On 2025’s Tunnel Vision, Beach Bunny is getting back to basics: urgent, guitar-based indie rock with pop melodies. Woven through the album, “Just Around the Corner” echoes dynamic ’90s indie rock courtesy of fuzzed-out guitars and crashing drums, while slashing riffs and precise rhythms propel the melodic “Big Pink Bubble.” “Violence,” meanwhile, veers between a chorus propelled by buzzing guitars and Trifilio’s pleading vocals and a buoyant chorus hook; “Chasm” is driving punk-pop; and the vivacious title track is a pogoworthy rock anthem.
So far, this approach has worked like a charm. The band—the name refers interchangeably to both Trifilio and the full band that also features bassist/lead guitarist Anthony Vaccaro and drummer Jon Alvarado—has landed viral hits such as the RIAA-certified Platinum „Prom Queen“ and „Cloud 9” and the RIAA-certified Gold „Sports,“ and earned over a billion streams on Spotify alone plus countless appearances on critics‘ best of the year lists. 2022’s Emotional Creature, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart, while “Vertigo,“ the first single released from Tunnel Vision, became their highest charting song at AAA radio to date upon its 2024 release.
