Hot Mulligan recently released their B-side single “I Don’t Think It’s The Right Time For Emojis,” and it’s hitting fans hard. The release falls ahead of their EU/U.K. tour, which started on February 20.
Tades, vocalist in the band, states:
“Zealotry is probably going to kill us all. Which is fine, guess. It’s no better or worse than any other kind of annihilation. There’s some people of faith who seem to understand not everyone has to care what their book says, and that deserves thanks. But judging by how many people are showing up for the mega-church Sunday spectacular, complete with pyro and wirework, the meek are not likely to inherit the earth. Joel Osteen locked people outside during Hurricane Harvey. Kenneth Copeland uses his church to buy planes, fancy cars, and houses. The camel can apparently very easily fit through the eye of the needle. David Easterwood is a pastor who runs an ICE field office on the side. Half of the archdiocese’s job is to cover for paedophiles.
I think some people can do it right. They’re nice people with a big nice ghost, and I don’t mind that one bit. But I think most people are just so afraid to die that they can look past the evil thing their church has become.”
The band is about to embark on a tour of the EU/U.K./ Ireland, and will see them hit 15 cities, including the prestigious London Roundhouse, with support from Delta Sleep. They also plan to head out across the U.S. this summer with headlining tour dates and festival appearances. Support will come from Joyce Manor, Saturdays At Your Place, and Koyo.

In 2025, the band released their album The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still, and it took the scene by storm and had fans eating from the palm of Hot Mulligan’s hands. The album is driven by a sense of fear that explodes into addictive, punchy choruses and reveals some of the most unguarded moments in the band’s discography. Their sound is relentless, the record is raw, and everything about it is hard to ignore. This record is jam-packed with fight-or-flight hooks and commands your attention from the first note. It’s all tied together by devastating lyrics, subtle flourishes in the synth, bright guitar riffs, and the impactful high notes and raw screams delivered by Tades. The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still is the band’s most cohesive body of work to date.
Hot Mulligan, composed of vocalist Tades Sanville, guitarists Chris Freeman and Ryan Malicsi, bassist Jonah Kramer, and drummer Brandon Blakeley, is a ride-or-die testament to staying true to yourself. The band formed in 2014 and cut their teeth playing house shows, naming their songs by typing with their eyes closed into auto-correct on their phones. No one expected the emo band to sell-out thousand cap venues, and they remain one of the scene’s most respected bands a decade later. But as the band readies their phenomenal fourth LP, The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still (Wax Bodega), that’s exactly where they’re at. Hot Mulligan is a resounding success story, No. 1 Hot New Band – 11 years and counting, just ask them – and ready to keep fighting the good fight.
Since Pilot (2018) put Hot Mulligan on the map, they’ve been lauded in Paste and Alternative Press, streamed over 140 million times on Spotify, and toured with sonic forefathers like The Wonder Years and Jimmy Eat World. For Hot Mulligan, the new LP is an unwavering stake in what they stand for.
