TX2 Announces Debut Album 'End Of Us'; Drops New Single Feat. Black Veil Brides

Alt-rock phenom, TX2 has announced the release of his long-awaited and highly-anticipated debut album End Of Us, arriving February 13, 2026 via Hopeless Records. The album announcement arrives alongside the release of lead single and title track "The End of Us," an epic six-minute cinematic opus featuring Black Veil Brides, live strings, and TX2's most ambitious music video to date that he self-directed alongside guitarist Cameron Rostami. Stream the new track HERE. Watch the music video Below and pre-order the upcoming album HERE.

End Of Us marks a turning point for an artist who's spent a decade building one of heavy music's most devoted, and polarizing, fanbases. With 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, 1.3 million TikTok followers, and a relentless touring schedule that's taken him from opening slots on the Summer of Loud tour and multiple tours with Ice Nine Kills, performances at the Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple, to Download Festival 2026, TX2 has turned online hate into undeniable, unstoppable momentum. Today, TX2 continues his meteoric rise as he heralds the beginning of a new chapter with the album’s title track which captures the weight of betrayal, the chaos of spiraling, and the courageous defiance required to keep going anyway.

Speaking on today's announcement, Evan Thomas (TX2) shares

"'The End of Us' is the darkest song I've ever written. It captures that feeling of spiraling that happens shortly after betrayal, when everything you've built slips away. I said 'fuck it' and wanted to make a 6 minute epic. Live strings captured the emotions perfectly. Then having Andy's voice brings a weight and intensity that was perfect for the emotion of the track—he played the perfect character and created cinematic chaos. This song is the lead single of our album 'The End of Us' and features our biggest music video yet. Cam and I directed the music video, and I think made a video that will live much longer than we expected. I hope this song finds its own meaning to the right person."

TX2 has spent years earning co-signs from scene veterans. Beartooth's Caleb Shomo has publicly praised his "passion, hard work, and talent", his track "MAD" featuring Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas generated over 10,000 TikTok video creations and From First to Last joined him on "THIS ISN'T ABOUT DRUGS (I SWEAR)."

The 13-track album collects previously released singles alongside new material, including recent tracks "The Rain," "HOSTAGE (they will not erase us)," "Feed" featuring DeathbyRomy, and "Nice Guy" featuring Ekoh. Between them, these previously released songs have racked up a staggering 100 million streams and 42 million likes on TikTok in the last 12 months. The upcoming album also features a further collaboration with Magnolia Park and an instrumental version of TX2's track with Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas, "M.A.D".

Beyond the music, TX2 has built something even more impressive: the X Movement, a Discord-based community where thousands of fans support each other through mental health struggles. He goes live on social media to answer fan questions every day and stays after every show, sometimes for hours, to meet every fan. He keeps ticket prices low and uses his platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and fan safety in music spaces. It's work that's made him both a target and a lifeline, depending on who's watching.

End Of Us captures all of it. The noise, the defiance, the exhaustion, and the refusal to quit. 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 that's entirely his own and elevating the genre, and it’s fandom, to a new level.

TX2 is currently supporting Ice Nine Kills on their EU dates and UK arena tour in December before returning to the UK for Download Festival 2026, where he'll play alongside Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, and Limp Bizkit.

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. He's been called emo's most hated artist and its most necessary voice, often in the same breath. His debut album End Of Us arrives February 13, 2026 via Hopeless Records.

Pinkshift Share "Reflection" + "Don't Fight" Double Single"

Maryland trio PINKSHIFT will drop their new album EARTHKEEPER on August 29 via Hopeless Records. Pre-order it here. 

Today, the band has shared the double single "Reflection" + "Don't Fight." Listen here.

Watch the "Don't Fight" video below.

The songs showcase the dual nature of the album and, ultimately, the band.

"'Don't Fight' and 'Reflection' are opposite ends of Earthkeeper," singer Ashrita Kumar says. "They kind of balance each other out. 'Don't Fight' is grief ignited by anger, and' Reflection' is softness in power."

Kumar continues, "'Don't Fight' came from an idea [guitarist] Paul [Vallejo] brought to the band, and that's him singing the choruses. They inspired me in a time of grieving, and I felt drawn to something less melodic. My verses are more like shouted poems, feeling a sense of discord and anguish. 'Reflection' is, on the other hand, written from a place of feeling softness and lightness. That reflection is the presence of the Earthkeeper, my friends beyond the veil, and my ancestors. I feel the grief of their loss, but maybe our relationship is more magical now in ways that I can't understand all the time. Their time on Earth, in my life, shaped who I am today. That version of me can choose how I'd like to see the world."

A true balance, indeed.

Pinkshift will soon embark on a headline tour and in-store activities around album release on the East Coast and in their native Baltimore. All upcoming appearances and dates are below.

Pinkshift Share "Vacant" Video

Maryland trio PINKSHIFT recently announced their new album EARTHKEEPER, which arrives August 29 via Hopeless Records. Pre-order it here. 

Today, the band has shared the video for the uptempo, punk rock anthem "Vacant." Watch the late-night dance party, inspired by a surprising source, below.

"For 'Vacant,' we drew upon our ever-present punk influences to create a sound that feels familiar while also introducing concepts new to us," the band states. "Though we're no strangers to breakdowns, the one in this song was inspired by grunge jam sections rather than hardcore/metalcore, and ended up becoming of the grooviest parts we've ever written."

The band finishes, "'Vacant' is cheeky, urgent, and energetic, and we wanted to reflect that visually with a lighthearted, un-serious music video. Inspired by Beyonce's '7/11' video, it showcases the three of us and our two touring members, Michael and Kirby, just hanging out. A simple concept, but it captures our genuine selves connecting and reconnecting with the song and each other as we have a late-night dance party."

Pinkshift have also announced their upcoming tour and in-store activities around album release on the east coast and in their native Baltimore. All upcoming appearances and dates are below.

Autumn Kings Sign to Hopeless Records // Listen to "SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD" + "HELLBOUND"

Rock band AUTUMN KINGS, who have been steadily buzzing for the past year and with over 40 million streams and counting, have a landed a brand new label home. 

The trio, known for crafting unforgettably hooky anthems, has officially signed to Hopeless Records, and will commence working on material imminently.

"We are so excited to officially sign a record deal with Hopeless Records," the band says. "We've admired the label's fierce independent spirit for over a decade and they helped give careers to some of our favorite bands who changed our lives and inspired us to do music — Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41, and Yellowcard, to name a few. We feel that our new label partner and our team there truly understands our creative vision and supports where we want to go into the future."

The band continues, "Our most recent releases, 'SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD' and 'HELLBOUND' both touch on the spirit of conquest — both physically and mentally. We are a band that wants to champion a warrior mindset in our fans, to strive for more, become the best versions of themselves they can possibly be, and have the best time doing it. Conquering victim mentality, championing independent thought and courage... these are the pillars of the Autumn Kings experience, and we are excited to work hand-in-hand with Hopeless Records to bring this to the world."

The aforementioned "Sleep When I'm Dead" and "HELLBOUND" are out now.

Both tracks have garnered airplay on SiriusXM's Octane, among others. 

But that's not all.

Autumn Kings have had their music played on Football Night In America; at Detroit Red Wings games; in Major League Baseball stadiums; and on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.  They spent the summer of 2023 touring Pacific and Japanese military bases and have opened for Bush, Dorothy, Tea Party, X Ambassadors, and Mutemath. 

Fame On Fire Share "Suicide (The Lovers)" Video

Fame on Fire — singer Bryan Kuznitz, Blake Saul (guitarist), Paul Spirou(bass), and Alex Roman (drums) — last week announced their new album The Death Card. It arrives September 6 on Hopeless Records. Pre-order it here. 

Today, the band drops the official video for the new single "Suicide (The Lovers)." Watch the contemplative, story-driven clip, which will take on you a journey through multiple emotions and is bathed in blue tones, here.

The song is essentially about the idea of going all in for love, and it employs all the drama of a classic tragedy. Cinematic keys and hooks live alongside an ominous spoken-word on the bridge: "Dear beloved we are here today in the final resting place to seal their fate."

"It's a Romeo & Juliet-style story," Kuznitz reveals. "The sentiment is 'If I'm going to love you, I'm going to die for it, and I'm okay with that.' With 'The Lovers Card,' you're sacrificing your life to make a relationship work."

Tarot cards might give perspective, soothe the uncertainty of mental health, or simply enable you to make better sense of your life. Fame on Fire use music in much the same way. The Florida quartet process frustrations, fears, and feelings with a malleable musicality, matching emotions to moments of precise hard rock, piano-laden melody, manic electronics, and relatable pop catharsis. After generating over 100 million streams, packing shows, and earning acclaim, the band ponder fate and the future on their third full-length offering, The Death Card [Hopeless Records].

The band initially materialized out of South Florida with a distinct and dynamic vision. Following a series of inventive and innovative viral covers, they served up the original Transitions EP in 2017. They maintained their momentum with 2020's LEVELS. "Her Eyes" gathered over 15.5 million Spotify streams followed by "HEADSPACE" [feat. POORSTACY] with 13.1 million Spotify streams. Welcome to the Chaos saw them ascend yet again fueled by the likes of "Plastic Heart" and "Welcome to the Chaos" [feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills]. The latter vaulted into the Top 15 at Rock Radio. The band also toured alongside Falling In Reverse, Ice Nine Kills, and ONE OK ROCK. In between selling out headline gigs, the guys decamped to Los Angeles in order to record Death Card with producer Erik Ron [Godsmack, Motionless In White, Panic! At The Disco]. "This was our first time working with a producer," recalls Bryan. "Erik kept us on track, and he pushed me as a lyricist and songwriter to make everything cohesive." Threading this body of work together even tighter, each song corresponds to its own tarot card.

Fame on Fire will return to the road this fall, supporting Wage War. All dates are below.

Fame on Fire have also shared the new single "Suicide (The Lovers)." Listen here.

Solence Release New Lyric Video For "Antidote" Taken From Forthcoming New Album '_hope is a cult_' Out February 17

Swedish electropop-metal quartet Solence has released a lyric video for their latest release, "Antidote". Speaking to the theme of seeking meaningful connection, the track is taken from their forthcoming new album '_hope is a cult_' out Friday, February 17 via Hopeless Records. Speaking on today's release, the band shares:

"'Antidote' is a song about wanting to feel more alive. We interact with more people on a daily basis than ever before, yet we’re still unable to create real connections and end up feeling alone. The perspective of "Antidote" is that we desperately seek a cure, or something, to make us feel better. The song starts slow and mysterious then breaks out into a big sing-along chorus. Raise your hands, ready your voices, and lets goooo!!!!"

Prior to "Antidote", Solence dropped visual accompaniments for "Rain Down", "Demons", "Blood Sweat Tears", and most recently "nuBlood" featuring Fame On Fire vocalist Bryan Kuznitz. Altogether, the visuals have amassed over half a million views on YouTube and counting.

“We want to build up this family around positivity, hope, and the belief you can change things,” notes Markus. “We want you to forget everything that bothers you when you listen to this album. If we’re doing our job, audiences feel like they’re a part of it. When you go to a SOLENCE show, you have a good time, so hope is a cult for us.”

Solence Unleash New Music Video For "nuBlood" ft. Bryan Kuznitz (Fame On Fire)

Swedish electropop-metal quartet Solence has dropped their latest music video "nuBlood" featuring Fame On Fire vocalist Bryan Kuznitz. Not only that, but fans can also look forward to the band's forthcoming album '_hope is a cult_' set for release on Friday, February 17 (via Hopeless Records). Speaking on today's news, the band shares:

“'NuBlood' is a song about all the old dudes starting wars and oppressing people just to be able to cling on to their puny power! Just step aside. Your time is up. Out with the old, in with the new.

'NuBlood' is also a straight-up banger so hold on 'cuz this chorus is like sticking your head out the window whilst driving 100mph on the freeway!!

“We’re also so extremely excited to finally be able to share 'hope_is_a_cult' with all the Solence family…and the not yet inaugurated ones!! We’ve worked so hard and so long on this and we truly feel like this is such an important step for us in our journey to write the most “Solence” of songs that we can write. This album goes up, down, sideways, then we solo for a bit, and then it's head-banging and big choruses!

We’re super proud of this and hope you’re as excited as we are for 'hope_is_a_cult'!!!”

Prior to today, Solence released "Rain Down", "Demons", and most recently, "Blood Sweat Tears" which altogether have amassed 373,000 views on YouTube and over 2 million streams on Spotify. Watch the music video for "nuBlood" below, pre-save '_hope is a cult_' here, and pre-order the album here.

No matter where we come from, music draws us together and bonds us. For as much as SOLENCE sonically conjoin elements of metal, electronic, alternative, and pop, the Swedish group also appeal to an expansive swath of personalities with a universal message.
