San Diego’s benches are wasting no time in 2025. Coming off a tour supporting Ireland’s Inhaler, the rock four-piece have announced their upcoming EP Kill The Lights with the release of its title track.
Kill The Lights’ lead single gives some insight into the upcoming EP with its upbeat pace manifesting the nervous lyrics about fear and anxiety, “Jesus was a family friend but never sent any cards.” The song showcases a darker sound for the band, offering excitement for fans over the forthcoming project.
Coming out on the 23rd of May, the EP is set to be taken the road with both headlining tour dates across the West Coast and a set at this year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago. With support from Pleasure Pill, the tour is making stops in California, Washington State, Oregon and more across 12 dates. Tickets for shows can be found here.
Kill The Lights releases on the 23rd of May. The EP’s lead single is available to listen to now.
