Since his erupting onto the music scene in 2020, Maryland-based artist BruceBAn$hee has become one of the underground’s most pioneering sonic voices. Smashing through the barriers between punk rock, rap and alternative pop, his music lands where genres overlap, creating something astonishingly original. With origins in punk, rap and emo, his sound is always as unpredictable as it is explosive, driven by emotion and an insatiable hunger for experimentation.
Embracing a fully DIY approach, he takes the reins of every part of his creative process, from writing and recording to production and artwork design to capture his dramatic artistic vision exactly as he sees it. Each release arrives with his distinct imprint, often leaving the edges frayed to maintain a rough and raucous aesthetic, translating perfectly into his live shows which shake with punk-fuelled energy. In these moments, the lines between artist and audience dissolves, replaced by a shared current of adrenaline.
Unveiling his studio sound in 2020 with the debut EP 4th Wall, he’s since served up a body of work defined by momentum and invention, dropping singles and EPs that showcase his groundbreaking sound. Now he brings us his latest release with his new single titled “FISHY,” a dark, hypnotic leap into themes of trust, paranoia and blurred realities.
Once again putting his alternative rap swagger and potent punk energy on full display, “FISHY” captures the feeling of being caught between self-doubt and reckless freedom. It’s a headspace that feels surreal and all too familiar, rendered with a vocal delivery that drips with intensity and instrumentation that bites and punches throughout. Commenting on the single, he shares, “This song represents that feeling of being underwater in your own mind—when life feels off, and you’re questioning everything around you.”
Jumping straight in to a brooding scene of stabbing bass lines, booming kicks and rattling hi hat snaps, BruceBAn$hee’s theatrical vocals enter to lay down angsty lyricism via powerful rapped delivery. Belted out above the steady march of the arrangement, his voice casts an engrossing experience while gritty guitar lines pepper the track with charged alternative rock vibes.
Catchy, intense and highly original from start to finish, “FISHY” offers the latest showcase of BruceBAn$hee’s future-facing, genre-breaking sound. It’s a gripping track packed up in two and a half minutes of acute rap pun, resulting in a riveting dose of BruceBAn$hee’s robust and truly unique output. Showing no signs of slowing down, this exciting artist on the rise is sure to continue making a significant impression for years to come and we can’t wait to see what his next release has in store.
