Hoboken, New Jersey’s 3 Dollars write scrappy, melodic post-emo punk built on sharp hooks, raw emotion, and a nostalgic streak that pulls from Title Fight, The One Step Closer, and Anxious. The young band recently signed to Smartpunk Records, which will release their debut EP, Plus Tax, on July 10, 2026.
New Jersey emo-punk band 3 Dollars have shared their new single “Nauseous,” the opening track from their debut EP Plus Tax, out July 10 via Smartpunk Records.
The track follows “Suppressed Memories” with bright guitars, restless tempo shifts, and emotive vocals, while its Rio Rosario-directed video turns a carefree day between friends into something more chaotic.
Speaking on the single, vocalist Arthur Pawley says the lyrics came from “a place of reflection during a time where there was rapid change” in his life, with the line “See it more than you can” centering on the feeling of recognizing your own path before others have found theirs.
Plus Tax was recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Connor Priest at Timber Studios, and arrives this Friday through Smartpunk Records. Watch the video for “Nauseous” below.
