KILL JONNY RELEASES EPIC EMO BALLAD “SCARLET TEARDROPS”

Emo is SO BACK with Kill Jonny’s latest release, “Scarlet Teardrops.” This song immediately took me to the good ol’ days of shopping at Hot Topic in its prime, picking out my favorite band tee. There is something refreshingly nostalgic about this track, and I’m happy to say that it truly hits the nail dead-center on the head for the emo comeback we’ve been seeing. It’s heavy, screamo, and not trying too hard to be anything. It’s classic metalcore at its finest. The lyrics are vulnerable and heartfelt, touching on complex subjects like self harm and mental illness.

“Save the pain

‘Cause I’ll give it to myself

And I’ll take it in your place.

Say my name,

I can’t promise I’m not leaving

But I’ll sure as hell be bleeding for you.”

The catchy, epic ballad of a chorus has a melody so familiar, this one is definitely for fans of The Used and Escape the Fate.

Formerly “The OG Jonny G”, this Dallas-based musician transformed into "Kill Jonny," to better represent the dark facets of his mind. With the comeback of things like Warped Tour and emo culture, Kill Jonny is someone we’re super excited to hear more from.
