The Doldrums drop chaotic new single ‘Freakin’ Me Out!’

Manchester, NH’s punk-pop-alt-rock hybrid The Doldrums return with ‘Freakin’ Me Out!’, a wild, shape-shifting new single that captures the band’s restless energy and collaborative spark.

Born from a spontaneous two-note riff by bassist Tom Nicosia, the track evolved into a sonic rollercoaster—complete with a Latin-inspired bridge and a chaotic, clown-core finish that crashes into a dramatic finale. It’s equal parts unhinged and tightly crafted, delivering a sound that refuses to sit still.

Lyrically, ‘Freakin’ Me Out!’ tackles the return of inner demons—mental health spirals, addictive habits, and the recurring battles that come with both. “It’s about that haunting cycle,” the band says, “the fight to regain control when everything inside you wants to pull you back down.”

With its unpredictable structure and raw emotional weight, ‘Freakin’ Me Out!’ shows The Doldrums thriving in the chaos—and making damn sure you feel every second of it.
