Obviously, wanting hurt is not a good thing, but I think it’s a healthy thing. We all reach a boiling point when it comes to life in general, and sometimes you just need to take a minute to let it all out. Maybe it’s a good ol’ cry in the car, a little dance party in a closed-door closet, or a scream into a pillow before going to bed. We don’t typically phrase it as “I Want Hurt,” but that’s exactly what we all need from time to time.

That’s what this new song from Atomic Pines is about. It’s about that moment when you can’t possibly bottle anything else up, and you need to release it. Sonically, this song is very post-hardcore influences but has a more standard alt-rock kind of vibe and a very distinct emo swagger behind it. It’s explosive and full of rage, but it’s also full of beautiful moments that act a bit like a chance for you to catch your breath before screaming into the abyss for a little longer. It’s the energy of the track. It’s the grit, the emotion, the darkness, the light– it’s everything in this track that will catch you both off guard and in a beautiful way. If it’s been a hot minute since you’ve had a good cry, a fun little dance party, or a scream into the abyss, let “I Want Hurt” from Atomic Pines be the release you need, and let this song give you permission to do whatever it is you need to do to release at least a little bit of the bottle.
