Pittsburgh quartet Old Neon have dropped their latest anthem, “Whatever Helps You Sleep at Night.”
The single draws on pop punk, Midwest emo, and indie influence, with driving guitars adding a depth and urgency. The track follows on from April’s “Empty Frames.”
Old Neon have quickly established themselves as one of Pittsburgh’s hottest exports, fusing intricate indie rock with 2010’s shaded emo and infectious pop punk sensibilities.
The Steel City outfit have shown both graft and craft, with a consistent output of new music since their debut single “Highlights.” The track featured on 2023’s debut album Can’t Fucking Wait alongside the the anthemic “Warmer Weather” and thoughtful “Jumpstart.”
The band have been announced for their second consecutive Four Chord Music Festival this summer, joining a stacked bill including Something Corporate, A Day To Remember, and The All American Rejects. Their latest run of singles shows why Old Neon should be firmly at home in this line-up.
Following on from effervescent “Keep You Misery” and sunny pop-punk offering “Empty Frames,” “Whatever Helps You Sleep at Night” is a moody emo anthem, grounded and real, but dripping in pop sensibility.
