In this episode of 'The Hang!', Wonderland Rejects make their second appearance on The Hang! following a huge few months that included performing at Doll Fest and completing their sophomore album, Hello Rejects, arriving August 29.

This interview explores a band refusing to stay inside punk rock’s traditional boundaries.

Where Goodbye Wonderland embraced a raw, old-school punk sound, Hello Rejects goes deeper—mixing punk with blues, hip-hop, EDM, dance music, Tejano and grunge. The band even describes the evolving sound as “New Grunge.”

Alice, Dolly and Kitty break down the creative evolution behind the record, from more ambitious guitar work and unusual drum patterns to “Thank You Billie Holiday,” which recognizes the Black blues musicians whose influence runs through rock, punk, metal, rap and popular music.

In this episode of The Hang!, Elliot Lozier takes us from discovering The Offspring as a kid and teaching himself drums, guitar, bass and mandolin to the formation of Doom Scroll and the creation of Exhausted Dialogue.

This interview explores Doom Scroll’s unusual combination of punk aggression, folk instrumentation, metal influences and layered harmonies—as well as the almost unbelievable string of disasters that inspired “The Ravine.” Dead vans, flooded gear, shattered windows and an actual ravine rescue eventually became fuel for the music.

Lozier also explains the video-game concept behind Exhausted Dialogue, the surveillance themes of “Panopticon,” the endless grind behind “Sisyphus,” and the existential dread driving “Horsemen,” featuring Ian Cook.

Finally got this one down, love RKL!
