Los Angeles, CA – Friday, July 24 – Alternative Pop-Rock project Savings are debuting on Emo Nite‘s Graveboy Records with their new single, “Stressed Out.” They are emerging from their two-year hiatus with an alternative rock anthem that will continue to build up their musical legacy.
Rising from the Albuquerque scene, Savings was originally founded by songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist Sam Wilmot before adopting a full-fledged 5-piece touring band format—a pivotal decision that continues to pay dividends. The project has showcased its signature blend of Midwest emo, pop punk, and alt-pop influences across a handful of singles and EPs and a steady touring schedule.
“Stressed Out” is an alt-pop song that captures the feeling of decision paralysis when everyday life starts to feel overwhelming. Wilmot’s vocals are reflective, tracing the weight of existential uncertainty through each verse. Fuzzy guitar strums and snappy drums move across a laid-back backdrop of soft vocal harmonies, sliding basslines, and gentle guitar picking. Shifting between hazy melodies and conversational rap verses, the track gradually gives way to a hopeful chorus that offers a sense of reassurance.
Savings recently performed at the Vans Warped Tour‘s Breaking and Entering showcase hosted at the Emo Nite show at Avalon Hollywood, and will be performing at the Vans Warped Tour Long Beach in the Camp Emo Nite tent. They released their debut EP ‘Get Well Soon.’ in 2023, and the follow-up ‘How Do You Feel?’ the subsequent year. They have upcoming shows at Launchpad with Good Terms and Stateside, Backstage at Revel as support for Meet Me @ The Altar‘s ‘The Worried Sick Summer’ Tour. They previously played shows at Bottom of the Hill (SF), Historic Masonic Temple (MI), Beat Kitchen (Chicago), Moonlight Lounge ABQ, XLNC fest, Marble Brewery, Inside Out.
“‘Stressed Out’ almost feels like a reintroduction for us. To continue to step out of our comfort zone and into new territory sonically” – Savings
