Ohio rock band Neon Straightjackets bring 90s punk and grunge elements to the alternative scene with their new single, $#!7CANNED. The new track is the first glimpse into their DIY-driven, explosive new EP, Ex-Girlfriends and Ecstasy, out across DSPs on April 15, 2023. In support of the release, the band will be embarking on a Spring/Summer tour throughout various cities in the United States, bringing their music to a wider range of audiences.
Neon Straightjackets lead vocalist and guitarist Larry Stahl penned the song after going through a messy breakup. It artfully describes the sense of a failing relationship coming to a close and the emotions of growing apart before the penultimate breakup.
“$#!7CANNED” was the last song that was written for the upcoming album, but it quickly became a favorite for the band. The song dives into the relatable hard ships that come with the downfall of a relationship, paired with an alternative rock sound. Neon Straightjackets have described the song as a cornerstone of the album’s sound and theme as, ‘$#!7CANNED was the song that really tied the whole album into what it was meant to be themed about. Based on previous relationships and troubles in life that everyone can relate to.” Neon Straightjackets.
