Add Trainwreck Boyfriend to the growing heap of bright young indie talent shaping more affordable Philadelphia into something resembling Brooklyn South. That its key members came together at a Beths show in 2023 should tell you something about where the female-fronted band’s sound falls in the alt-rock spectrum, though Trainwreck Boyfriend’s heavy jangle is fleshed out with a more synth-driven ’80s vibe
Those unforgettable melodies that stay in your head, strong and well-built, pushed forward by female voices. That’s exactly what you’ll find on this album, and it’s honestly impressive how solid it feels from start to finish.

Trainwreck Boyfriend is a compendium of love songs, dedicated to and inspired by female-fronted indie bands of the 90s and beyond, taking their grit, glamour, and determination to gift the listener something beautiful – a flawless album that respects the past but lives in the present.
Indie rockers Trainwreck Boyfriend certainly have the acumen for crafting emotional rock anthems, as this is pretty evident after listening to their newest album.
(Freakshow) blends crunchy guitars with wiry synth lines and an unmistakable ’80s shimmer, giving its alt-rock backbone a danceable edge. Greta Madeline’s vocal cuts through with sharp wit and raw charm, delivering confessional lyrics that feel both self-aware and defiant. The hooks land fast and stick hard, echoing influences like The Beths and Veruca Salt without feeling derivative.
