Magnolia Park Drops “Addison Rae”
Magnolia Park is taking us back to our early 2000s pop-punk roots with their new single “Addison Rae“. Yes, like the influencer who is all over TikTok. The song is incredibly fun and nostalgic. Along with the new single, the band also dropped a music video for it. The high energy video captures those 2000 vibes that will have you jumping around with the band on the other side of the screen.
Guitarist Tristan Torres says about the single, “Addison Rae brings you back to the height of 2000’s Pop-Punk with its infectious chorus and unbelievably catchy lyrics that make you want to learn every word.” The band wants to make an impact on the music industry. Torres adds, “Our goal when we’re together is to make sure the next generation doesn’t have to face as much racial backlash for being a rock band. In the industry, people look at us a certain way and try to impose things on us—and we want to make sure the next generation of rock bands don’t have to go through what we’ve been through.”
The best news is that you can see Magnolia Park live in October, supporting A Day to Remember and The Used. They’ll kick off in Pensacola, FL on the 1st and will end in Irvine, CA on the 28th. Snag your tickets here and watch the new music video below!
