Social Wreckage blends melodic vocals with heavier, hard-driving instrumentation, landing somewhere between indie-rock and punk without fully committing themselves to either. The result is weighty but accessible, songs that hit a large audience hard, without losing a unique sense of identity. 

This band has made its home right at the intersection of melody and abrasion. There’s a weight to the sound–it’s indie-rock that isn’t afraid to scuff its knees, music that thrives in your angsty teen daughter’s bedroom. 

The band, led by Maren McTague, with Ella Fair on vocals and guitar, Preson Phillips on Bass and Arrow Enfinger on drums, released its first single, “Eyes Everywhere,” in December 2025, immediately establishing momentum. Social Wreckage has already opened for Underoath and is set to hit the road as part of the Silhouettes tour in February 2026, including a stop at Will’s Pub alongside Halation, Evershock, and No Clue.
