Post emo rising stars Hot Mulligan release their new Midwest emo soaked single and video “Island In The Sun” featuring Cory Castro of Free Throw via Wax Bodega. The track is the second preview from their upcoming album ‘The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still’, out now. Gritty, spiraling and self aware, the song channels a night of emotional collapse through upbeat instrumentals and jagged vocals, showing Hot Mulligan’s gift for turning raw angst into cathartic melodic fire.
With lyrics like “I want to want nothing / To forget what I need to change,” the band captures the numb struggle of trying to outrun regret while buried in self destruction. Michael Herrick’s accompanying video stitches together candid tour footage that mirrors the chaos and unfiltered honesty at the heart of Hot Mulligan’s world. The band also announced their 28 date fall 2025 The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still Tour with support from Drug Church, Arm’s Length and Anxious, marking another huge leap forward in their ascent.
