Pinkshift serve up a pop punk love song with “to

Pinkshift are back with “to me,” their first new music since the release of their 2022 debut album, Love Me Forever. Check it out below.

Ashrita Kumar, Paul Vallejo, and Myron Houngbedji have quickly risen through the ranks of today’s pop punk scene, touring with the likes of Mannequin Pussy and PUP, so it makes sense that the Baltimore trio would team with beloved producer Will Yip for “to me.” The track pairs lo-fi acoustic guitar with an electric, drenched-in-effects pedal fuzz for an especially emo moment as Kumar croons, “I want you close to me.”

“Love is a powerful form of energy that is not just given or taken, but flows endlessly and connects us all,” said Kumar in a statement. “‘to me’ speaks to the indestructibility of such an energy, and what it feels like to hold love close to your heart and with those around you. It is a realization that despite everything that is difficult, to be truly loved is to love ourselves.”
