Panama-based alt-rock duo AlphaWhores have returned with their new single, ‘Pirate Mode’. It’s a pounding, fuzzed-out anthem that combines a relentlessly intense riff with an effortless, almost chanted lead vocal melody. “Going into ‘Pirate Mode’ involves thickening one’s skin to better withstand life’s harsher blows,” they explain. “The track features our vocal harmonies, which have become a signature part of our sound, layered atop chunky guitar fuzz and thundering drums that advance forcefully to the pace of two distinct time signatures.” You Can All Come Out Now is the upcoming album from AlphaWhores, which is due for release on June 13th, 2025. -Dan Peeke
