New York collective WHATMORE are back with two new tracks “Still Loiteringgg” and “2000s Pop Punk Rnb”, kicking off a series of double A-side releases planned throughout the year. The songs mark the group’s first new material since their critically praised self-titled debut album in 2025.

Each track taps into a different corner of the band’s genre-blurring sound. “Still Loiteringgg” leans into a smooth, groove-led rhythm with drum patterns that nod to classic ‘90s production, while “2000s Pop Punk Rnb” blends crisp breakbeats with loose, guitar-tinged vocals that feels nostalgic and slightly left-field.

Formed in 2024, the five-piece formed of Cisco Swank, Yoshi T., Jackson August, Sebastiano and Elijah Judah, have quickly built a reputation for mixing hip-hop, alt-R&B and indie rock into a sound that feels both fluid and unpredictable. The group first connected during their high school years, and their chemistry has been central to the project since day one.

The momentum surrounding WHATMORE accelerated last year with the release of their debut album, which helped fuel sold-out shows across New York and Los Angeles as well as a support slot on Laundry Day’s The Time of Your Life tour.

Known for leaning into creative fan moments as much as their music, the band also hosted a memorable pop-up event where members worked behind a fast-food counter serving fans while handing out limited-edition CDs. Now the collective is gearing up for their biggest year yet, with a world tour set to take them across the US, UK and Europe, as they continue to roll out new music across the coming months.
