Hey everyone! Jadine is here, and I hope youāre all doing well! Iāve got some exciting news to share with you. If you havenāt heard of FISHLORD yet, youāre about to become a fan. Letās dive into it!
Who is FISHLORD?
First things first, letās get acquainted. FISHLORD, formerly known as Nafets, is back with his latest single, ‘BROKEN’, dropping on May 17th. This isnāt just any single; itās the final teaser before his debut EP āYOU LOOK LIKE YOU TREAT YOUR DOGS LIKE PEOPLEā hits on June 14th. Trust me, youāll want to mark your calendars for this one!
A Sneak Peek into ‘BROKEN’
FISHLORDās music is a wild ride through his roots in nu-metal, punk, and rock. āBROKENā is no exception. Written in late 2023, during a time of deep personal reflection, the song is an emotional rollercoaster. It starts off with gentle melodic rock vibes, then BAM! Youāre hit with a powerful screamo chorus. Itās like a musical sucker punch ā in the best way possible.
FISHLORD teamed up with his good friend Goodie for this track. Together, theyāve created a sonic landscape that perfectly mirrors the emotional depth of the songās theme. FISHLORD said, āI believe every educator should be concerned with the fates of young people everywhere, and at that moment, I felt dismayed and helpless at how best to support them. Goodieās verse adds such a beautiful, meaningful layer to the song.ā
What to Expect from the EP
So, whatās the deal with the EP? āYOU LOOK LIKE YOU TREAT YOUR DOGS LIKE PEOPLEā is set to drop on June 14th, and itās packed with bangers. The EP dives into FISHLORDās experiences as a first-generation immigrant and his quest for personal identity. Expect some serious 2000s rock vibes mixed with a fresh twist thatās both innovative and totally captivating.
Fishland shared, āAs a child of immigrants, I put so much emphasis on choosing the most āstableā or āprofessionalā paths, and it stripped me of my sense of self. Revisiting my musical roots in metal and screamo helped me feel seen and connected. I hope this project helps others feel the same way.ā
About FISHLORD
For those new to Fishland, hereās a quick rundown. Heās a Trinidadian American musician, author, and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up, the hardcore and metal scene helped him express his feelings and break free from third-culture kid expectations.
Now, heās on a mission to help others do the same and champion the Black, brown, and West Indian alt. and hardcore scenes. Under his previous moniker, Nafets, he racked up over 8 million streams on Spotify and landed sync placements with The CW, Netflix, BET+, Hulu, and more. Now, as FISHLORD, heās leaning into his nu-metal, punk, and rock roots.
