Dragged Under channel parental fears on Beautiful World featuring PINKNOISE
Dragged Under have released Beautiful World, a new single featuring genre-blurring artist PINKNOISE, ahead of their forthcoming third album Social Battery: Low.
Combining electronic pop textures with the band’s familiar collision of pop-punk hooks and metalcore weight, Beautiful World turns its gaze towards environmental anxiety, war and the uneasy prospect of leaving behind a damaged planet. Watch the lyric video here.
Frontman Tony Cappocchi says the track emerged from a changed perspective on the world around him. “Beautiful World is a song that touches on a lot of things I’m thinking about as a parent,” he explains. “I didn’t really think much about leaving behind a safe, clean planet before I had kids, so this song is a bit of a cautionary tale and a warning to people who might not share that perspective.
“Between war, pollution, and energy consumption, I worry that we’re at an unsustainable place, and I hope people will hear the song and maybe pick up a piece of trash that wasn’t theirs, or turn off the lights when they leave the house. I’m not expecting much.”
Cappocchi also points to the collaboration as a new step for the band. “It’s also exciting collaborating with PINKNOISE because we’ve never done a feature of this scale before,” he says. “We’re really excited to show you what we made, especially with such a talented artist involved. They really elevate the song.”
A reunited line-up behind Social Battery: Low
Beautiful World is the latest preview of Social Battery: Low, due on 12 March 2027 through Mascot Records. The record reunites Cappocchi, rhythm guitarist Sean Rosario and drummer Dylan Roy with guitarist Ryan “Fluff” Bruce and bassist Hans Hessburg.
