Alternative rock duo PEAKS! is excited to announce the release of their digital EP, MODERN WORLD SURVIVORS II, out now via FLG. In addition, a new track, “LEECHER,” is out now, accompanied by a lyric video, available to view below.

“’LEECHER’ is a scream disguised as a song – born from the urge to call out the toxic patterns we sometimes tolerate. It’s about those people who feed off your energy, twist your words, and hide behind false concern while pulling the strings. We’ve all met someone like that. This track is about waking up to it – seeing the manipulation clearly and refusing to play along anymore.“

“Lyrically, it’s sharp, sarcastic, and rooted in truth, not just anger, but clarity. There’s freedom in naming things for what they are and breaking the roles others try to put you in. Sonically, it hits hard: distorted, punchy, relentless. Every riff is designed to cut through the noise like a slap to the face”, they added. “‘LEECHER’ is a statement: I see you, I’m done, and I won’t shrink to make you comfortable.”

“MODERN WORLD SURVIVORS II is for anyone who’s ever felt too much in a world that listens too little. It’s for the gaslit, the shutdown, the ones who’ve been guilt-tripped into silence – and still found a way to make noise. Each track is a snapshot of resistance: ‘LEECHER’ confronts manipulation with venom and truth; ‘BAD DECISIONS’ embraces the beautiful mess of recklessness; ‘MORPHIA’ howls from the edge of numbness, and ‘DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU’ goes straight for the throat of hypocrisy.“

“This EP lives in the tension between chaos and clarity. The lyrics are confessional, confrontational, sometimes self-destructive – but never hollow. They’re laced with irony, pain, and the raw need to break free from anything fake, expected, or imposed.“

“Musically, it’s cathartic and intimate: distorted guitars, punchy rhythms, and haunting melodies form a wall of sound that feels like fists against the walls and voices breaking through static. It’s a darker, more resolved end to the storm we started in Part I – less about survival, more about defiance. We didn’t write these songs to be safe. We wrote them to feel alive. If you’ve ever felt like the only sane person in a twisted system – this one’s for you.”
