FFO: Breaking Benjamin, Wage War, Shinedown
Sakoya announce their stunning new single ‘Strangers’, out 12th June via Adventure Cat Records.
“Strangers captures the defiant act of cutting someone out emotionally,
declaring that a person who once meant everything will mean nothing from here on. It’s about the contradiction of hoping for release from a love you claim no longer has power over you, doing the slow work of willing yourself into indifference. The song sits in that strange territory between still being wounded and refusing to admit it, which is exactly where so many people land after a love that didn’t end cleanly.” – Sakoya
Busting out of Indiana in the heartland of America comes Sakoya, an outfit ready to take the scene by storm. This American hard rock band sports a polished, refreshing sound bound to get stuck in heads. Vocalist Alex Nauth fronts Sakoya with the backbeat of drummer Josh Randolph and catchy riffs of guitarist Mike Dobbs.
Sakoya provides elements of 2000’s rock/metal with a modern spin, giving a potent, aggressive delivery with meaning behind the tunes. With captivating choruses and memorable melodies, Sakoya’s anthemic brand is quickly on the rise after their 2025 EP ‘New Man’. Now, SAKOYA’s new music in 2026 already has fans itching for more; their first single “Some Things Never Change” is already making waves in the rock community, with more this year to come as the band has been writing with Breaking Benjamin’s Keith Wallen.
