Horsewreck ignite a new era of emo-punk with defiant single ‘Right Mind’

Portland, Oregon’s Horsewreck are staking their claim in a genre primed for resurgence. Drawing inspiration from early 2000s staples like Say Anything and Taking Back Sunday, the band channel the raw urgency and emotional charge of that era while injecting a sharper, more experimental edge designed for a new generation.

Their latest single ‘Right Mind’ is a bold statement of intent. Sonically explosive and built around towering guitars, pounding drums, and chant-ready hooks, the track plays like a triumphant rallying cry. But beneath its anthemic exterior lies biting political commentary.

‘Right Mind’ uses irony as a tool, taking aim at nationalism, authoritarian ideals, and anti-immigrant rhetoric. The result is a piece of cathartic, confrontational emo that balances massive, crowd-ready energy with pointed social critique. It’s both satirical and sincere, exposing the dangers of blind loyalty while offering release through sheer sonic force.
