I Don’t Think It’s the Right Time for EmojisNEW!Hot Mulligan
Hot Mulligan is an emo band formed in Lansing, Michigan, in 2014.
With sharp guitars and vocals that swing widely in emotion, they’ve been steadily gaining popularity in the emo scene.
Their new song is “I Don’t Think It’s the Right Time for Emojis.” Released in February 2026 right before their European tour, it carries forward the worldview of their 2025 album “The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still.” The track takes on themes that call out the contradictions in society brought about by religious authority and excessive zeal, leaving a powerful impression with anger-tinged, anxious vocals and breakneck instrumentation.
Its message—defying systems that control others through fear—also gives plenty to think about.
TWICENEW!Bilmuri
BilMuri is a music project led by Johnny Franck, a former member of Attack Attack!.
Based in Ohio, USA, they began full-scale activity in 2016 and have built a cult following with a genre-blurring style that fuses the heft of post-hardcore with a breezy pop lightness.
Ahead of their album KINDA HARD, slated for release in April 2026, they unveiled this track in February 2026.
Sharp guitar riffs intertwine with emotionally rich melodies, and midway through, the wistful tone of a saxophone rings out vividly, making for a unique structure—quintessentially theirs—where aching melancholy and exhilaration coexist.
Marrying the dynamism of loud rock with the accessibility of pop, this song should be a satisfying listen not only for fans of heavy music but also for indie-pop enthusiasts.

Riding on a rhythmic, melodic groove, the confident lyrics resound.
While depicting ambition, self-worth, and the struggles of relationships, it delivers a powerful message.
Since its release in May 2024, the song has dominated charts worldwide.
Notably, it reached No.
2 on the U.S.
Billboard chart and achieved platinum certification—an outstanding feat.
Whether for a morning drive, a pick-me-up before work, or when you’re feeling down, this is a song that’s sure to lift your spirits.
