NORTHEAST TEXAS HARDCORE / PUNK TRIO, PANTHER REVIVAL RELEASE BLISTERING NEW SINGLE ‘UNRELIABLE NARRATOR’

Greenville, TX – Originally slated for their upcoming full-length album, Panther Revival has decided to release ‘Unreliable Narrator’ early—and it’s easy to see why.

Blistering, unrelenting, and unapologetically political, the new single is a scathing protest anthem that demands immediate attention. Produced by Jacob Price Zazz, song tears through the speakers with raw punk energy, calling out the growing efforts to sanitize and whitewash history in schools and society. The Texas-based trio delivers the message with their trademark mix of hardcore fury and deliberate urgency. “I wrote this song last year, and it has sadly only become more lyrically relevant as time has gone on” says vocalist and guitarist Kennedy Rice. “This is us calling out the powers-that-be who misuse their reach by trying to sanitize our collective history.” The track stands firmly in Panther Revival’s catalog of socially conscious punk, and further solidifies their voice as one of the most vital in today’s political music scene. Hailing from Greenville, Texas, band is a fierce three-piece outfit blending elements of punk, hardcore, and spoken word. Their debut full-length ‘Animality’ (2024, Punkerton Records) introduced them as a fearless force, unafraid to speak truth to power with every riff, lyric, and live performance. Described as “Body Count meets AFI meets La Dispute” group consists of Kennedy Rice (vocals/guitar), Chris Edwards (drums) and Sam Boatner (bass). Known for their electrifying shows—sometimes leaping off stage to mosh with fans—the band continues to build a reputation for both sonic power and radical intent. Their motto: Power to the Panther.
