THE BUDDY SYSTEM FOREVER "Whatever Happened To Mazzy Star?" explores the endless fight against complacency and disillusionment

THE BUDDY SYSTEM FOREVER is set to drop their latest single, “Whatever Happened to Mazzy Star?” on May 29th, 2026. This fresh track from the quartet explores the struggles we feel as we continue to search for our true selves in the endless fight against complacency and disillusionment on our journey to where we belong…wherever that may be. This is the second single of a string of new tunes the group will release in the early Fall of 2026.

THE BUDDY SYSTEM FOREVER is an indie-punk band from Queens, NY known for big hooks, stacked vocal harmonies, ripping guitar solos and energetic live shows. Combining elements of punk and indie with a healthy dose of post-punk influence, their music is undefinable yet completely relatable to their growing fanbase. Initially a three-piece composed of guitarist/vocalist Joe Turchi, bassist/vocalist Nicole Erbio and drummer/vocalist Justin Licameli the band has recently added new member Morgan Daniels on keys which has allowed the group to further expand their sonic landscape.

Their genre-mashing tendencies have led them to self-describe as “Too weird for punk and too loud for indie!” Since 2021, they’ve built a dedicated cult-like following through consistent live shows and the release of their 2025 EP The Most Famous Arena and 2023 debut album Welcome To Buddyland. This year will see the band releasing a string of new singles culminating in a new EP this Fall.
