Miracle Blood Drops New Single "Wasteland" and Video Ahead of 2026 Summer Tour
Miracle Blood, the Boston‑based noise‑rock trio known for their horror‑inspired sound, just dropped a new single and video. On June 9 2026, the group released “Wasteland,” a track recorded during the same sessions that produced their November 2024 album Hello Hell. It is the first new material the band has issued since that release.
Hello Hell was produced by Alex Allinson at The Bridge Sound & Stage and mastered by Brad Boatright—whose résumé includes The Armed, Sleep, and Nails. The album’s cover art and the “Wasteland” video were both created by guitarist and vocalist Andrew Wong. The initial vinyl pressing of Hello Hell sold out quickly; a second run is now being issued by Nefarious Industries in a translucent red edition with black splatter, timed to coincide with the band’s upcoming tour.
In a statement released with the single, Wong explained that “Wasteland” is a critique of consumer culture’s omnipresence in America. He described the song as a commentary on how advertising, billboards, social‑media ads, and other commercial messaging target people at every life stage, creating a cycle that continues until death. The lyricism reflects the band’s long‑standing interest in excess and societal critique.
The video for “Wasteland” was directed by Wong and stitches together live footage shot during the band’s touring schedule. The principal live shots come from a performance at the Mag Bar in Louisville, Kentucky, in April. Additional scenes show the band traveling in their van and stopping for food; these were reversed in the edit to reinforce the song’s thematic concerns. The video was uploaded to YouTube on the same day as the single’s release.
Miracle Blood’s 2026 summer tour begins on June 19 at Getties in Providence, Rhode Island, where the band will open for Socially Problematic Children, LMI, and Prax/s. The tour covers the Northeast and Midwest and includes several Canadian dates. Key stops include:

The tour concludes on August 7 at the Crystal Ballroom in Somerville, Massachusetts, where Miracle Blood will headline Somergloom Fest alongside Dropdead, Severed Boy and Unhinged.
With the release of “Wasteland” and the announcement of a comprehensive tour, Miracle Blood is positioning itself for a high‑profile summer run that follows the momentum of Hello Hell. The single’s thematic focus on consumer culture aligns with the band’s established lyrical concerns, while the video’s use of tour footage underscores the group’s commitment to a DIY aesthetic. The upcoming tour schedule, which spans the United States and Canada, provides a platform for the band to reach new audiences while reinforcing its presence in the noise‑rock and punk scenes.
The current status is that the single and video are available on streaming platforms and YouTube, the vinyl re‑pressing of Hello Hell is in production, and the 2026 tour dates are confirmed. Industry observers will likely monitor the band’s performance on the tour and the reception of the new single as the summer progresses.
