TX2, London

TX2 biography

TX2, started by lead singer/songwriter Evan Thomas out of Fort Collins Colorado, is known for their emo, pop punk and metal-core music. They've seen a lot of controversy via TikTok, X and Instagram since 2023 when a clip of the song “I would hate me too" went fairly viral, which got the attention of record label Hopeless records. TX2 signed to Hopeless in July of 2023 and has 12 singles and 1 EPs out under the label. They’re also still under fire for their song “Randy McNally (No Love Like Christian Hate)”, which is openly against Christian homophobia and involvement in the American Government. More recently, the band Ice Nine Kills got dragged into the hate for touring and releasing the song “MAD” with them. Similarly, Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides has been attacked for defending TX2 on X. Most of their controversies surround Thomas using rage bait to get views, being a “poser”, and being the forefront of the band. They’ve also been under fire for supposedly stealing music from band Get Scared, which is false, and using a TikTok as part of the song “Vendetta (ft Johnny 3 Tears)”, which also isn’t true, the audio in the song was voiced by the guitarists sister. The original audio was from a TikTok and said “If I have to hear TX2 talk about ‘goth dommy mommies’ one more time, I’ll shoot myself” in regards to his satire content. The audio was referenced in the song along with the lyrics “do it”, which many people found distasteful. In a video about this, Thomas misgendered the TikToker multiple times, but corrected himself from then on once finding out their pronouns. The video itself is about Thomas making jokes about fetishizing “goth dommy mommies”, which he seems to have stopped months ago. The band has been very vocal about LGBTQ representation and being allies and a part of the community, playing at protests and speaking about LGBTQ rights at their shows. They also use their YouTube and TikTok platform to spread this message, along with their support of mental health and the like. The other members of the band are: Guitarist and backup vocals - Cameron “Cam” Rostami @superblood_cam), Thomas’ best friend and roommate, he also has his own music under the name “Superblood”. Bass player - Courtney “Corky” Howard (@corky_lee_), the most recent addition to the band. She has her own music under the name “Corky”. And on Drums - Sam Palombo (@sampalombo). He’s been under accusations of his own, based around him supposedly constantly being on drugs because of how he moves and acts. Thomas spoke out about this on X, saying “People have accused my drummer of being on drugs for the way he acts and moves. Homie is just autistic. Chill lmao” Some of their most popular songs include “Randy McNally (No Love Like Christian Hate)”, “Vampire by Rumor”, “MAD (ft Ice Nine Kills)”, and “Black Wedding”. The songs are mostly written about Thomas’ experiences, past issues, and injustices he “feels he has the right to talk about”. Hits such as “Pull the Plug” and “6 seconds left” are examples of this, both being written about mental health issues. After 10 years of TX2 being formed, Thomas has said "I have finally found my band members who care for me, and I care for them." TX2 has amassed almost 500k monthly listeners on Spotify, 900k followers via TikTok and 170k followers via Instagram (@tx2offical), as well as a Discord server known as the X Movement as a place for fans to make friends and have a safe space. The band continues to grow, touring and releasing new music consistently.
