Widows Peak!, the pop-punk/emo trio formerly known as The Crooked Smiles, are hitting hard with their debut EP under a new name. Offering a more mature, layered, and darker sound than their 2022 album 'Tears in the Palace', the new 4-track EP 'They’ll Have My Hands for This!' (including the haunting intro 'The Death of The Crooked Smiles') delves into themes of guilt, unrequited love, existentialism, and ageing. Familiar topics, sure—but Widows Peak brings fresh depth and poetic nuance to the table, crafting an 11-minute journey through the heart and soul of the band.

With emotionally charged vocals, infectious guitar lines, and relentless drumming, this EP is more than worth the listen (though the band cheekily notes there will be no refunds). Standout singles like 'Like Fingerprints on an Abandoned Handrail', a two-minute sonic dive into memory loss and ageing, and 'Stranraer (Today?)', a bittersweet exploration of a complicated relationship, come complete with self-made, tongue-in-cheek music videos for a full sensory experience.

'They’ll Have My Hands for This!' drops everywhere on October 27th, 2024.
