TX2 and Ekoh just dropped their new collab, “Nice Guy,” via Hopeless Records. The satirical alternative track takes aim at all the guys who claim they’re not like the rest. Preceded by “Feed (feat. DeathbyRomy),” “MAD (feat. Ice Nine Kills)” and “HOSTAGE (they will not erase us).”
“‘Nice Guy’ is both a self-aware jab at myself and a satirical song. I love satire,” TX2 says. “There’s this trope of men calling themselves the ‘nice guys’ and ending up not being the nicest, that I wanted to play off, and that’s what originally inspired the song.”
The artist adds, “While writing the song, when we got to the bridge, it became a self-aware dive into why I have relationship problems. I seem to fear commitment, and that ultimately will leave me with a lonely future.”
Notably, TX2 recently wrapped a tour supporting Beartooth. Lead vocalist Caleb Shomo shared of the artist, “It’s tough to be in the smaller band everyone hates on online, especially on a metal tour with older bands and older fans you’ve never played to. I will always feel for that after the way I was treated in the early attack days as a 15-year-old trying to express my joy, and it getting dumped on by the scene I adored. If you get this band off the jump or not isn’t my point, my point is you’re all gonna see in a few years why TX2 is still around and growing. You can’t fake passion, hard work, and talent. Especially to me while I’m watching your show at FOH in the broad daylight lol damn that shit was legit.”
TX2 just wrapped up tour dates in Europe and the UK and has no upcoming dates announced at the moment. However, Ekoh is about to embark on his headlining tour in November. Check out his run below and grab tickets here.
