There’s a specific kind of chaos that exists in the in-between spaces — the cornfield dive bars, the backroads nobody paves, the garages full of broken amps and bigger dreams. That’s where ALBORN lives. And with their newest single “Violent” (out August 22nd), the Illinois-based band doesn’t just deliver a track — they channel the folklore of rural rebellion.

“Violent” feels like a hex delivered through a PA system in a basement show that everyone remembers.

Musically, it hits like a steel pipe to the ribs — swift, precise, and designed to leave a mark. The drums swing like a crowbar in a bar fight. The guitars growl like they’ve been sleeping under the hood of a truck. And Taylor’s vocal delivery lands somewhere between sermon and threat.

But “Violent” isn’t posturing. It’s storytelling. It’s about the moment you realize you don’t want to escape your hometown anymore — you just want to drag it into the spotlight and make the world deal with it. It’s about beer-drenched advice, dented expectations, and the magic of giving up on approval and getting louder instead.

The accompanying video — filmed and edited by the band — isn’t aiming for spectacle. It’s a field recording of their actual lives. No filters, just footage that feels like it was found in someone’s glovebox. And that’s exactly why it works.

“Violent” plants its flag in the Midwest underground and dares you to ignore it. It’s not your typical single, and ALBORN isn’t your typical band. They’ve built something too strong to fake, too loud to ignore, and too rooted to replace.  If you’re looking for a song that sounds like it was pulled out of the dirt and set on fire — ALBORN has you covered.

“Violent” is out now. Watch the video and get feral.  https://www.albornmusic.com/
