, was created in collaboration with animator @fersetid_ and bridges the visual storyline between TX2's "FEED" and "The End of Us" music videos. ICYMI, you can watch The video for "The Rain" below.

With 1 million monthly Spotify listeners and 1.3 million TikTok followers, TX2 has built one of alternative music's most devoted and polarizing fanbases through relentless touring and the X Movement, a Discord-based mental health community. His debut album End Of Us arrives February 13, 2026 via Hopeless Records and features collaborations with Black Veil Brides, Magnolia Park, DeathbyRomy, Ekoh, and Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas.

TX2 already has a stacked touring schedule for 2026. Beginning with their US 'End of Us' Headline tour beginning in February, they then head to Australia with Rain City Drive in March, followed by a stellar European festival run including Download Festival, Rock AM Ring, Rock Im Park, Rock For People, Novarock, Graspop, Jera On Air and Vainstream.
