Instead, the project has been quietly building and unfolding for more than a year, piecing together a sound and vision that feels inherently different from anything Logan has worked on before. Darkly romantic and more intentional with a little theatrical bite, but grounded in something deeply personal and very real. “GRAVEYARD ROMANCE” is the first official window into that world.

Few bands have left as deep a scar on the alternative, emo, and pop-punk space as The Smashing Pumpkins have. Through frontman Billy Corgan’s uniquely gruff vocal snarl, melancholic grandeur, and wall-of-distortion, they’ve shaped not only the ‘90s alt-rock space but have embedded their DNA into the next two decades of rock music.
