Trxvis Unleases "Killer on the Loose"

If there’s one new artist carrying the torch for California’s next wave of pop-punk, it’s Trxvis. The SoCal native has been steadily carving his lane with a sound that fuses skate-punk nostalgia and alt-rock confidence. Since his breakout single “Downhill,” Trxvis has brought his anthemic energy to stages like The Viper Room and Whisky a Go-Go, earning a cult following that thrives on his raw honesty and warped sense of humor. Collaborations like “99” with SUCKERPUNCH! and “devil in disguise!” have positioned him as one of the most exciting young voices in the modern punk revival — blending sunny West Coast riffs with lyrical bite.

His newest release, “Killer on the Loose,” keeps the blood pumping and the pop-punk revival alive. Clocking in under two minutes, the track rips like a page torn straight from a late-90s skate-video soundtrack — fast, anxious, and emotionally reckless.

In the video, Trxvis darts through suburban streets while a girl in a Scream mask stalks him, knife in hand. It’s equal parts satire and symbolism — punk-rock panic wrapped in cinematic camp. The visuals mirror the lyrics’ raw self-awareness: “How could I be so naïve? … I think I made a big mistake.” It’s not just about fear; it’s about facing your own chaos when it finally catches up.

Musically, “Killer on the Loose” blends classic SoCal punk riffs with the unfiltered heart of 2000s emo, nodding to influences like blink-182 and Jawbreaker while staying firmly in the moment. It’s short, loud, and unapologetically messy — the way punk’s supposed to feel.

Trxvis isn’t reinventing the wheel; he’s skating over it at full speed, laughing while it catches fire. And if this latest single is any sign of where he’s headed, he’s not just part of the pop-punk comeback — he’s helping drive it straight into the next era.
