Cliffhanger
Brain Bleed
Release date: October 23, 2026
Independent pop punk band Cliffhanger has announced the upcoming release of their new digital EP, Brain Bleed, scheduled for October 23, 2026. The self-released project serves as an official preview for the band’s forthcoming full-length album, All That’s In Between, which is slated for a 2027 release.
The four-track EP features the previously unreleased title track, “Brain Bleed,” alongside three singles that the band released earlier in 2026: “Tripped (into Madness),” “Pavement,” and “Come Back.” All four songs on the EP will also be included on the 2027 full-length album.
Cliffhanger has built a steady catalog over the years with five prior EPs, maintaining a firmly DIY approach to their music. Known for blending classic pop punk elements like driving guitars and melodic hooks with emotionally direct songwriting, the Chicago-based group has previously secured performance slots at notable events and venues including Warped Tour, Riot Fest Presents, Subterranean, Beat Kitchen, and Cobra Lounge.
Brain Bleed will be available digitally on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms upon its release on October 23.
