Following the release of “It’s Just A Title,” Ben Quad has released their new single, “Painless,” set for release on their forthcoming sophomore album, Wisher. Their 10-track collection is set to drop on November 14 via Pure Noise Records.
Guitarist Edgar Viveros says of the release, “We knew early on in the demoing process that we wanted the vocals to pull from 2000s emo. The chorus is a big nod to bands such as Taking Back Sunday and features Sam and Henry trading off lines in the classic emo co-vocalist style.”
The artist adds, “For the outro, we wanted to bring back the post-hardcore/screamo heaviness that we showcased on our previous release, ‘Ephemera’. ‘Painless’ not only has the pop-sensibility that we’re introducing with the new record, but also the shreddy, midwest emo guitar lines we’ve come to be known for and the raw, aggressive sound we displayed on our last EP.”

Ben Quad will be hitting the road later this year with Koyo before heading overseas with Arm’s Length at the start of 2026. Check out their full touring schedule below and grab tickets here.
