There’s something timeless about the kind of punk that bleeds emotion without ever losing its bite—and Corre Diablo tap straight into that vein with their new single “Our Name.” The Los Angeles trio don’t just play melodic punk; they carve every note from lived experience, turning heartache and fury into fuel.
The track is a sharp step forward, pairing urgency with vulnerability, and adding an extra layer of weight thanks to a guest appearance by Arturo Barrios of Audio Karate. It’s a collaboration that makes sense. Both bands orbit the same emotional universe—honest, melodic, defiant—and “Our Name” feels like a shared scream into the noise.
Corre Diablo’s sound sits somewhere between the raw ache of Jawbreaker, the bruised melodies of Samiam, and the political conscience of early Bad Religion. But they aren’t imitating anything. They’ve been building their voice since 2016, and with each release—especially 2020’s Three Songs Performed By Corre Diablo EP—they’ve sharpened their blend of melody and message. Tracks like “Heaven’s Lip” and “No Path to Light” showed a band willing to stretch, lean in, and get loud for the right reasons.
And that’s the thing—Corre Diablo are more than just a good band. They give a damn. Whether it’s donating proceeds to CHIRLA and Border Angels, or aligning themselves with mutual aid efforts in LA, there’s a community backbone running through everything they release.
“Our Name” isn’t just a song. It’s a declaration. It’s about holding space for your story when the world wants to erase it. It’s about showing up, even when it hurts. And above all, it’s a reminder that melodic punk still matters—and can still punch like hell when it’s coming from the right place.
