Ben Quad have released a video for their new single Painless, taken from their upcoming album Wisher.
“We knew early on in the demoing process that we wanted the vocals to pull from 2000’s emo,” explains guitarist Edgar Viveros. “The chorus is a big nod to bands such as Taking Back Sunday and features Sam and Henry trading off lines in the classic emo co-vocalist style. For the outro, we wanted to bring back the post-hardcore/screamo heaviness that we showcased on our previous release, ‘Ephemera’. ‘Painless’ not only has the pop-sensibility that we’re introducing with the new record, but also the shreddy, Midwest emo guitar lines we’ve come to be known for and the raw, aggressive sound we displayed on our last EP.”

Wisher is due for release on 14th November 2025 via Pure Noise Records. Those who pre-order the album in physical format will be invited to the band’s instore signing and performance at Seasick Records in Birmingham, AL – check out vinyl and bundle options HERE.
