For a band with only two songs released, Untitled already sound like they’ve been pulled from a different era entirely. Not in the cynical, algorithm-chasing way many modern “throwback” bands operate, but in the messy, loud, gloriously unpolished tradition of kids discovering that distortion pedals and basement speakers can still change your life.
Their latest single, “Say It Again,” arrives carrying the weight of impossible expectations after breakout debut “Restless” exploded to more than forty million streams. Overnight, the Los Angeles band found themselves being dissected by tastemaker outlets and hailed as one of rock’s most exciting new arrivals. But behind the internet hype and endless comparisons to the ghosts of nineties alternative rock, Untitled still sound like four friends making noise in a garage because they genuinely don’t know what else they’d rather be doing.
“We just like loud things,” Lorenzo says simply. “What better than to just make it yourself and turn everything to eleven?”
That philosophy bleeds all over “Say It Again,” a snarling, melodic blast that feels equally indebted to Nirvana, Soundgarden, and the modern underground chaos currently bubbling out of DIY scenes across America. There’s no overthinking in the band’s approach, no grand attempt to reinvent rock music. If anything, Untitled’s power comes from how instinctual everything feels.
“It’s like we just get together and we make noise and that’s our whole thing,” Lorenzo explains.
That rawness has become the band’s defining trait. While much of modern alternative rock feels trapped inside polished production and TikTok-ready precision, Untitled embrace imperfection. Their songs move with the reckless momentum of a group discovering themselves in real time.
And despite the sudden wave of attention from outlets like VICE, BBC, and Kerrang!, the band remain strangely detached from the noise surrounding them.
“It’s all on the internet, so is it even real?” Lorenzo says. “It doesn’t change the fact that we wake up in the same houses that we’ve been waking up in and that we eat the same breakfast in the same chairs every day.”
Instead, the focus remains on building something tangible beyond streaming numbers and comment sections. Touring. Playing sweaty rooms. Connecting face to face.
“If you’re going to shows and people are enjoying your music, if you’re meeting people from the industry and they’re fans of your sound, that’s all you really need,” Juan says. “There will always be someone who thinks that what you’re doing is stupid, that you are stupid, and that it’s not worth their time. But they will still spend time to tell you all of that.”
For now, Untitled are still operating out of the same garage where this all started. The difference is the rest of the world finally seems to be listening.
