Bad Copy

Boston-based trio Battlemode has released a new single entitled “Game Over.” The song soundtracks a broken relationship in a way only Battlemode could; its vibrant Game Boy pulsation and moody blacklight kiss-off slams the controller down on the game of love and quickly unplugs the console. It’s a polished earworm that takes us back the dank mental arcade of our youth, with a kaleidoscopic euphoria, a glitchy witch house undercurrent, and a hypnotic tumble that demands repeated listens.

Band member Biff shared the following about the new single:

“Oh, not Battlemode doing another song about a soured relationship. Are we petty for writing a song about exes who have wronged us? Our last breakup song ‘Playlist’ came from a place of heartbreak and vulnerability. We’re sad bois, OK?!?! But ‘Game Over’ covers the colder side of breakups. When someone has tried your patience to a point where you’re dead inside.”
