The Dark.FM Release New Single “[zippermouth]”

Los Angeles outfit The Dark.FM are back with their most uncompromising track yet — the razor-sharp and magnetic new single “[zippermouth].”
“We’ve always just sort of done whatever we wanted,” the band’s Craig Johns explains. “But whatever little voice was in there saying ‘Make sure the core kids like it’ just wasn’t there this time. So ‘[zippermouth]’ in a way is our first 100% The Dark.FM track. As a singer, it’s more of what I like to do, than just what I’m capable of, and as a producer, it’’ both.”
The band calls the track “late night metal” and even “Keanu Reeves metal” — a neon-soaked sound built on immediacy, lust, secrecy, and impatience. “‘[zippermouth]’ is all of the former and none of the latter,” the band adds. “But listen to that bridge though. Drum machine goes crazy.”
With their debut The Dark EP surpassing 2.5 million streams worldwide, The Dark.FM have already carved a name for themselves. In the brief time since their formation, they’ve hit Warped Tour, headlined four shows in Germany, and delivered a full showcase at Reeperbahn Festival 2025.
With “[zippermouth],” The Dark.FM push further into their own territory: dangerous, restless, and entirely their own.
