When The Unbranded step into a track, they don’t just play music, they peel back the layers of existence. Their latest release, « Novacaine », drawn from their EP « No Angels Here », sinks its teeth into raw emotions with an alt-rock venom that’s both sharp and strangely soothing. Produced by Cowdog and directed by Thor Slaughter, the music video is a must-watch: imagine a rebellious classroom scene where the band flips the power dynamic, pushing their teacher to the edge, while other shots capture each member in their element, thrashing strings, pounding drums, and vibing like it’s a basement show that never ends. The mood? Electric, chaotic, and oddly cathartic. And in the heart of it all, that piercing lyric: « There ain’t nothing wrong with me / Except my lack in positivity ». Welcome to the world of The Unbranded, presented by Slash Music.
« There ain’t nothing wrong with me / Except my lack in positivity » – The Unbranded
Unpolished. Unfiltered. Unbranded.
Hailing from Eugene, Oregon, The Unbranded isn’t just a band, they’re a reminder that music doesn’t need permission to be real. Originally a basement-born idea from frontman Kyle Pivarnik, the project found its voice when he joined forces with Michael Rose on bass and Daniel Brawley on drums. Together, they forged a sound that defies classification, blending 90s skate punk, grunge grit, and the introspective punch of post-hardcore. They’re not chasing trends, they’re chasing truth. “We’re not here to be perfect. We’re here to be honest,” says Kyle, echoing their ethos.
Their 7-track EP « No Angels Here », dropped on January 31, 2025, features anthems like « Novacaine », « Habit », and « Storey Boulevard », capturing everything that makes their sound hit so hard. With a growing community, constant drops and a heavy digital presence, this band is building more than hype, they’re building a connection. Keep an eye on The Unbranded, and don’t blink, you might miss the moment.
