MOD SUN has released his highly anticipated album Internet Killed The Rockstar.
The album, produced by John Feldmann (5 Seconds of Summer, The Used, Panic At The Disco), kicks the door open to a brand new chapter of MOD SUN’s storied career. Looking back to the Blink-182 posters on his wall, Drive-Thru records in his CD player, and beginning of his musical career drumming on the Vans Warped Tour, it only makes sense that MOD would return back to his roots for a punk-rock infused album.
Internet Killed The Rockstar began four years ago after working on Hotel Motel with blackbear. Since then, MOD has written over 1,300 songs, including one just weeks before today’s release to get to the 11-track album we have today. Standout tracks include “Rollercoaster”, co-written by rapper and songwriter Gashi, and “Smith”, the gut-wrenching tribute to MOD’s father who passed away last April. The album truly paints the picture of who MOD SUN is today while looking back at everything that got him to this point.
While working on Internet Killed The Rockstar, MOD co-wrote and directed hit viral film Downfalls High with frequent collaborator Machine Gun Kelly, which features Travis Barker, Chase Hudson, Sydney Sweeney, and an all-star ensemble cast. Released January 15 to global acclaim, Downfalls High received more than 16 million views opening weekend.
