PHONEBOY Releases New Single “I Look Alive”

This is the first release since this year since they released their sophomore album Moving Out in 2023.

The band says, “’I Look Alive’” is about getting smacked in the face by your insecurities and the little lies you tell to seem like you’re not losing your mind. When you’ve convinced yourself you’re not good enough or cool enough, it feels like everybody’s eyes are on you, judging every word you say and every move you make. Sitting in the corner of a party absolutely reeling, you hide behind a cigarette, a half empty glass, or a joke. In the moment, this works just fine but the feeling just builds inside you until it’s just too much to take. We wrote the song for anyone who’s ever felt alive on the outside while dying inside.”

This is the first track that featuring the newest band member, Jordan Torres on vocals.

The band shared their excitement about the music video, stating “Since this is our first song that Jordan is singing lead on, we wanted the music video to put her in the spotlight and be wildly ambitious. The record also has a lot of 80s-style synths, and we all love Halloween. So 1980s zombie prom sort of made perfect sense!”

In support of the new single the band will be doing a Halloween show in Brooklyn, NY at Brooklyn Made on October 31. Tickets can be purchased at HERE.

Also for 2025 the band just announced as support with Good Kid starting in Feburary. See all tour dates below.
