NOSHOWS RELEASES NEW SINGLE “DON’T LOOK DOWN” AHEAD OF DEBUT ALBUM MADHOUSE, OUT OCTOBER 16
For NYC alternative artist Noshows, “Don’t Look Down” is about what happens when ambition and fear collide. Arriving as the latest single from his forthcoming debut album MADHOUSE, out October 16, the track captures the uneasy moment when looking back is no longer an option, but moving forward still requires a leap of faith.
“‘Don’t Look Down’ is about being so afraid of falling that you forget to enjoy how far you’ve climbed. It lives in that moment between fear and curiosity—when you know the truth might shake you, but you also know you can’t keep making the same excuses. Sometimes you’ve just gotta go all in and trust yourself enough to take the jump.”- Max Satow
This drop follows a run of releases that has steadily revealed the emotional architecture of MADHOUSE. Songs including “FOMO,” “Last Resort,” “Fall Apart,” “I Don’t Want It,” and “The Loop” have explored anxiety, identity, addiction, emotional survival, and the internal conversations people rarely say out loud. On “Don’t Look Down,” that restlessness turns outward: fear is still present, but so is the possibility of choosing something different.
The single arrives as Noshows prepares to release MADHOUSE on October 16, his debut full-length album. The project brings together the genre-blurring alternative rock, punk, hip-hop, and deeply personal songwriting that have defined Noshows to date, with collaborators including two-time GRAMMY winner Marc Swersky and mixer Seth Von Paulus.
Noshows is also announcing the MADHOUSE TOUR, a four-city run beginning October 14 in New York City and continuing through Syracuse, Hudson, and Boston, with special guest Belle Blue. The tour places the album release itself in the middle of the run, with MADHOUSE arriving October 16 as Noshows takes the project from record to stage.
