Your Best Nightmare returns with a sassy, ukulele-driven anthem that shouts the quiet parts out loud.
Hailing from New Jersey, Your Best Nightmare has built a reputation on a beautiful contradiction.
They are a trio, Jeanne on drums, Josh on bass, and Erin on vocals and uke, that cultivates a genre-bending landscape where folk, punk, and goth coalesce.
Their sound is built on the unlikely foundation of a bubbly ukulele tone, sharp-tongued lyrics, and hauntingly beautiful melodies, creating a captivating tension that is entirely their own.
They are artists who defiantly colour outside the lines, and their latest single, ‘Rosie,’ is a perfect testament to their mission.
Released November 4, 2025, ‘Rosie’ is a sassy, anthemic banger that continues the band’s crucial work of de-stigmatising mental health with brutal honesty and catchy hooks.
In a world obsessed with being Instagram-ready, ‘Rosie’ is the defiant shout through a distorted megaphone, a track that refuses to quiet the parts we’re often told to hide.
The song soars with a declaration that feels both vulnerable and powerful: “I am anxious, I am nervous.” This isn’t a whispered confession; it’s a rallying cry set to a relentless, ukulele-fuelled punk energy.
True to the band’s form, ‘Rosie’ is darkness infused with joy and a whole lot of spunk.
The track balances its heavy lyrical themes with an infectious, danceable rhythm, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts catharsis and dance party.

It’s a sonic representation of finding power in one’s own perceived flaws.
The band’s unique alchemy is on full display. Erin’s vocals weave between sweet melody and a punk snarl, all anchored by the driving, primal rhythm section.
‘Rosie’ embodies that one friend who says exactly what they’re thinking, makes you feel seen, and dares you to do the same.
It’s another uncompromising and utterly captivating chapter from Your Best Nightmare, a band that reminds us that the most potent anthems are born from unfiltered truth.
