Pinkshift have dropped ‘Vacant’, and it’s a hard-hitting blast of punk energy that doesn’t hold back. The Maryland trio’s latest single from their upcoming album Earthkeeper (out August 29) is a fiery declaration of frustration with the world’s empty promises – and it slaps.

“For ‘Vacant,’ we drew upon our ever-present punk influences to create a sound that feels familiar while also introducing concepts new to us,” the band state. “Though we’re no strangers to breakdowns, the one in this song was inspired by grunge jam sections rather than hardcore/metalcore, and ended up becoming of the grooviest parts we’ve ever written.”
