Magnolia Park is an American rock band formed in Orlando, Florida, in 2018. [1] [2] They are currently signed to Epitaph Records. [3]
On January 24, 2025, Magnolia Park announced their fourth studio album VAMP to be released on April 11. The album is said to be "a neo-gothic concept album that the band promises to be rich in world-building and compelling storytelling about a futuristic setting known as the Nocturne Nexus." [4]
Magnolia Park was formed in 2018 in Orlando, Florida [5] by childhood friends Tristian Torres and Freddie Criales. [6] The name Magnolia Park comes from the location where Criales broke his leg while riding his Razor scooter. [6] The band released their first single, "Patience," on August 1, 2018. [7]
In 2019, Magnolia Park released three more singles: "Desperate" on January 3, [8] "October" on July 12, [9] and "Pumpkin Eater" on August 2, [10] which were bundled into first EP, Vacant, on January 25, 2020. [11] They released an additional single, "Hangover Heaven," on November 15. [12] The following day, November 16, they performed at the final Hope Fest, headlined by Capstan, in Lakeside, FL. [13]
The band continued to release singles with "Outside" on January 17, 2020. [14] Magnolia Park had intended to tour in 2020 following the release of their first EP, but the COVID-19 pandemic prevented them from doing so. [6] From lockdown, they released their biggest single yet on July 24 with "Sick of it All," [15] followed by singles "Sunburst" on September 4 [16] and "Houdini" on October 16. [17] Much like many other burgeoning bands unable to tour during the coronavirus pandemic, Magnolia Park joined the social media platform TikTok to promote their music. The band posted their first video to the platform on October 23, 2020, using footage from their "Sick of it All" music video. [18] As of 2025, the post has garnered over 11,000 views. Magnolia Park continued to create and post videos on the platform and amassed a significant following.
Their follow-up single, "Love Me," featuring emo veteran Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens, was the final release on November 27, 2020 [19] before their sophomore EP, Dream Eater, was released on March 19, 2021. [20] Dream Eater contained two previously-released songs, "Sick of it All" and "Love Me;" three new songs "Singing," "TDH2S" featuring Oliver Baxxter of Broadside, and "Back on my Bullshit" featuring iamjakehill; and a remix of "Sunburst" featuring glimmers. [21] On June 29, Magnolia Park announced via a Facebook post that they would be supporting LiL Lotus on the Error Boy Tour of the southwestern United States. At their first tour stop at The Echo in Los Angeles on August 19, the band was approached by Epitaph Records to sign to their label, officially announcing their signing on September 30. [22] Then-bassist Jared Kay said of the opportunity, “Epitaph felt like the perfect fit for us, and we’re really excited for the band to be moving forward with them.” [22]
