Fearless Signs French Band TSS to Global Roster, Band Shares “Killing Me” Video

FEARLESS WELCOMES FRENCH METAL BAND TSS (FORMERLY THE SUNDAY SADNESS) TO THE GLOBAL ROSTER

BAND SHARES “KILLING ME” VIDEO — WATCH

FEARLESS RECORDS is proud to welcome French metal alchemists TSS (formerly The Sunday Sadness) to the roster.

The band has steadily built a reputation with its innovative blend of emo, metalcore, alternative rock, and synthwave. They’ve recently added elements of phonk and neo-metal to their sonic blend. The band was founded in 2016 by Kirby, who sought to combine his emo and metalcore roots into a fresh new sound. The band quickly solidified its lineup with John on guitar and vocals, and Hugo on Drums.

Today, they’ve shared the video for “Killing Me,” their debut single for their new label. The visual is inspired by The Matrix and ’00s-era horror films, and it will transport you to the glory days of aughts art.

Watch it here.

These dynamic French rockers cross-pollinate metal, synth wave, alt rock, nu metal, emo, phonk, goth, and more on “Killing Me,” their first single for their new label. These hard rockers serve up equal parts maelstrom and atmospheric sounds on this absolutely raging song, which builds to an enormous breakdown with moshpit-inciting fury. There are also downright pretty melodic moments sprinkled throughout. The song goes in all sorts of different and unpredictable directions. TSS play with a LOT of styles, but they do so seamlessly and the end result will tickle your ears.

“‘Killing Me’ delves into the mind of someone who has suddenly lost their soulmate,” the band explains. “It’s a haunting exploration of the anguish that follows a relationship cut short by death — where nightmares become a cruel refuge. You dream of the one you lost, only to wake up to a reality where they’re gone forever. This track captures the torment of an unfinished love, blending intense, dark soundscapes with raw emotion. It’s a journey through the pain of waking up to an empty reality, again, and again.”

TSS’s origin story can be traced back to December 2017, with “The Wrong Way,” their firstsingle release. In May 2018, they released “Lost In The Crowd,” a track that set the stage for their first live performance, which found them opening for Asking Alexandria in Paris. This show established TSS as an up and coming force in the French music scene.

Their 2018 single “Someone,” a blend of synthwave and retrowave, was a turning point that showcased John as a second lead vocalist. This shift was followed by their self-titled debut EP in May 2019, led by the single “Damn I Hate It,” which fans loved, thanks to its fusion of funk, synthwave, and emo elements. The band’s growing popularity was further confirmed with a sold-out release show in Paris.

As the band evolved, they started to introduce French lyrics into their songs, leading to the release of “YAYAYA” in September 2019. Their originality attracted the attention of independent label PlayTwo, resulting in the creation of the album REGRETS in collaboration with Warner Music and TV broadcaster TF1. In September 2021, the band rebranded to TSS, marking the occasion with the release of the single “1996,” which garnered significant attention in France.

February 2023 saw TSS embrace a more aggressive style with “Tes Pleurs,” a modern metalcore track inspired by Bring Me The Horizon and Poppy. This new direction broadened their audience while maintaining their unique gothic/K-pop aesthetic. The band’s experimental spirit led to the August 2023 release of “Fantasize,” a viral hit that fused alternative rock, J-rock, phonk, and metal, earning millions of streams on Spotify.

The momentum continued with “Would You Be My Therapy?” in December 2023, a track that topped iTunes rock charts and caught the attention of many labels. In September 2024, having signed a deal with Fearless Records.

TSS’s journey, characterized by constant innovation and genre-blending, has positioned them as a rising force in the modern metal scene, with a growing fanbase across diverse musical communities.
