Background

Getting Killed was produced alongside Kenny Beats.^[2] It was recorded over a ten-day period and has been described as "shambolic in structure but passionately performed", with the band "[balancing] a disarming tenderness with an intensified anger".^[3][4] The album's lead single, "Taxes", was released on July 8, 2025. The song's music video has been described as containing "a hallucinatory rush of moshing, screaming, and violence that feels akin to an exorcism".^[5]

On June 23, 2025, the band announced a North American headlining tour in support of the album. The tour began in South Burlington, Vermont on October 10, and is scheduled to conclude in Brooklyn, New York on November 21.^[6]

On July 24, Cameron Winter leaked the album's opening track, "Trinidad", via a now-removed link shared on his Instagram page. The song was officially released five days later, on July 29.^{[citation needed]}
