ICYMI, the Illinois-raised, punk rock band Harrison Gordon recently put out the visceral, self-deprecating track, “Like Me Less” with Hopeless Records.

Directed by Tades Sanville of Hot Mulligan and Alex Scalzo-Brown, the music video follows the band into a doctor's office as Harrison's face is reworked and distorted - a body-horror visual metaphor for the song's themes of self-loathing and projection. 

This release follows the announcement of their forthcoming record, BLISS, set for release on September 4.

Harrison Gordon shares their thoughts on the new single below:

“’Like Me Less’ is about having issues with yourself, and projecting those problems on to other people. ‘Whatever black mold breeding and spreading over your soul needs to stay dormant and unaddressed if you hope to keep anyone around.’ It was written about how it felt to go through a depressive episode while living with another person who was operating completely fine, ‘No one knows me, I barely know me, and that’s the way it oughta be’”

Even as the band has graduated to larger stages alongside State Champs, Hot Mulligan, and Arm's Length, their DNA remains rooted in the DIY scene where they built their reputation. Their songs are built for catharsis and connection with shout-along anthems and big hooks that feel as communal as they do personal. They turn anxiety, depression, and frustration into something loud, messy, and unifying. It’s music that thrives in motion, whether that be sweaty rooms, blown-out speakers, or crowds screaming every word back to them.

Sitting at the intersection of classic punk urgency and present-day emo vulnerability, the forthcoming record boasts a total of eleven tracks.

Previous singles off their upcoming record include the raw and lyrically self-aware “Pretty” and the infectious, tongue-in-cheek track, “Not Working! Not Working!”

What began as a solo project for Harrison Gordon (the man) in 2020 eventually evolved into a full band, fueled by packed basement shows and viral TikTok videos introducing millions to their blend of heartland punk, emo and indie rock. Following the breakout success of their 2023 self-released debut The Yuppies Are Winning and 2025 Spring Break EP, they could have spent their first release for Hopeless Records refining the formula that made them one of the genre's fastest-rising young acts. Instead, their sophomore LP, BLISS, embraces imperfection at every turn, capturing the abrasive dynamics and gritty authenticity of beloved second albums like Pinkerton and In Utero.

This new record cements their reputation for urgent, emotionally charged songwriting and explosive live energy. To stay up to date on all of Harrison Gordon’s latest news, follow them on social HERE.
