"Rainwalk" is new single from Pinkshift - listen

"Rainwalk" is the new single from Baltimore-based punk rock band and things just got a whole lot darker and heavier, ready to put listeners in a full heavy fall mood.  Surprising fans, Pinkshift have also released a B-side, "Toro".

"Rainwalk" is a spiteful anthem at its core. Conceptually, the song is about a tension that pulls and pushes us into confusion and anger. The song’s lyrics immerse listeners in a scene of constantly having to guess what someone else is thinking. 

Talking about the track, lead singer Ashrita Kumar said, “The lyrics are an ode to those awful instances when someone you know very well suddenly pretends like you don’t exist. Experiencing that could set anyone off, and writing these words helped me to pin down that feeling and let it go.” 

Instrumentally, it’s a darker take on pop punk for the fall season mood. Influenced by breakdowns of early 2010’s post-hardcore and fast punk beats, “Rainwalk” carries the raging angst of the bands’ previous singles forward with a heavier and powerful sound.
