Southern California’s Victory Kid are back with “Expectations,” a sharp new single released via SBÄM Records. Known for their high-energy blend of melodic punk and modern pop-punk urgency, the band channels themes of frustration, self-doubt, and perseverance in this latest track—hinting at broader concepts on their upcoming record.
“Expectations” delivers everything Victory Kid does best: punchy guitars, driving rhythms, and hooks that hit hard without losing emotional weight. The track feels immediate and anthemic, with a sound that’s polished but not overproduced. It’s the kind of song that belongs equally in a basement show or a festival stage.
The band teased the release with video snippets and artwork across social media, encouraging fans to jump in early: “Enjoy ‘Expectations’ and let us know what you think in the comments!” A full music video is expected to follow soon, continuing their creative rollout with SBÄM.
Victory Kid have carved out their space in the scene by balancing feel-good punk energy with introspective grit. With “Expectations,” they show they’re not just meeting the moment—they’re pushing it forward.
