The Hellflowers dive into vintage horror with new single “Creature”
Los Angeles punk rockers The Hellflowers have released their new single “Creature” on October 13, 2026. Inspired by vocalist Christina Eskew’s obsession with the classic monster movie Creature from the Black Lagoon, the track arrives just in time for Halloween and offers the latest preview of the band’s forthcoming third album, “Haunted”, due in February 2027.
Part vintage horror fantasy and part unrequited love song, “Creature” explores the irresistible pull of falling for someone—or something—you can never truly have. Punk-rock energy, garage-rock grit and a twisted romantic streak collide in a darkly playful love letter to the misunderstood monster lurking beneath the surface.
“I am obsessed with the Creature from the Black Lagoon, so I thought it was high time I wrote a love song about him,” says Christina Eskew. “I’m stoked it will be out just in time for Halloween.”
The accompanying music video was directed by Matt Eskew, with additional camera work by Lara Green and Adie Consentino.
“Creature” follows the band’s September single “Wild Ones,” a defiant anthem celebrating women’s autonomy and the freedom to live on their own terms. Both songs introduce the next chapter for The Hellflowers as they prepare to release “Haunted” in February.
Formed in Los Angeles in 2015 by Christina and Matt Eskew, The Hellflowers blend the melodic strength of Blondie and The Pretenders with the raw, infectious energy of The Ramones and The Clash. Over the past decade, the band has built a reputation for high-energy live performances, memorable hooks and a fiercely independent DIY spirit.
The Hellflowers have toured extensively throughout the United States and internationally, including three tours of the United Kingdom and appearances in France, Japan and Mexico. They have performed twice at the legendary Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and shared stages with FEAR, Save Ferris, The Avengers, Agent Orange, The Dickies, The Muffs, Tsunami Bomb, The Darts, Missing Persons, CH3, Michael Des Barres and Gene Loves Jezebel, among others.
Their catalog includes the albums “Por Vida” and “Vámonos”, the EPs “Vacation” and “Come On, Let’s Dance!”, and the six-song covers collection “Teenage Radio”. Their song “Come On, Let’s Dance!” was also featured in the 2017 season finale of Vanderpump Rules.

Future Static Release New Single “Waterworks” From Upcoming Second Album “Ornaments & Memories”
Australian heavy band Future Static have released their new single, “Waterworks”, taken from their upcoming second album, Ornaments & Memories. The record is scheduled for release on November 6 via Wild Thing Records.
The track marks a return to the band’s post hardcore roots. Lyrically, the song addresses themes of negative tunnel vision, self sabotage, and unavoidable meltdowns. These concepts are paired with rhythmic chaos and urgent guitar leads to reflect the overwhelming nature of the subject matter.
Ornaments & Memories serves as the Melbourne quintet’s second full length release, following their 2023 debut album, Liminality. The new material explores a darker and more philosophical direction, focusing on internal and external conflict, growth, and the experience of living in a rapidly accelerating world.
