Vincenza, Italy Emo/Punk band Jaguero have announced their 10 track upcoming debut album 'Make Me Feel Alive Again,' due April 10, 2026 via Anchors Aweigh Records. Along with the album announcement, the band have returned with 'Hold Me Close / Monday,' a powerful double single that offers the first full glimpse into the emotional landscape of their debut LP. The release highlights the two contrasting but complementary forces that define Jaguero’s sound: urgency and vulnerability, catharsis and reflection. 'Hold Me Close' channels the pressure of a society obsessed with achievement and constant performance. Built on raw intensity and driving energy, the track pushes back against narrow definitions of success, instead centering human connection and emotional honesty. It’s both an outburst and a realization — a reminder that fragility itself can be a form of strength. On the other side, 'Monday' shifts into a softer, more intimate space. Almost ballad-like in its approach, the song explores commitment, exhaustion, and the quiet resilience required to show up for the people who matter most. It captures the weight of emotional fatigue — the feeling of an endless 'Blue Monday' — while offering hope in the knowledge that even the heaviest days eventually pass. Together, 'Hold Me Close' and 'Monday' paint a vivid portrait of Jaguero’s dual identity: unfiltered and aggressive on one end, tender and introspective on the other — both converging toward the emotional core of 'Make Me Feel Alive Again.' Formed in 2021, Jaguero is a punk/emo band from Vicenza, Italy featuring members of Slander, Regarde, and La Fortuna. Following the release of their EPs 'Worst Weekend Ever' (2022) and 'New Love' (2023), produced by Maurizio Baggio at La Distilleria and released via Epidemic Records, the band quickly gained momentum with festival appearances and international shows. Those early releases were later compiled into a limited-edition self-titled vinyl. With their debut full-length album "Make Me Feel Alive Again" arriving in April 2026, Jaguero push further into emotional extremes — blending emo/punk urgency, grunge grit, and melodic hardcore hooks while staying rooted in the DIY spirit of small rooms and packed club floors, where shared experience matters more than genre boundaries.

Emo/Punk band Jaguero share emotional single "TwentyFour7" from forthcoming debut LP

February 23, 2026

Vicenza, Italy — Italian punk/emo outfit Jaguero have released “TWENTYFOUR7,” the final single leading up to their highly anticipated debut full-length Make Me Feel Alive Again, due out April 10, 2026 via Anchors Aweigh Records. The band have also unveiled an evocative new music video for the track, produced by Catrame and directed by Roberto Graziano Moro in collaboration with Lorenzo Scudiero which you can stream below. Following the duality showcased on previous single “Hold Me Close / Monday,” “TWENTYFOUR7” pushes Jaguero further into their emotional core. The song captures the deeply personal — yet universally relatable — tension between living life on your own terms and confronting the expectations of others. Balancing self-determination with the fragile hope of repairing a strained relationship, the track finds the band embracing vulnerability while refusing to compromise their identity.

Sonically and thematically, “TWENTYFOUR7” stands as one of the most distinctive moments on the upcoming album. It moves beyond the band’s familiar coordinates, and in doing so, becomes one of their most defining statements — a clear-eyed declaration of independence and the reclaiming of one’s voice.

The accompanying video mirrors that inner conflict, visually amplifying the song’s sense of searching, release, and emotional urgency through stark, intimate imagery.

For more information on the previously released singles "Hold Me Close" and "Monday" scroll up to the above. You can also stream all four singles below via their bandcamp page, including the lead off single "Lit" which released in December 2025. Full album is now available from the pre-order link.
