KAONASHI Release Two New Singles “Confusion In A Car Crash“ & Music Video For “Fairmount Park After Dark” (Feat. Piantini Toribio Of Newcomer)

Legendary independent, New York-based rock label Equal Vision Records and Kaonashi are excited to present “Confusion In A Car Crash” and “Fairmount Park After Dark” feat. Piantini Toribio of Newcomer, two brand new singles from the emerging Philadelphia experimental metal band. Furthering the band’s career-long Lemon House concept, the two new singles usher in a new, powerful and suspenseful chapter to the ongoing saga. The song and music video for “Fairmount Park After Dark” are also an homage to the celebrated Venezuelan post-rock outfit Zeta.

“Musically, ‘Confusion In A Car Crash’ represents the exact moment where The Counselor kills Jackie B. Moore with the Blood Red Camry, which is essentially the catalyst for the entire Lemon House story,” the band says. “Next, ‘Fairmount Park After Dark’ reveals that Taylor Oxford has witnessed this and is running home in a state of panic, afraid that they might be next. Both songs are heavy, dissonant, fast and chaotic so you can feel how our characters felt in that moment. For longtime fans of ours, it’s a major moment of context. And for new listeners who may not know the story, it’s the perfect place to start."

Additionally, Kaonashi will embark on an EU/UK tour this year with God Complex. Dates below. Buy ticket here: https://kaonashipa.com/pages/tour

Philadelphia’s Kaonashi wants to create change. The trio — Peter Rono (vocals), Pao (drums) and Alex Hallquist (guitar/vocals), — aspire to generate compassion, understanding, and empathy through art. They understand that music is and has always been a force for bringing people together. They’ve made it their mission to leverage the platform that music provides to change the world around them for the better.

Whether you’re a fan of metal, hardcore, punk, post-hardcore or pop music, there’s something to latch onto when it comes to Kaonashi’s singular vision, as their songs encompass all of those genres without ever sounding forced — a fact that makes defining its music no simple task. Ultimately, the role of the artist is to create and not to categorize, and generally the public catches up, which finally seems to be happening for the band. “We had to take the long route and be misunderstood and overlooked for a long time,” Rono explains. “It took ten years of no one caring or just being an underdog to get where we are now. But now, it’s starting to be understood and starting to work out.”

Kaonashi will be making the following appearances during March and April. Dates below with more 2025 performances to be announced soon.
