TX2 releases new single ‘Pickup Truck’
On tour with Black Veil Brides now
TX2 set to play Download Festival 2026

Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album End Of Us, which arrived in January this year, TX2 returns with a huge nu-metal anthem in the form of new single Pickup Truck.

Speaking of the new single, Evan Thomas (TX2) shares, “Pickup truck is an ironic song we wrote that’s really a fuck you to everyone. I stopped caring about how people would interpret my song, and focused more on what I wanted to say. Is this song about a pick up truck? Maybe. Or is it a deeper message. Up to you.”

TX2 has spent years earning co-signs from scene veterans. Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo has publicly praised his “passion, hard work, and talent,” while his breakout collaborations continue to resonate across the alternative scene. “MAD,” featuring Ice Nine Kills’ Spencer Charnas, has generated tens of thousands of TikTok creations, and From First to Last joined him on “THIS ISN’T ABOUT DRUGS (I SWEAR),” further cementing his place among modern rock’s most disruptive voices.

His debut album, End Of Us (out now via Hopeless Records), brings together fan-favorite singles and new material into a fully realized statement. The record includes standout tracks like “The Rain,” “HOSTAGE (they will not erase us),” “Feed” featuring DeathbyRomy, and “Nice Guy” featuring Ekoh, alongside additional collaborations with Magnolia Park and an instrumental version of “M.A.D.”

Beyond the music, TX2 has built something even more impactful: the X Movement, a Discord-based community where thousands of fans support each other through mental health struggles. He connects directly with fans through daily livestreams, stays after shows—sometimes for hours—to meet everyone he can, and keeps ticket prices accessible. Using his platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and safer spaces in music, he’s become both a lightning rod and a lifeline.

Stream: PICK UP TRUCK

TX2 has an extensive touring schedule for 2026. Having already completed a US headline tour and Australian tour with Rain City Drive and Melrose Avenue, TX2 is now currently on tour with Black Veil Brides before embarking on a major European festival run this summer including Download Festival, Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park, Rock For People, NovaRock, Graspop, Jera On Air, and Vainstream.
