Illinois emo/punk band Harrison Gordon have released their sophomore LP BLISS today via Hopeless Records. The 11-track record follows 2023’s The Yuppies Are Winning and 2025’s Spring Break! EP, and marks the band’s first full-length for the label.
Built around the collision of punk urgency, emo vulnerability and the scrappy DIY energy that helped the band break out, BLISS digs into self-doubt, anxiety, disconnection and the messy search for something that actually feels fulfilling. Recent singles “Pretty,” “Not Working! Not Working!” and “Like Me Less” offered an early look at the record, while this week’s focus track “Sight of Blood” pushes deeper into its themes of regret and confronting what — and who — has been lost along the way.
Harrison Gordon have grown from a pandemic-era solo project into a full band built on basement shows, viral momentum and increasingly bigger stages, but BLISS keeps the rough edges intact. The band will spend the fall on the road supporting Mom Jeans alongside a run of select headline and album-release shows.
