Following the breakout success of their critically acclaimed debut album End Of Us, TX2 refuse to slow down. Instead, they’re throwing more fuel on the fire with their explosive new EP, ‘We’re Going To Hell For This…’, out now.
Across five tracks, TX2 continue to challenge expectations, blending crushing modern rock, razor-sharp hooks and fearless lyricism that confronts identity, religion, trauma and social division without compromise. Featuring fan favorites ‘Pickup Truck’, ‘Confession’ and ‘Evil Is Contagious’ (ft Reel Big Fish) alongside new tracks ‘THE HUMAN DISEASE’, ‘I Know What You Did…’, the EP captures a band embracing complete creative freedom.
“‘Confession’ was my chance to regain that power I felt like I lost when I first realised I wasn’t straight,” explains vocalist Evan Thomas. “I grew up religious, and as a queer person I thought there was something wrong with me. Then I realised the problem wasn’t me. This song is powerful to us because it’s about taking that power back.”
Latest single ‘Evil Is Contagious’ expands on that unfiltered honesty while delivering one of the band’s most ambitious collaborations yet, featuring ska-punk legends Reel Big Fish. “I’ve learned hurt people hurt people in this world, and that’s the point of this song. It’s a perspective on why evil exists,” says Thomas.
Meanwhile, closing track ‘Pickup Truck’ showcases a band no longer interested in pleasing everyone. “It’s really a fuck you to everyone,” Thomas laughs. “I stopped caring about how people would interpret my songs and focused on what I wanted to say. Is it about a pickup truck? Maybe. Or maybe it’s something deeper. That’s up to you.”
The EP arrives just months after End Of Us cemented TX2 as one of alternative music’s most vital new voices, earning widespread acclaim while further growing the band’s devoted global fanbase. Their fearless message of acceptance, individuality and self-expression has resonated with millions, translating into more than one million monthly Spotify listeners, over 4.4 million followers across social media and explosive live performances around the world, alongside the likes of Black Veil Brides, Beartooth and Ice Nine Kills.
With ‘We’re Going To Hell For This…’, TX2 continue to push boundaries in every sense. Bold, provocative and impossible to ignore, the EP proves that the band’s greatest strength lies in saying exactly what they believe, regardless of who it challenges.
