PRAISE FOR TAYLOR ACORN

"Taylor Acorn’s debut album, Survival In Motion, is a testament to inner strength. Brought up by early ’90s and 2000s pop punk, the Nashville-based singer is making her own mark on the genre that raised her through bold vulnerability, a strong sense of self, and wide-eyed ambition. Undoubtedly indebted to Avril Lavigne and Amy Lee, Acorn’s soaring voice on the title track launches the LP on an impressive note."
Alternative Press

“Driven by melody and a desire for catharsis, from starting out in the country scene through her evolution into a pop-punk artist, a throughline of candidness has bound everything the 30-year-old creates.”
Rock Sound

“Following the success of her previous singles, ‘Greener’ and ‘High Horse,’ [‘Survival In Motion’] is a riotous and powerful offering with edgy guitar riffs, high-octane percussion patterns, and poignant lyrics delivered by rich vocals…”
Ones To Watch 

"With a sound that channels the grit of Avril Lavigne and the anthemic power of Paramore, ‘Goodbye, Good Riddance’ blends attitude, emotion, and high-octane instrumentation into a stadium-sized roar.
"
The Daily Music Report

"one of pop punk’s most authentic and exciting rising stars.
"
-Melodic Mag

“The powerhouse vocals, crisp songwriting, and the overall feeling of good vibes coming through the speakers washed over me from the opening notes all the way to the dramatic conclusion of the album.”

After nearly a decade as an independent artist, Nashville-based pop-punk favorite Taylor Acorn officially signed to Fearless Records last month—marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Unapologetic and empowered, Acorn now announces her debut LP, Poster Child, following the critically acclaimed Survival in Motion (Deluxe) earlier this year.

Following lead single Goodbye, Good Riddance—which solidified her as one of pop-punk’s most exciting and authentic rising voices—Acorn returns with Hangman,” an electric guitar-driven anthem laced with melancholy undertones. It’s Acorn at her best: delivering cathartic, relatable stories that hit as hard emotionally as they do sonically.

On the track Acorn shares, “The idea of ‘Hangman’ came about during a time when, even though everything in my life was going well, I felt emotionally stuck—like the universe was playing a weird game with me,” Acorn shares. “I’d be having the best day, and then boom—my car battery dies. One time, I literally looked up at the sky and yelled, ‘Oh, come on!’ I think a lot of us feel that way sometimes. Why can’t we move on from a relationship or situation that no longer suits us? I imagined the universe playing hangman as this fun visual—despite how emotional the song feels. It’s a different little spin on being down on your luck and trying to move forward.”

Known for channeling the raw spirit of late-’90s and early-2000s pop-punk, Acorn puts a modern stamp on the genre that shaped her—bridging the emotional bite of Avril Lavigne with the anthemic fire of Paramore. She's proving that emo was never just a phase, ushering in a new era of emotionally charged, high-energy punk-pop for a new generation.

Her sound hasn’t gone unnoticed: Acorn has been championed across all major streaming platforms for her fearless mix of pop-punk, alt, and rock.

On Apple Music, she earned a banner feature under Punk for her EP, and landed placements on flagship playlists like Relationship GoalsWorking From HomeFeeling BlueExcited, and New Music Daily, as well as genre-specific lists like New in AlternativeThe New Rock, and New in Punk. Over on Spotify, she’s been spotlighted in playlists like, Pop Punk’s Not DeadNew NoiseWomen of Rock, and Fierce Femmes.

Amazon Music has also shown major support, featuring her on Breakthrough PopBreakthrough AlternativeFresh Alternative, and Pop Culture, while Pandora highlighted her in their Pop Punk spotlight.

Acorn is now bringing her album Poster Child to life onstage—music best experienced in a packed room of fans screaming every word. She’s set to perform at When We Were Young Fest, the legendary Warped Tour, and just announced her North American Headline Tour, kicking off this November.

Her latest single, “Hangman,” drops August 22 via Fearless Records, the same day tickets go on sale for her North American headline dates.
