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.
