HONEYBADGER IGNITE A DIGITAL REBELLION WITH NEW SINGLE “KILLSWITCH”

Grunge-punk trio Honeybadger are back with “Killswitch”, a snarling, fuzz-drenched anthem that tears into the suffocating grind of modern digital life. Out now on all major platforms, the track channels frustration, fury, and defiance into two and a half minutes of unfiltered rebellion.
“Killswitch” is a blistering critique of the faceless systems that bleed us dry corporations, scams, and endless loops of digital red tape. Jagged guitars and sneering vocals turn the everyday absurdities of online existence, CAPTCHAs, verification loops, data grabs, into a rallying cry against exploitation.
“Close it if you want to, but I’ll be on the inside.”
That line, half-threat and half-warning, sums up the track’s menacing tone: you can try to unplug, but the system never really lets go.
Sounding like Nirvana in a fistfight with Dead Kennedys, “Killswitch” thrashes with distorted riffs, a relentless drumbeat, and a chorus that begs to be screamed back from the crowd. The result is pure catharsis, equal parts rage and release for anyone who’s ever clicked “I Agree” one too many times.
“This isn’t just a song,” says Eddy Widdows (Lead Singer/Guitarist). “It’s a middle finger to the so-called ‘terms and conditions’ of modern life.”
With “Killswitch,” Honeybadger sharpen their edge and solidify their place as one of the most vital rising bands in the new wave of punk - angry, intelligent, and unafraid to bite the hand that scans the thumbprint.
“Killswitch” is out now on all streaming platforms.
