H_NGM_N – Bittersweet Gut-Punch with Latest Single ‘Nothing Personal’
Following the snappy one-two punch of previous singles ‘Reach Out’ and ‘Spotlight’, and the moodier introspection of ‘No Place Like Home’, Brighton-based duo H_NGM_N return with a track that cuts straight to the emotional core. Their latest single, ‘Nothing Personal’, is a gut-punch of conflicting emotion—raw, soaring, and unshakably anthemic.
Built on a foundation of jangly guitars, math-rock intricacies, and the kind of full-bodied melodies that have become their signature, ‘Nothing Personal’ captures the band at their most vulnerable. Leaning into the bittersweet chaos of fractured trust and emotional ambiguity, Childs’ aching vocals simmer with quiet intensity before bursting into a cathartic, shout-it-out chorus.
Shot through with anxiety, doubt, and flickers of hope, the track doesn’t shy away from the messy reality of human connection. It encapsulates the exhaustion of trying to hold on while still protecting yourself—a universal experience rendered in heart-wrenching clarity.
Made for late-night drives and shouted singalongs, ‘Nothing Personal’ showcases exactly what H_NGM_N do best: transforming emotional turmoil into razor-sharp, punchy, and painfully relatable emo-pop anthems.
Offering a cathartic exploration of overthinking, overdrinking, and the relentless process of growing older, their sound is both gritty and tender. Fusing the blistering vulnerability of modern emo with the explosive energy of early-2000s pop-punk, H_NGM_N craft songs that feel both nostalgic and urgent—personal and universal all at once.
With their debut album set for release in Autumn 2025, and an Ireland tour announced for this summer, the band is poised to deliver a much-needed dose of catharsis in a world desperate for connection.
