News: Taylor Acorn Announces New LP & Shares New Single & Video ‘Hangman’. ‘Poster Child’ Due Out October 24

After nearly a decade as an independent artist, Nashville-based pop-punk favorite Taylor Acorn officially signed to Fearless Records last month—marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Unapologetic and empowered, Acornnow announces her debut LP, Poster Child, following the critically acclaimed Survival in Motion (Deluxe) earlier this year.

Following lead single Goodbye, Good Riddance—which solidified her as one of pop-punk’s most exciting and authentic rising voices—Acorn returns with Hangman, an electric guitar-driven anthem laced with melancholy undertones. It’s Acorn at her best: delivering cathartic, relatable stories that hit as hard emotionally as they do sonically.

On the track Acorn shares, “The idea of ‘Hangman’ came about during a time when, even though everything in my life was going well, I felt emotionally stuck—like the universe was playing a weird game with me,” Acorn shares. “I’d be having the best day, and then boom—my car battery dies. One time, I literally looked up at the sky and yelled, ‘Oh, come on!’ I think a lot of us feel that way sometimes. Why can’t we move on from a relationship or situation that no longer suits us? I imagined the universe playing hangman as this fun visual—despite how emotional the song feels. It’s a different little spin on being down on your luck and trying to move forward.”

Her sound hasn’t gone unnoticed: Acorn has been championed across all major streaming platforms for her fearless mix of pop-punk, alt, and rock.

On Apple Music, she earned a banner feature under Punk for her EP, and landed placements on flagship playlists like Relationship Goals, Working From Home, Feeling Blue, Excited, and New Music Daily, as well as genre-specific lists like New in Alternative, The New Rock, and New in Punk. Over on Spotify, she’s been spotlighted in playlists like, Pop Punk’s Not Dead, New Noise, Women of Rock, and Fierce Femmes.

Amazon Music has also shown major support, featuring her on Breakthrough Pop, Breakthrough Alternative, Fresh Alternative, and Pop Culture, while Pandora highlighted her in their Pop Punk spotlight.

In 2024, Taylor Acorn made her Australian live debut, performing in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney last March, and returned down under last December performing as part of Good Things Festival alongside KoЯn, Violent Femmes, Electric Callboy, Billy Corgan and more.

Acorn is now bringing her album Poster Child to life onstage—music best experienced in a packed room of fans screaming every word. She’s set to perform at When We Were Young Fest, the legendary Warped Tour, and just announced her North American Headline Tour, kicking off this November.
