AlphaWhores explain,“’Bloodsport’ is a visceral exploration of the emotional battleground that unfolds when a rupture occurs between people who were once close. It captures the raw tension between guilt and righteousness—the duality of feeling remorse while also standing firm in your truth. The lyrics move through self-awareness, confrontation, and ultimately a plea: to be seen, to be understood, to be loved in full. Musically, Bloodsport marks one of our most ambitious compositions to date. The song builds with unrelenting intensity toward a cathartic climax—an eruption that symbolises both release and victory. It’s not just a fight—it’s a transformation. “This song came from a place of deep inner conflict,” says Massiel, the band’s vocalist and drummer. “I wanted to explore what happens when you know you’ve made mistakes, but still feel like your truth deserves to be heard. It’s messy, it’s human—and writing it felt like winning a battle within ourselves.” The new album You Can Come Out Now was produced by London, UK based double-Grammy Award winner Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse) who travelled to the band’s home country, Panama, to record it. It was mixed by the band’s long-standing collaborator, US based Evan Rodaniche. Evan also mixed their debut album I (‘one’) and recent single ‘Over and Over’, which is a cover of the Hot Chip classic re-created in AlphaWhores’ brooding signature style. You can watch the ‘Over and Over’ video here. Hailing from Panama, AlphaWhores are Massiel Pinzón and Juan Carlos García de Paredes and have been working together for over 20 years when they were both members of the Panama based alternative rock band Mabí. In 2021, following the end of longstanding personal relationships for them both, Massiel and Juan Carlos found themselves in the studio together jamming and making new music, as a way to help them process the changes happening in their lives. The studio sessions were so successful that they decided to make it into a new music project and AlphaWhores was born. You Can Come Out Now sees the band further develop their eclectic mix of heavy styles infused with their distinct harmonies and searing palette of filthy riffs. It follows the release their debut album I (listen here), in January 2024, which features the singles ‘Raw Nerve’ and ‘Same Team’. AlphaWhores recently completed their debut headline European Tour, with 17 shows in Germany, Austria, Denmark and the UK. AlphaWhores will play an album launch show in Panama City next on June 21st. More dates are being booked now. |
