Storm Boy returns with another powerful release from their 2025 recording sessions with producer Scot Michael at Titan Recording Studio in Shoreline, Washington. Their newest single, Exploder, focuses on the emotional load of holding onto the truth for too long, a concept that resonates with directness and severity.
When it comes to the gritty sound profile of it, Exploder pushes Storm Boy into relatively rougher territory. Driven by searing guitars and a more alternative, post hardcore edge, the track marks a shift from the straight-ahead punk rock of their recent offerings while retaining the immediacy, nerve, and authenticity that define the band’s sound.
The song exhibits a glimpse into the band’s upcoming debut full length, Beast Machine Theory, which spans the full arc of their evolution. The record features songs that trace their passage from the earliest demos, including one of the very first tracks ever written for the project, to material conceived and brought to life in the studio for the first time during the same sessions.
