After nearly a decade as an independent artist, Nashville-based pop-punk favorite Taylor Acorn officially signed to Fearless Records in July—marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Unapologetic and empowered, Acorn also announced her debut LP, Poster Child following the critically acclaimed Survival in Motion (Deluxe) earlier this year.
Following her lead singles Goodbye, Good Riddance and Hangman—which cemented her status as one of pop-punk’s most authentic and exciting rising voices—Acorn returns with Crashing Out, a cathartic, hook-laden banger with serious bite, straight out of the 2000s.
With raw, relatable grit, Acorn belts, “Can’t slow down, it only makes me want you more,” capturing the chaos of a volatile, touch-and-go romance. Thick guitar riffs, clashing drums, and her evocative vocals collide to deliver another undeniable pop-punk anthem.
“Crashing Out is a song that I wrote with Dylan Bauld and Mandy Lee from Misterwives and it’s one of my favorites off of the album,” Acorn shares. “It has such an infectious nostalgic feel to it, it’s super up beat and just an all around great vibe. You can dance to it, you can crash out to it in which I’ve done both. I think the fans will really love this one and I’m so excited for everyone to hear it!”

Known for channeling the raw spirit of late-’90s and early-2000s pop-punk, Acorn puts a modern stamp on the genre that shaped her—bridging the emotional bite of Avril Lavigne with the anthemic fire of Paramore. She’s proving that emo was never just a phase, ushering in a new era of emotionally charged, high-energy punk-pop for a new generation.
Her sound hasn’t gone unnoticed: Acorn has been championed across all major streaming platforms for her fearless mix of pop-punk, alt, and rock.
On Apple Music, she earned a banner feature under Punk for her EP, and landed placements on flagship playlists like Relationship Goals, Working From Home, Feeling Blue, Excited, and New Music Daily, as well as genre-specific lists like New in Alternative, The New Rock, and New in Punk. Over on Spotify, she’s been spotlighted in playlists like, Pop Punk’s Not Dead, New Noise, Women of Rock, and Fierce Femmes.
Amazon Music has also shown major support, featuring her on Breakthrough Pop, Breakthrough Alternative, Fresh Alternative, and Pop Culture, while Pandora highlighted her in their Pop Punk spotlight.
Acorn is now bringing her album Poster Child to life onstage—music best experienced in a packed room of fans screaming every word. She’s set to perform at When We Were Young Fest, the legendary Warped Tour, and just announced her North American Headline Tour, kicking off this November. Joining her on the road is rising Los Angeles-based alt-rock break-out band Wilt, who will serve as direct support throughout the tour.
