London post-hardcore newcomers Tether. are pleased to reveal the official video for their new single ‘Hollywood Trauma’, which is released 6th June 2024 on all good digital service providers.
The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming debut EP Mirror Work. Recorded and mixed by long-term producer MyKey Kew at Rogue Recording Studios in London, the record is set for release on 21st June 2024.
Commenting on the single, front man Justin Jackson says: “The music industry is a tough place to be. Being in a popular city where it’s so saturated in terms of bands can be telling for anyone trying to pave their way. There are a lot of people in positions of power taking advantage of their privilege, and this often inevitably ends in groups being overlooked or shunned.”
“This song is about people aesthetically going through the motions in the rock scene; people that are just a part of the whole capitalist spectacle of it all, or have just clawed their way to the top through corruption. Making this song has just been an outlet for frustration and an expression of that. On all levels no one is free from slipping into this self-serving, detrimental mindset. Writing this almost felt like a note for future selves. Just don’t be a dick.”
Lead single ‘Straight With Me’ and follow up ‘Meet Me Where The Sun Touches The Sea’ were released earlier this year picking up support from Nels Hylton and Alyx Holcombe at BBC R1 introducing Rock, featured in Metal Hammer’s tracks of the week, and received nods from alternative tastemakers at Distorted Sound, Total Rock, Scene Point Blank, Gig Radar, Maximum Volume and more.
Following recent support slots with Dayshifter and Pengshui, the band play a special EP release show at The Black Heart, Camden on 27th June with tickets on sale now (see below for listings).

Formed in late 2018, Tether. are a post-hardcore beacon of hope in a hopeless world, on a mission of introspection to explore the very essence of what it means to be taking part in the collective human experience. Through front man Justin Jackson’s ongoing internal struggle to find meaning to life on Earth in an otherwise meaningless universe, the band set out to deliver messages of optimism, self-conviction, and a sense of the infinite possibilities for what can be.
Influenced by scene titans Every Time I Die, letlive, Poison The Well and Alexisonfire, their sound probes the darkest, rawest, but also the brightest areas of modern life, delivered with an unrelenting energy that has seen stages and floor shows across the UK torn apart.
The band immediately broke out on the capital’s underground scene sharing the stage with the likes of Hawthorne Heights, Loathe, As Everything Unfolds, Blood Youth, The City is Ours and Black Coast before heading out on their first tours alongside MSRY and Groom Lake in late 2019 and early 2020.
Their latest single, ‘The Deciders’ was released in February 2023, and debuted exclusively on BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rock as the first Track of the Week for the year.
Since returning to playing live post-pandemic, they have continued to bring their captivating shows to audiences across the country.
Building on that momentum, the band headlined London’s inaugural Lume Fest in April 2023 alongside Dream State and Graphic Nature, before playing their largest show to date in July 2023—a support slot for Cancer Bats at O2 Academy Islington—and recently supporting Quebec hardcore mob Don’t Try on their 2024 UK/EU tour.
