MOD SUN Returns With Blistering New Single ‘Mirror’
MOD SUN has officially launched into a new era, and his first single back proves he’s not messing around.

Photo credit: Connor Morss Titled ‘Mirrors’, MOD SUN is making his return in style with a hard-hitting, high-energy track that demands to be blasted at the highest volume.
Speaking on what ‘Mirrors’ means to him, MOD SUN has shared:
“I aimed to push the rawness we’re starting to feel again in music. It’s definitely the most aggressive song I’ve ever made. By dropping it first, we’re leading with fearlessness. To me, it’s a reflection of self-awareness. You look in the mirror and see yourself, but other people perceive you totally differently.”
As he settles into his new label home at Big Loud Rock, the label’s President Joey Moi has said:
“MOD SUN is a rare talent who has established himself by staying completely true to his vision. His influence on the alternative scene is undeniable, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with him for this next chapter of his life and music.”
MOD SUN’s latest era will officially kick-off with a free show Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, California on Monday, May 11.
He’s also set to support mgk for a run of shows this June. Take a look at the dates below.

A View From The Back Of The Room: Internal Bleeding & Party Cannon (Alice Doyle)
Internal Bleeding, Party Cannon & Guttural Slug, Clwb Ifor Bach, 29.04.26
Ahoy!It’s your foreign correspondent returning back with riveting totally unbiased reviews.I came across an opportunity to broaden my horizons, and travelled to Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff for a – what I thought was – a double bill of brutal death/party slam; Internal Bleeding and Party Cannon, and there was in fact a third band on the roster; Guttural Slug (6).The latter started the night off with a kind of slam set, and although I think their involvement came as a surprise to many it didn’t take long for the party to get started. Though not something I’d generally pick up and listen to, their live performance was engaging and entertaining.The most stand out thing for me personally was the drummer, but otherwise the set seemed to lack variety. Songs would bleed into one another and nothing stood out and made me go ‘there we go’. Regardless, the pits were established and they got what they came for. An extemporaneous live experience.
Next up – after picking up my double sized pint cup (!) – was Internal Bleeding (7). Although otherwise outside of my usual tastes I had listened to an album of theirs earlier in the year through some coincidence, and had somewhat of an idea what to expect.Ultimately they took over from what Guttural Slug had started, and amped it up with a more death metal shebang. The tone was more mature, the vocalist seemed to genuinely enjoy doing what he was doing and I was once again impressed by the control displayed by their drummer in particular. Involving the crowd and showing genuine respect for their fans whilst delivering a thrilling live listen.
It was then time for the ‘fun’ to begin, as Party Cannon (8) took the stage and immediately seized control of the audience by administering… humour? Despite their comical stage quips their actual execution musically was nothing to laugh at. I had no prior knowledge of the band, and took it in as I would any other new media; instrument by instrument picking out what would elate me and what would irk me.Their performance wasn’t anything too out of the ordinary in itself – though all clearly talented musicians – however it was the image and the almost self deprecating presence that made this band stand out. The pit was strong from start to finish, with everything from beach balls, Barbara’s and whales flying about. I summarised they are definitely a band best enjoyed by placing your brain on a shelf and just going with the flow. I would see them again perhaps better prepared for their madness.
Until next time, musipediacs! -
