Jackson Simmons vocals/guitar Brandon Walters bass/synth Troy Bruner drums
Over more than a decade, Dallas trio little image have evolved from suburban kids obsessed with underground indie rock into one of alternative music’s most compelling rising acts. Comprised of Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters (bass/synth), and Troy Bruner (drums), the band found their creative identity by pushing beyond the traditional guitar-bass-drums setup and embracing a more expansive approach to songwriting and world-building.
That evolution led to a partnership with producer Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS) and the release of their debut album, SELF TITLED, in 2023. The album introduced little image’s emotionally immersive alt-pop sound and produced the band’s breakout #1 Alternative radio hit, “OUT OF MY MIND,” launching a new chapter that included headline touring and a rapidly growing fanbase.
After navigating a period of personal and creative recalibration, little image returned with their sophomore album, KILL THE GHOST, released in March 2026 via Hollywood Records. Produced primarily by Copelin, the album transforms themes of self-doubt, resilience, emotional freedom, and authenticity into the band’s boldest and most ambitious work to date, featuring songs including “THE REAPER,” “KILL THE GHOST,” “REAL ESTATE,” “RUN FOR FOREVER,” “THE PRESSURE,” “NOVOCAINE,” and “DEFCON.”
Known for their hands-on approach to every aspect of their creative world, from stage design to visual storytelling, little image continue to build momentum both on stage and beyond. The band has toured with Panic! At The Disco, Bad Suns, almost monday, Joywave, and Colony House, and performed at festivals including Shakey Knees, Float Fest, and more. With KILL THE GHOST now out and a growing global audience behind them, little image continue to establish themselves as one of alternative music’s most exciting & creative new voices.
Bio / Press Releases
For Texas-bred trio little image, music is a catalyst for turning chaos into clarity and self-doubt into transcendence. After introducing the world to their lush but visceral alt-pop on 2023’s SELF TITLED, the band set off on a steady ascent that’s now included scoring a No. 1 hit on alternative radio (“OUT OF MY MIND”), mounting their own U.S. headline run, and touring with the likes of Panic! At The Disco, Bad Suns, and Joywave. Before diving into the making of their sophomore LP, vocalist/guitarist Jackson Simmons, bassist/synth player Brandon Walters, and drummer Troy Bruner took time to recalibrate and reconnect with their intentions, including going to therapy together to work through the disorientation of their upward trajectory. With no masterplan or manifesto, little image returned to the studio and soon came up with a sublimely cathartic track called “RUN FOR FOREVER”—a rallying cry for restless souls that immediately set the tone for their powerhouse new album KILL THE GHOST.
Born from a burst of pure spontaneity at a Nashville studio converted from an antique drugstore, “RUN FOR FOREVER” both encapsulates the irrepressible spirit of KILL THE GHOST and serves as an essential ethos for little image. “For me that song is about the magic of doing what you love with people you love, and the whole reason we started this band was to experience that kind of magic,” says Walters. “As you get older and spend more time in this business, you can lose touch with the innocence and joy of making something together,” adds Bruner. “But that day almost felt like we were kids again, and the pressure was completely gone.”
Mainly produced by their repeat collaborator Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS) and recorded at his Oklahoma studio, KILL THE GHOST strays from the synth-heavy aesthetic of SELF TITLED and leans toward a more guitar-driven sound—a deliberate return to their roots as Dallas-area suburban kids who first bonded over their ardent love for underground indie-rock. With its thrilling interplay of raw vitality and boldly inventive detail, KILL THE GHOST takes its title from its opening track: a larger-than-life anthem of overcoming self-sabotage and rising to a new level of emotional freedom. “As soon as we wrote ‘KILL THE GHOST,’ it became like a mantra for us,” says Bruner. “It’s a call to let go of whatever’s holding you back from being who you truly are, and we all felt passionate that it should be one of the defining statements for the album.”
While songs like “KILL THE GHOST” radiate a triumphant energy, little image often delve into the darker dimensions of the psyche, populating the album with a cast of antagonistic characters who personify our inner demons. On “THE REAPER,” for instance, the band share a haunting meditation on fear of abandonment, amplifying the track’s heavy-hearted urgency with shadowy beats, stark piano tones, and beautifully surreal lyrics (from the pre-chorus: “I’m sorry I can’t fall off the rooftop of your heart anymore”). “When that song first came to me, I was thinking about a friend whose marriage and family fell apart because of infidelity,” says Walters, who penned “THE REAPER” by building off a chopped-up piano loop while his young son was taking a nap. “It’s a plea not to be put in a situation where you end up having to start all over again and rebuild your entire life, and the fear is so intense it almost feels like you’re staring down death.”
After the epic outpouring of “THE REAPER,” KILL THE GHOST spotlights little image’s more experimental sensibilities on tracks like “DEFCON”—a hypnotic sonic replica of the terror of a panic attack. On “EASY TO LOVE” (co-written with Sir Sly’s Landon Jacobs) the band strikes a potent balance of brutal honesty and playful wit as they confront the endless complexities of human bonds. “That song came from thinking about how it can take a little more effort and care to pursue a connection with certain people, either because of trauma or other complications in your past,” explains Simmons. And on “ALWAYS ENDS,” little image close out KILL THE GHOST with a dreamlike reflection on their journey to date, threading the gorgeously shimmering track with memories of couch-crashing and assorted misadventures from their earliest days. “To me that song’s a reminder of our resilience as a band,” says Walters. “It’s definitely not a situation where we get along great all the time—we’ve had to fight at deep, deep levels, but because of that our relationships with each other have gotten that much deeper too.”
For little image, the decision to start therapy stemmed from a desire to strengthen those relationships even further and protect the rarefied chemistry at the heart of their collaboration. “There’s a lot of ego involved in band dynamics, and it can be easy to let that interfere with what’s best for your overall vision,” says Simmons. “Therapy’s helped us to be more open and to give each other more grace, but it’s also helped us to understand this very unusual lifestyle we’ve all chosen to live and the difficulties that come with that. I think it’s something we’ll continue to do as we move forward, and I honestly feel like more bands should do it too.”
A formidable creative force, little image bring their limitless vision to every element of the band’s presentation, including designing their own stage lighting and taking a hands-on approach to all their visual assets. In the making of KILL THE GHOST, that DIY world-building has centered on the image of the rabbit, an inadvertent lyrical motif woven throughout the album. “When we looked back at the record and asked ourselves what the rabbit represents, it seemed to be a symbol of innocence and the true self, and the idea of striving for magic when it feels like everything in the world is trying to crush it,” says Walters. And by dreaming up their own strangely enchanted world on KILL THE GHOST, little image hope to inspire a similar striving among listeners. “At the end of the day, the goal of this band is to help people feel like they’re a part of something greater than themselves,” says Bruner. “The experience of feeling like you belong to something bigger than your own story ultimately creates freedom, and that’s what we want to offer everyone.”

Upon first listen to new music from Dallas alt-pop trio little image, you’ll probably find yourself asking, “With songs this well-constructed, how have I not heard of this band before?” That’s primarily by design, says drummer Troy Bruner.
“We’ve been playing music together for eight years, but it doesn’t look like we’ve been a band for eight years, and there’s a reason for that,” he explains. “This is the beginning.”
Throughout that near-decade, little image morphed from a group of perpetually online suburban teens who were obsessed with underground indie rock and had no idea what they wanted to be, into the tight-knit outfit you see today. (Along the way, Bruner toured with platinum-selling act Judah & The Lion.) While many young artists had their careers derailed in 2020 due to COVID, it actually managed to save little image, which was gearing up to announce itself to the world without realizing the members needed more time for reflection.
“It was a blessing in disguise,” Bruner says of lockdown. “We were about to jump into something we didn’t exactly have figured out.”
”More than half the record came out of that downtime,” frontman Jackson Simmons elaborates. “We got to hone in on some ideas. To be able to sit with them was really good.”
That extra time allowed the members of little image to fully expand on the promise of their early singles “WORTH IT” and “EGO,” exploring different ways to create a pop-rock song beyond the basic guitar/bass/drums template. This new burst of creativity led to a partnership with producer Chad Copelin, whose CV includes such sonically diverse artists as Third Eye Blind, Sufjan Stevens and 5 Seconds Of Summer. Simmons credits Copelin with creating a warm, nurturing studio environment that allowed each member to explore their influences.
“Something we talk about a lot is if little image could be anything, it would be a world people could live in,” comments bassist Brandon Walters. “It’s very important to us to create a world where someone can have a safe place to question things and not know the right answers and not have it all figured out.”
“It starts with the three of us,” Bruner continues. “We’re all best friends. If we can start there, which is how we love each other, that expands and a culture is created. At the end of the day, we make all of this so someone can go to a show and be impacted — socially, mentally, spiritually. We want to give them an opportunity to step into something bigger than them.”
Of course, all of this is moot unless you have the songs to back it up, Luckily, little image doesn’t lack in memorable moments. Their current single, the M83-esque indie-dance number “LUNGS BURN” is a diamond in a sea of gems:
“Taking a broad scope view of current culture and how damaging the idea of technology and the obsession with our self-image can be, ‘LUNGS BURN’ is an invitation to let go, be yourself, and be present instead of drowning yourself in your phone and the toxicities that exist there. The song is a cry for people to come together and experience something without those things in play, and truly feel something bigger than themselves.”
Then there’s the more guitar-oriented vibe of “BLUE,” a song spawned out of the past few years of political strife in America, described by Bruner as “a very special song to all of us.”
“What inspired ‘BLUE’ is that sometimes in our culture, things can be very, very loud and you can hear a lot of opinions,” Simmons begins. “We love to hear all kinds of sides, but instead of screaming and yelling, we take a back seat and just listen and try to find the voice of reason. I think if a lot of people would take that approach more often, there would be a lot less chaos going on. I respect the passion and the rebellion in some aspects of things, but sometimes you have to take a step back and say, ‘Let me learn from you.’”
This level of self-reflection is a rarity in music these days and is a testament to the work little image’s members do on themselves. (Therapy and journaling are among the topics that get brought up freely in conversation between the trio.) It’s part of what makes Bruner’s big-picture goal for little image so compelling.
“When bands headline Red Rocks in Colorado, they write their name backstage,” explains Troy. “This was probably not the right thing to do, karmically speaking, but when I played there with Judah & The Lion in 2019, I wrote half of our name — ‘little’ — and took a picture of where it was, so when we headline Red Rocks, we finish it off together.”
Together. If there’s a single word that can sum up little image — from their music to their mindset — that’s it.

JULY 10, 2026 – Texas-bred alt-rock trio little image continue to expand the world of their acclaimed sophomore album KILL THE GHOST, releasing a deluxe version of the album today with three new tracks. KILL THE GHOST Deluxe is out now on all platforms via Hollywood Records.
KILL THE GHOST marks a bold new era for the band following a year of growth and reinvention. The record explores transformation, resilience, and the pursuit of authenticity, capturing a moment of reckoning and renewal that turns chaos into clarity and self‑doubt into transcendence. Two brand-new tracks “THAT’S LIFE” and “THE NARCOLEPTIC” continue this thematic throughline for the band. The deluxe edition also contains a new acoustic version of their title track “KILL THE GHOST.”
Speaking of the new focus track, lead singer Jackson Simmons says, “”THE NARCOLEPTIC” is about waking up from the chronic sleep state of getting by. It’s a challenge to live in the present moment and a reminder that every minute is a gift. This song came together with a rare sense of ease. The song was written in just a few hours, and by the time we entered the studio, very little had changed. It felt complete from the start.
We set out to create something that felt nostalgic, we were all obsessed with bands from the 90s and the approach artists were taking during that time. We loved how those records relied on strong songwriting rather than heavy production, leaving room for the music to breathe.
After sitting in our Dropbox for a long time, “THE NARCOLEPTIC” has finally found its moment. It feels incredibly special to share it with the world, and it’s become one of our favorite songs we’ve ever made.”
The deluxe album arrives during a landmark chapter for little image, building on the momentum of the band’s breakout #1 Alternative radio hit “OUT OF MY MIND,” headline touring success, and support runs with artists including Panic! At The Disco, Bad Suns, almost monday, and Joywave.

On the video the band said: “Defcon is a song that needs to be experienced rather than explained. Just like the track itself, we wanted the video to be something you really have to sit with to feel. The raw emotion of battling a different version of yourself only felt possible by using a single person in the video. Sawyer Skipper did an incredible job directing and shooting this video to create that energy and make your body feel what you are seeing.”
Shot in Los Angeles, California and starring Koki Tomlinson, this video was made with a small but mighty crew. Sawyer and Koki rehearsed tirelessly to create the frame to frame matched moments you see throughout the video. This was a very difficult shooting tactic but creates the seamless battle between the two characters you see.”
A striking departure from the band’s previous visuals, the new piece does not feature little image directly. Instead, the video embraces a more conceptual, art-forward approach, unfolding as a visual experience designed to capture emotion and atmosphere over performance.
Designed as a subtle extension of the KILL THE GHOST universe, the visual follows a lone character through an increasingly surreal confrontation with himself, echoing one of the album’s central themes: identity, inner conflict, and the tension between who we are and who we allow ourselves to become. Though the band remains off screen, details throughout the piece, including wardrobe pulled from the broader KILL THE GHOST world, position the video as a side story that still connects naturally to the album’s larger creative universe.

Sawyer and Koki rehearsed tirelessly to create the frame to frame matched moments you see throughout the video. This was a very difficult shooting tactic but creates the seamless battle between the 2 characters you see.
On KILL THE GHOST, little image transformed a period of reflection and reinvention into their most expansive work yet. Across the album, the band explores self-sabotage, fear, emotional freedom, and the search for authenticity, turning chaos into clarity through a more guitar-driven and emotionally immersive sound.
Within that journey, “DEFCON” stands as one of the record’s most experimental moments, channeling the overwhelming sensation of panic and internal unrest into something hypnotic and cinematic. The visual then concludes with the album’s interlude “DOES IT GLOW FOR A CHANGE,” extending the emotional arc of “DEFCON” into a final moment of reflection.
The visual arrives during a landmark chapter for little image following the release of KILL THE GHOST, which builds on the momentum of the band’s breakout #1 Alternative radio hit “OUT OF MY MIND,” headline touring success, and support runs with artists including Panic!

In support of the album & new music video, the band are continuing on their KILL THE GHOST headline tour and will be kicking off the next leg of the tour June 5th in Tulsa, OK and hitting Los Angeles, CA at The Echo on June 12th. The tour follows their run with Bad Suns earlier this spring and will culminate in Saint Louis on June 20th at Off Broadway. Full tour dates are available here.

(Burbank, CA – March 27, 2026) Texas‑bred rock trio little image (Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner, Brandon Walters) release their sophomore album KILL THE GHOST today via Hollywood Records. The album marks a bold new era for the band following a year of growth and reinvention. Building on the themes introduced in recently released singles “KILL THE GHOST” and “REAL ESTATE” the record explores transformation, resilience, and the pursuit of authenticity, capturing a moment of reckoning and renewal that turns chaos into clarity and self‑doubt into transcendence.
KILL THE GHOST arrives after a breakout ascent that included a #1 Alternative radio hit (OUT OF MY MIND”), a U.S. headline run, and tours with Panic! At The Disco, Bad Suns, almost monday and Joywave. Rather than rushing into their follow‑up, the band took time to recalibrate, stepping away from the noise of momentum and, notably, going to therapy together to reconnect with one another and their creative intentions. That pause became the foundation for an album rooted in honesty, healing, and forward motion.
“As soon as we wrote ‘KILL THE GHOST,’ it became like a mantra for us,” says drummer Troy Bruner. “It’s a call to let go of whatever’s holding you back from being who you truly are, and we all felt passionate that it should be one of the defining statements for the album.”
“Therapy helped us give each other more grace,” says vocalist Jackson Simmons. “It’s helped us understand this very unusual lifestyle we’ve chosen and protect the chemistry that makes this band work. I honestly feel like more bands should do it.”
Mainly produced by longtime collaborator Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS) and recorded at his Oklahoma studio, KILL THE GHOST marks a sonic evolution for little image. Moving away from the synth‑heavy palette of their 2023 debut SELF TITLED, the band lean into a more guitar‑driven, story‑forward sound, a return to their roots as Dallas‑area suburban kids who bonded over underground indie rock, now sharpened by years of growth and experience.
The album opens with its title track, a larger-than-life anthem about confronting self-sabotage and stepping into emotional freedom. From there, little image explores both triumph and turmoil, from the haunting meditation on fear of abandonment in “THE REAPER” to the hypnotic anxiety of “DEFCON.” Elsewhere, “EASY TO LOVE” (co-written with Landon Jacobs of Sir Sly) balances brutal honesty with playful wit, while album closer “ALWAYS ENDS” offers a dreamlike reflection on the band’s journey, early misadventures, creative friction, and the deep bonds forged along the way.
Alongside the album, little image has released the official video for “THE REAPER,” written by Jeremy Lutito, Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner, and Brandon Walters, produced by Chad Copelin, and directed by longtime collaborator Sawyer Skipper.
About the video, Bruner says: “’THE REAPER’ quickly became our favorite song on the album because it carries so much of what it means to be human, grief, pain, loss, and the quiet weight of forgiveness. When it came time to make the video, we knew it had to carry the same gravity as the song itself.
While we were touring the UK, we came across an old church in the north surrounded by the shadow of an abandoned nuclear plant. It felt like the kind of place where this story could live. We shot the video on 16mm film with our longtime friend and director Sawyer Skipper – someone we’ve been creating with since we were kids. We cast an incredible actor named Neville Cann as The Reaper and asked a lot of him, because we only had one day to capture everything.
None of us knew if it would come together the way we imagined, but somehow every moment seemed to unfold exactly as it needed to. Looking back, it felt less like we were forcing something into existence and more like something quietly orchestrated itself around us.
More than anything, this song and video represent the reason we’re in a band at all, to remind ourselves and anyone who listens that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.”
Beyond the music, little image remains a formidable creative force, taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of their world, from designing their own stage lighting to shaping the album’s visual identity.
Throughout KILL THE GHOST, an inadvertent lyrical motif of a rabbit appears, symbolizing innocence, the true self, and the pursuit of magic in a world that often tries to crush it. “At the end of the day, the goal of this band is to help people feel like they’re part of something greater than themselves,” adds Bruner. “That feeling of belonging creates freedom, and that’s what we want to offer.”
In support of the album, little image hit the road this spring, kicking off a tour with Bad Suns on April 14, followed by their U.S. headline tour, KILL THE GHOST, launching May 6 in Cambridge, MA, and running through June. Full tour dates are available here.
Their dynamic live performances and growing fanbase continue to position little image as one of the most exciting acts in alternative music today. “REAL ESTATE,” one of the latest from little image, follows the band’s 2025 releases of “KILL THE GHOST,” “NOVOCAINE,” “RUN FOR FOREVER” and “THE PRESSURE” – five tracks written by the band after a year spent wrestling with personal and professional hurdles. Their debut album, SELF TITLED, dropped in May 2023 and catapulted the band into the spotlight, powered by the breakout single, “OUT OF MY MIND,” a chart-topping #1 on Alternative Radio.
Critics took notice. The Dallas Observer praised their versatility saying, “‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”

About little image:
Over more than a decade, Dallas trio little image has transformed from suburban kids obsessed with underground indie rock into the cohesive band they are today. Comprised of Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters (bass/synth), and Troy Bruner (drums), the trio truly came into their own during the 2020 lockdown.
This period allowed them to experiment with creating pop-rock music beyond the traditional guitar/bass/drums setup. Their creative surge led to a partnership with Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS), who provided a nurturing studio environment. This collaboration culminated in the release of their debut album, SELF TITLED, in May 2023, followed by a U.S. headline tour. The album, which tells a story of self-doubt, self-reflection, and self-love, scored the band their first #1 alternative radio hit, “OUT OF MY MIND.”
In 2025, little image released “REAL ESTATE,” “KILL THE GHOST,” “RUN FOR FOREVER” and “THE PRESSURE, the first tracks of new music since their debut, followed by “NOVOCAINE.” After a challenging year in 2024, the band channeled their experiences into writing and recording their next album.
little image has toured with Panic! At The Disco and Colony House, and performed at festivals like Shakey Knees, Float Fest, and Wonderbus Music & Arts Festival. In 2025, they completed a 20-city European tour with almost monday and a summer run supporting Bad Suns in late June. They also joined Joywave on their Here To Perform… Spring 2025 tour.
With more new music on the way, little image is poised to make 2026 another landmark year.

“‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
– Dallas Observer
(Burbank, CA – January 30th, 2026) Dallas-based rock trio little image kick off 2026 with the release of their deeply introspective new single and video, “REAL ESTATE,” available today on all streaming platforms. The track serves as the latest chapter in the band’s evolving narrative and offers a glimpse into their forthcoming album, KILL THE GHOST, arriving March 27th via Hollywood Records.
“REAL ESTATE” stands out as one of little image’s most intimate and expressive tracks, delving into the journey of personal growth and the quiet work of transformation. Written by Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner, Brandon Walters, and Abigail Jane Bruner, the song captures the tension of leaving old patterns behind and searching for clarity, weaving themes of reflection, renewal, and rediscovery into its core.
“’REAL ESTATE’ is one of the most personal and poetic songs we’ve written. It continues the story we began with the release of ‘KILL THE GHOST,’ shifting the focus to what happens after you’ve decided to grow beyond who you used to be. The song traces that quiet process of looking inward, uncovering what’s been buried, questioning old patterns, and rediscovering purpose in design.
Musically, ‘REAL ESTATE’ reflects that movement. The blend of major and minor chords creates a push and pull between tension and release, uncertainty, and clarity. The long instrumental
outro opens a space for the listener to sit with the emotions the song brings forward.
‘REAL ESTATE’ means a lot to us. It’s an invitation to experience our new album.”
– little image
Directed by Sawyer Skipper, the accompanying video uses night vision to create an eerie, intimate atmosphere that transforms ordinary moments into something surreal. As the visuals move into the woods, each member performs alone, reinforcing themes of isolation and introspection before converging for a powerful, atmospheric finale. The video relies on striking, metaphorical imagery rather than a traditional storyline, culminating in a surreal moment that amplifies the song’s emotional weight.
With this release, little image continues to expand their sonic and emotional palette, setting the stage for what’s to come. The upcoming album marks a bold new era for little image, following a year of growth and reinvention. Building on the themes introduced in their 2025 single “KILL THE GHOST,” the record explores transformation, resilience, and the pursuit of authenticity.
little image will launch their U.S. headline tour, KILL THE GHOST, on May 6th in Cambridge, MA, before wrapping on June 20th in Saint Louis, MO. (See full tour dates below.) Artist pre‑sale begins Tuesday, February 3rd at 10am local time, followed by venue/local pre‑sale on Wednesday, February 4th at 10am local time. Public on‑sale starts Friday, February 6th at 10am local time. Get tickets here.
The band spent 2025 captivating audiences across the globe, including a 20-city European tour with almost monday, a U.S. spring tour with Joywave, and a summer run supporting Bad Suns. Their dynamic live performances and growing fanbase continue to position them as one of the most exciting acts in alternative music today.

“‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
– Dallas Observer
(Burbank, CA – September 26, 2025) Today, Dallas alt-pop trio little image returns with their latest single and video, “KILL THE GHOST,” a powerful and introspective track that marks a bold new chapter in the band’s evolving sound. Written by Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner, Brandon Walters, Jeremy Lutito, and Caleb Chapman, the song explores themes of inner conflict, healing, and the metaphorical ghosts we carry. It is a continuation of the band’s journey through self-reflection and resilience.
“KILL THE GHOST” is an anthem that captures the never-ending struggle of the human spirit and its battle against itself. Often, the greatest obstacle to becoming who we’re meant to be is our own resistance. This song serves as an invitation to let go of what holds us back and to step into something greater than ourselves.”
– little image
Directed by the band’s frequent collaborator, Sawyer Skipper, the “KILL THE GHOST” video was shot entirely in night vision in the forests of Tennessee, giving it a raw, voyeuristic edge. As the video progresses, the band performs under a canopy of trees, surrounded by darkness and illuminated only by high-powered flashlights and stark single-source lighting. The result is a hauntingly intimate experience that echoes the emotional weight of the track, a cinematic portrayal of the band’s artistic evolution and emotional depth.
“I have been so lucky to work with little image for several years now, not only as collaborators but as best friends. Our videos are never just my vision or theirs; they are the result of a true team effort. Over the years we have faced plenty of challenges, but pushing through them together has only made us stronger and better at what we do.
The boys are making the best music of their career, and I am making the best videos of mine and I do not think that is a coincidence. ‘KILL THE GHOST’ marks a new chapter for them. It is bold, refined, and fully them. It’s a dream come true, what more could you ask for?”
-Sawyer Skipper

“‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
– Dallas Observer
(Burbank, CA – May 9, 2025) Dallas alt-pop trio little image returns with their latest track, “NOVOCAINE” – an exploration of numbing pain, avoidance, inner conflict, and the struggle with seeking temporary comfort. Written by Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner, Brandon Walters, and Andrew Goldstein, the song reflects the internal conflict and struggle between seeking external relief and facing one’s inner turmoil. The lyrics, “Doctor can you take this pain away? Or give me a shot of your novocaine” – is delivered with a sense of desperation, vulnerability and with the desire to escape emotional pain.
“’NOVOCAINE’ is a song that sheds light on the desire to numb your situation versus looking inward. The doctor is someone we look towards to ease our pain, so we don’t have to fight ourselves for rest. Musically, the tension of this song represents a big piece of our forthcoming music.”

“‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
– Dallas Observer
(Burbank, CA – March 28, 2025) Dallas alt-pop trio little image returns with their latest track, “RUN FOR FOREVER” – an exploration of longing, regret, and the restless search for fulfillment. Written by Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner, and Brandon Walters, the song dives into the emotional whirlwind of chasing something that may never be found. The evocative lyrics, “Give it all up just to catch a glimpse of what you could’ve had” – is delivered with a mix of nostalgia, hope, and the bittersweet ache of missed opportunities.
“’Run For Forever’ is a very special song to our band as it’s the very first thing we
wrote for our upcoming album. We live in a world where we all crave the innocence
and beauty of the human experience, but we have endless things in our life that we
think will fulfill us if we just keep running towards them. We run endlessly to chase
things that we think will fill the hole, sadness, depression, pain, etc., and end up never finding the answer. You want to ‘stop and look behind and see what you could have
had or could have been,’ remembering your pure/younger self. By the end of the
song, the hope is for a realization that the things we have been running towards
are not what we need to find freedom and purpose.”

About little image:
Throughout a near-decade, Dallas trio little image morphed from a group of perpetually online suburban kids who were obsessed with underground indie rock and had no idea what they wanted to be into the tight-knit outfit you see today. Made up of Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters(bass/synth) and Troy Bruner (drums), the trio truly blossomed during 2020’s lockdown.
That extra time allowed the members to fully expand on the promise of their early singles “WORTH IT” and “EGO,” exploring different ways to create a pop-rock song beyond the basic guitar/bass/drums template. This new burst of creativity led to a partnership with Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS). Simmons credits Copelin with creating a warm, nurturing studio environment that allowed each member to explore their influences and culminated in the May 2023 release of their debut album SELF TITLED followed by a U.S. headline tour that summer. The album was deliberately sequenced to tell a story of self-doubt, self-reflection and eventually, self-love, and it scored the band their first #1 single alternative radio hit with “OUT OF MY MIND.”

(January 27, 2025) Dallas alt-pop trio little image just announced their first round of U.S. tour dates in support of the recently released single “The Pressure.” Following the previously announced 20-city European tour run with almost monday, little image will hit the road stateside this spring supporting Joywave on their Here To Perform… Spring 2025 tour.
The 25-city U.S. tour run launches April 16 in New Haven, CT. The 20-city European run with almost monday begins March 1 in Madrid, Spain. (See full tour dates below.)
New track “THE PRESSURE,” dives deep, tackling themes of anxiety, isolation, and emotional burnout. “The song is about breaking at the seams,” says the band. “It’s a plea for help in the face of pressures too powerful to fight alone.” (LISTEN: SPOTIFY | APPLE MUSIC | AMAZON)
The accompanying music video, directed by Sawyer Skipper, visually embodies that tension. With stark, minimalist aesthetics, the band faces literal walls closing in-a fitting metaphor or the song’s themes. (WATCH)
The track marks the first glimpse of new music from little image in 2025, following a year spent wrestling with personal and professional hurdles. Their debut album, SELF TITLED, dropped in May 2023 and catapulted the band into the spotlight, powered by the breakout single, “OUT OF MY MIND” – a chart-topping #1 on Alternative Radio.
Critics took notice. The Dallas Observer praised their versatility saying, “‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
Stay tuned for more new music from little image.

About little image:
Throughout a near-decade, Dallas trio little image morphed from a group of perpetually online suburban kids who were obsessed with underground indie rock and had no idea what they wanted to be into the tight-knit outfit you see today. Made up of Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters(bass/synth) and Troy Bruner (drums), the trio truly blossomed during 2020’s lockdown.
That extra time allowed the members to fully expand on the promise of their early singles “WORTH IT” and “EGO,” exploring different ways to create a pop-rock song beyond the basic guitar/bass/drums template. This new burst of creativity led to a partnership with Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS). Simmons credits Copelin with creating a warm, nurturing studio environment that allowed each member to explore their influences and culminated in the May 2023 release of their debut album SELF TITLED followed by a U.S. headline tour that summer. The album was deliberately sequenced to tell a story of self-doubt, self-reflection and eventually, self-love, and it scored the band their first #1 single alternative radio hit with “OUT OF MY MIND.”

“‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
– Dallas Observer
(January 17, 2025) Dallas alt-pop trio little image is kicking off 2025 with the release of their new track “THE PRESSURE,” and a 20-city European tour run with labelmates almost monday. The tour launches on March 1 in Madrid, Spain. (See full tour dates below.)
Building on the synth/dance sounds the band is becoming known for “THE PRESSURE,” while sonically upbeat, lyrically the song touches on themes of mental and emotional struggle, capturing the weight of anxiety and isolation. “The song is about breaking at the seams,” says the band. “It’s a plea for help in the face of pressures too powerful to fight alone.”
Accompanying the release is the Sawyer Skipper directed music video. Shot in stark surroundings with the band narrowly escaping actual walls closing in on them, the video brings the song’s emotional themes to life.
“THE PRESSURE” is the first of new music coming from little image in 2025. Following an intense year personally and professionally, the band spent most of 2024 facing their demons through writing and recording the follow-up to their stunning debut album, SELF TITLED. Released in May 2023, the album featured the band’s first #1 hit on the Alternative Radio Chart with “OUT OF MY MIND.” Touring and accolades followed with the band named one of iHeart’s On The Verge Artist and hometown paper Dallas Observer writing, “From acoustic guitar arpeggios to danceable synth lines, what we know so far from the album proves an impressive reemergence for little image,” while The Honey Pop penned, “little image utilize alternative, acoustic, psychedelic, and mainstream pop influences to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.”
With more new music on the horizon, little image is gearing up to make 2025 another milestone year.

– Dallas Observer
Dallas alt-pop trio little image are back with new track, “STRANGE FRIENDS.” The release drops along with a music video directed by Sawyer Skipper.
“Strange Friends is a song that explores the stories and possibilities of the people in our lives. We like to keep our relationships inside a box that fits us neatly, but there is something beautiful and humanizing in being close with someone who has a completely different story than you. Even if it’s a little strange.”

Last year, the band reigned the Alternative Radio Chart with their first #1 single, “OUT OF MY MIND” and iHeart’s made them in On The Verge Artist
“OUT OF MY MIND” connected with fans, driving it all the way to #1 at Alternative Radio

LITTLE IMAGE ANNOUNCE THE SELF TITLED TOUR
DEBUT ALBUM SELF TITLED OUT NOW
“OUT OF MY MIND” APPROACHING TOP 10 AT ALTERNATIVE RADIO
L to R: Brandon Walters, Jackson Simmons, Troy Bruner
(credit: Chase Rowan)
“From acoustic guitar arpeggios to danceable synth lines, what we know so far from the album proves an impressive reemergence for little image.” – Dallas Observer
“…tight-knit Dallas trio little image have created music that goes beyond them on their new album.” – B-Sides
“little image utilize alternative, acoustic, psychedelic, and mainstream pop influences to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece” – The Honey Pop
“With their perfectly curated sound alt-pop group Little Image proves why their genre, with hints of electronic elements mixed in, will never go out of style.” – The Luna Collective
Today, Dallas alt-pop trio little image have announced their headline club tour, THE SELF TITLED TOUR with support from Hastings and Levi Evans. Dates kick off Wednesday, August 23rd in Birmingham, AL and will run through Tuesday, September 26th.
Tickets go on sale wide at 10 am local time this Friday, June 30th. For ticket information click HERE.
The tour announcement follows the recent release of their stunning debut album, SELF TITLED, via Hollywood Records.
SELF TITLED, produced in partnership with Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5 Seconds Of Summer) includes previously released, fan-favorite tracks, “LUNGS BURN,” “WORTH IT,” “EGO,” “BLUE,” and the punchy declaration of love, “OUT OF MY MIND.” The latter premiered on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation, was recently featured in an ad running on Hulu, and is currently #15 on Alternative Airplay. This year, the band was also added to iHeart’s premiere breaking artist program On The Verge – ALT. The group is currently receiving nearly half a million streams every week.

SELF TITLED doesn’t lack in memorable moments: From the hip-hop groove of “BALLET” to the electro-dance break in “WORTH IT” to the acoustic softness of “MAKEUP,” the album sonically delivers the goods. The M83-esque indie-dance number “LUNGS BURN” is a diamond in a sea of gems; the double-meaning lyrics of “OUT OF MY MIND,” a love song which Simmons describes as being about both their individual partners as well as their relationship as a band, has the potential to speak to millions of people. Then there’s the more guitar-oriented vibe of “BLUE,” a song spawned out of the past few years of political strife in America, described by Bruner as “a very special song to all of us.”
The result, SELF TITLED, is more than just a collection of 13 songs — it’s an actual album, deliberately sequenced to tell a story of self-doubt, self-reflection and eventually, self-love. But while the album is a document of its three members’ lives to this point, little image hopes to use it to connect with people across the globe

Today, Dallas alt-pop trio little image have released their stunning debut album, SELF TITLED, via Hollywood Records. In celebration of the record’s release, the band unveiled the cinematic video directed by Sawyer Skipper for album track “RUNWAY.” It’s an inherently simple concept of an open room with a focus on the band, in their signature painted-over suits, working and reacting together on a long red carpet. The video’s trippy cinematography and playful editing mimic the song’s eerie synths and vocal distortions leading into a cathartic celebration of tearing up the carpet, ripping up the pressure that comes from constant gazes of critics.
On the release, the band says, “The runway music video pokes at the simple yet important meaning into our record ‘SELF TITLED’. With it being the final single from the album, we wanted it to feel celebratory but also intentional. The idea of a blown up runway for us feels like the culture we are trying to create in this band and music. The reason we do this is to bring people together and not single ourselves out to be watched like hawks. The music industry can be like an intense, blinding light that never goes away. With the runway video, we found a way to get away from all that and be ourselves.”

RELEASE NEW SONG “BALLET”
DEBUT ALBUM SELF TITLED
OUT MAY 12TH VIA HOLLYWOOD RECORDS
(credit: Tyler Krippaehne)
Today, Dallas alt-pop trio little image unveiled “BALLET,” the latest offering from their upcoming debut album, SELF TITLED releasing May 12 via Hollywood Records. From introspective verses to the band’s signature atmospheric sound and catchy chorus, “BALLET” is a reflective portrayal of one’s inner struggle with body image, and has all the makings of an alternative rock smash.
About the song the band reflected, “’BALLET’ is a raw look into our own and our culture’s struggle with self image. We are constantly comparing and asking ourselves why we look the way we do, looking in the mirror and finding a deep longing to see something that is different from who we are. We hope this song can encourage people to love themselves beyond the ideology we have instilled in our brains that we must look a certain way, and remember nobody else can be you other than you.”

RELEASE NEW SINGLE
“BLUE”
Set to Open For Colony House on 2023 Tour
Buy Tickets HERE
(credit: Tyler Krippaehne)
Today, Dallas alt-pop trio little image released their new single, “BLUE” via Hollywood Records. Drawn from the political strife in America over the past few years, “BLUE” is a mission statement wrapped in electronic-tinged trippy pop that is entirely their own.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO “BLUE”
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BLUE ”
“What inspired ‘BLUE’ is that sometimes in our culture, things can be very, very loud and you can hear a lot of opinions,” the band says. “We love to hear all kinds of sides, but instead of screaming and yelling, we take a back seat and just listen and try to find the voice of reason. I think if a lot of people would take that approach more often, there would be a lot less chaos going on. I respect the passion and the rebellion in some aspects of things, but sometimes you have to take a step back and say, ‘Let me learn from you.’”
“BLUE” follows the release of the band’s “LUNGS BURN,” a song with a thumping electronic baseline pairing perfectly with the lead singer’s slinky falsetto – a culmination of pure, synth-driven dance rock joy.
In 2023, the group is set to embark on a U.S. tour opening for Colony House from February through April, full dates below. Tickets are on sale now, buy HERE. The band recently blew audiences away opening for Panic! At The Disco and played a headline show at Los Angeles’ The Moroccan Lounge.
little image is a Dallas based group that started playing music together for eight years and throughout that near-decade, the band morphed from a group of perpetually online suburban teens who were obsessed with underground indie rock and had no idea what they wanted to be into the tight-knit outfit you see today. While many young artists had their careers derailed in 2020 due to COVID, it actually managed to save little image, which was gearing up to announce itself to the world without realizing the members needed more time for reflection.
That extra time allowed the members of little image to fully expand on the promise of their early singles “WORTH IT” and “EGO,” exploring different ways to create a pop-rock song beyond the basic guitar/bass/drums template. This new burst of creativity led to a partnership with producer Chad Copelin, whose CV includes such sonically diverse artists as Third Eye Blind, Sufjan Stevens and 5 Seconds Of Summer. Simmons credits Copelin with creating a warm, nurturing studio environment that allowed each member to explore their influences.
little image are Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters (bass/synth) and Troy Bruner (drums).

INTRODUCING
RELEASE NEW SINGLE
Today, Dallas alt-pop trio little image release their first song of 2022, “LUNGS BURN” via their new home of Hollywood Records. A thumping electronic baseline pairs perfectly with the lead singer’s slinky falsetto as the track culminates with a yearning “What have I got to do?” “LUNGS BURN” is a culmination of pure, synth-driven dance rock joy.

About the song the band said, “Taking a broad scope view of current culture and how damaging the idea of technology and the obsession with our self-image can be, it’s an invitation to let go, be yourself, and be present instead of drowning yourself in your phone and the toxicities that exist there. The song is a cry for people to come together and experience something without those things in play, and truly feel something bigger than themselves.”
little image is a Dallas based group that started playing music together for eight years and throughout that near-decade, the band morphed from a group of perpetually online suburban teens who were obsessed with underground indie rock and had no idea what they wanted to be into the tight-knit outfit you see today. While many young artists had their careers derailed in 2020 due to COVID, it actually managed to save little image, which was gearing up to announce itself to the world without realizing the members needed more time for reflection.
That extra time allowed the members of little image to fully expand on the promise of their early singles “WORTH IT” and “EGO,” exploring different ways to create a pop-rock song beyond the basic guitar/bass/drums template. This new burst of creativity led to a partnership with producer Chad Copelin, whose CV includes such sonically diverse artists as Third Eye Blind, Sufjan Stevens and 5 Seconds Of Summer. Simmons credits Copelin with creating a warm, nurturing studio environment that allowed each member to explore their influences.
little image are Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters (bass/synth) and Troy Bruner (drums).
