RIAA Multi-Platinum alt-rock band Neon Trees today unveiled their fifth studio album, Sink Your Teeth, their first on Round Hill Records and featuring the buoyant single “Bad Dreams.” This week, the band premiered the video for “Bad Dreams,” a colorful and playful take on the song’s themes of escapism and fantasy. Indulge in the eye candy here.
Yesterday, the band made their live TV debut of “Bad Dreams” on “Today” – watch the performance here.
Later that evening, Neon Trees commanded a raucous set to a packed house at their album release party at New York City’s Paramount Times Square - a Generator Hotel, where they were the debut band to perform as part of the hotel’s Generator Sessions. Photos from the event, which included tattoo and street artists, celebrity djs and more are here.
Called “one of the most underrated American bands out there” by American Songwriter, Neon Trees throughout their career have combined the unbridled raw energy of their live rock shows with indelible pop hooks. On Sink Your Teeth, lead singer Tyler Glenn captures a bite and rawness in the music and lyrics reflecting a state of mind felt by many in a post pandemic, chronically online digital age, where the uneasiness and anxiety of modern love and modern life are more potent than ever. Like all of Neon Trees’ work, the album reveals a balance between the dark and the light.
“The question was, how do I capture that energy and that feeling of anxiety, but not make it solely about a period of time in our lives or make people only reflect on that when they listen?” Glenn says of the album. “The songs do contain some of the anxiety and existential crisis I was feeling at the start of the decade, but there’s also a thread of hope. It’s not wrapped neatly in a bow at the end, but there’s still a hopefulness.”

Neon Trees began a rapid ascent from the Provo, Utah alt-indie scene to the forefront of popular culture fueled by their debut album Habits. Its lead single “Animal” scored a double-platinum certification from the RIAA and took home “Top Alternative Song” at the Billboard Music Awards. Success continued for the band with their sophomore album, Picture Show and its hit single, the 5x RIAA Platinum “Everybody Talks.” The subsequent release Pop Psychology bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart and produced another hit, “Sleeping With A Friend.” In 2020, Neon Trees returned with their fourth studio album, I Can Feel You Forgetting Me, featuring the single, “Used to Like” which landed at #1 on the current Alternative chart.
In addition to chart success, the multi-format band has amassed 1 billion streams and recently logged over 40 million views on TikTok, while garnering acclaim from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today. Their live performance continues to electrify with over a decade of countless sold-out shows, marquee festival performances as well as appearances on “Good Morning America,” “Today,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “America’s Got Talent,” and “LIVE! With Kelly.”
