40 Lashes embrace chaos and catharsis on new single ‘Cheer On’

With the release of ‘Cheer On’, 40 Lashes cap off their ‘Cheer On, Rock On, Party On’ EP with a track that’s as brutal as it is unhinged. Mixed by Brett Romnes (Slow Joy) and mastered by Mike Kalajian (The Devil Wears Prada), the single stakes its claim in the volatile territory between nu-metal and emo, offering a sonic punch throughout.

‘Cheer On’ barrels forward with searing intensity, marrying jagged riffs to brooding textures. It’s a track that feels desolate but never still—anchored in themes of social alienation, yet laced with a kind of nihilistic glee. There’s a recklessness here, a flirtation with the edge that captures both the weight and the wildness of spiralling out.
