TX2 drops double single ‘Eat My Heart’ and ‘Prescription for Love’ after years of fan demand, following their debut album End of Us. Listen now
TX2 has never operated by conventional industry logic, and the release of his new double single on April 7 makes that clearer than ever. Evan Thomas, the Los Angeles-based alt.rock force behind the project, has dropped ‘Eat My Heart‘ and ‘Prescription for Love‘ simultaneously, one a track that fans have been demanding for years, and the other a piece of writing that speaks to a quieter, more personal reckoning. Both land just weeks after ‘End of Us,’ TX2’s 4/5-rated debut album, established him as one of the most compelling voices in modern rock. The double drop is a direct response to the community Thomas has spent years building around the project. The X Movement, TX2’s Discord-based fanbase that has grown into a mental health support network numbering in the thousands, has been vocal about ‘Eat My Heart’ for a long time. Thomas held the track back, and the tension around it only grew. “I didn’t want to release this song,” he admits plainly. “It’s been years, but fans have hounded us for it for years. After everything this movement has done for us we had to do something for them.”
‘Eat My Heart’: Years in the Making, Worth Every Second
The story of ‘Eat My Heart’ is one of those rare cases where the wait becomes part of the mythology. Thomas had teased the track on social media long enough that it had taken on a life of its own before anyone outside the inner circle had properly heard it. That kind of anticipation is hard to manufacture, and TX2 did not have to. The track existed, fans knew it existed, and the pressure built organically over time until the decision to release it became almost inevitable. It arrives in the context of a project that has momentum behind it. ‘End of Us,’ released on February 13 via Hopeless Records, is a 13-track rock opera built around a vampire-apocalypse concept, featuring collaborations with Black Veil Brides, Ice Nine Kills, Magnolia Park, and DeathbyRomy. The album pulled more than one million monthly Spotify listeners before it even dropped, and Kerrang! called it the work of “an artist refusing to shrink himself.” For someone touted as shaping the future of alt.rock, that is a powerful place to start. Now, barely two months after that debut, TX2 is already adding to the catalog.
‘Prescription for Love’: Learning to Break a Pattern
Where ‘Eat My Heart’ is a fan-demanded release carrying years of weight, ‘Prescription for Love’ is something more inward. Thomas wrote it while working through a recurring problem in his own relationships, the kind of cycle that is easy to identify and harder to break. “I wrote it while trying to break out of a pattern in relationships I seemed to keep finding myself in,” he explains.
I just want to learn how to love and this was a big step for me”
That willingness to sit inside discomfort and write from it honestly is one of the defining qualities of TX2 as a project. Thomas has built his reputation on emotional specificity, the kind of lyrical directness that resonates with a fanbase that is already primed to meet it. His debut album opens with industrial-tinged riffs and defiant anthems, but it also makes space for vulnerability. ‘Prescription for Love’ fits into that continuum. The timing of both tracks also points forward. TX2 is confirmed for Download Festival 2026, scheduled for June 10-14 at Donington Park, where they will share a lineup with Linkin Park, Guns N’ Roses, and Limp Bizkit. Additional European festival dates include Rock for People. The live schedule for this album cycle has been relentless, and the double single release suggests there is no intention of slowing down.
TX2 has spent over a decade building toward this moment. The numbers back it: 1.3 million TikTok followers, over 100 million combined streams from the ‘End of Us’ singles cycle, and a devoted community that has followed the project through every setback and reinvention. ‘Eat My Heart’ and ‘Prescription for Love’ are not filler between campaign moments. They are proof that the well is not running dry. The movement, as Thomas would say, is still very much alive.
