Some songs wear armor. This one wears a bruise. The Technicolors return with a moment of striking stillness in their latest single First Class To Nowhere, featuring GRAMMY® winner Madison Cunningham. Stripped back and emotionally open, the track marks a delicate detour from the band’s signature sound, inviting listeners into a moment of shared reflection rather than performance. As Brennan Smiley and Cunningham trade vocals, their voices intertwine with a sense of empathy, distance, and reluctant hope. This isn’t about running—it’s about admitting you’ve already arrived at nowhere, first class. Smiley says:

This one became a ‘get well soon’ card to myself, and to someone else. The honesty wasn’t easy.

While songs on the album explore characters and disguises, “First Class To Nowhere” stands out for its raw sincerity. The track previews their long-awaited new album Heavy Pulp, arriving August 29 via SoundOn. Produced by Robert Adam Stevenson and featuring BRONCHO’s Nathan Price on drums, the project is their first since 2021’s Cinema Sublimina. After taking time to breathe, the band returns not just refreshed—but redefined. The Technicolors now step into a moment where rock bands have a lane again. Stream “First Class to Nowhere," pre-save "Heavy Pulp," and follow The Technicolors on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.
