Current Releases

"Leap of Faith" (Out Now): An optimistic, high-octane anthem anchored in a classic 2000s pop-punk sound. The song serves as a reminder that life is short, and that listeners should take a risk and embrace the unknown.

"Menthol Memories" (Releasing September 11, 2026): Donbald's upcoming single is about the emotional and physical distance of a long-distance relationship or friendship. Drawing cross genre inspiration from Donbald's years of listening to many artists, the track features massive suspense building before dropping into high-energy EDM-style breakdowns using heavy guitars. The energy is suppose to feel like to hold onto something that feels like it's pulling apart.

What's Next: After "Menthol Memories", another single is already lined up, leading into a full-length debut album currently in the pipeline.
