Breakup Haircut – The Algorithm Is Trying To Kill Me

Punk band Breakup Haircut releases their new single “The Algorithm Is Trying To Kill Me.”

Imagine a late-night doomscroll spiralling out of control, but louder, sweatier, and tangled in feedback. “The Algorithm Is Trying To Kill Me” is a cathartic scream against constant commodification: a collision of whirling drums, jagged guitars, and sharp, sardonic vocals tearing through the noise of relentless sales pitching. A slice of restless, hooky chaos for anyone who ever wanted to throw their phone into the sea.

Fiercely independent, Breakup Haircut make fast, funny, and meaningful indie pop with a glorious abandon. Having been hunkered down, literally, in a garage recording new songs, the fruit of their labour is finally here with new single “The Algorithm Is Trying to Kill Me”, this short, sharp, clarion call, is the first from their forthcoming second album on INH Records

“Like most things I write, it’s about capitalism, because I genuinely think it’s the root of most terrible things – Don’t @ me, Silvia Federici…” says lead singer Ishani Jasmin. “I left Instagram in December 2024 after years of wanting to ditch the internet entirely. As a teen, it gave me life: connection, community, the belief I could stick around. But now? I’ve got enough friends. I don’t need to see the same ads three times in a row or find out someone I barely remember is thriving in Dubai. I’m tired of being sold things. I’m just tired.”
