If you thought TX2 was going to slow down after selling out his debut UK and EU headline tour, think again. The rising Los Angeles rock disruptor just unleashed his new single The Rain, and it’s a storm of fury, heartbreak, and pure energy.
Fresh off the announcement that he’ll be hitting Download Festival 2026 and joining Ice Nine Kills, The Devil Wears Prada, and Creeper on their UK arena tour this December, TX2 is proving he’s not just another face in the crowd—he’s one of the most exciting names in the new wave of alt-rock.
Speaking about the track, TX2 admits, “The Rain is probably the pettiest song I’ve ever written. I was furious when I made it… someone betrayed me and my band, and this was my way of getting it out. Listening back, it’s definitely a ‘YIKES’ moment, but anyone who’s ever had their back stabbed will feel this one.”
And he’s not wrong. The Rain is emotionally charged, brutally honest, and unapologetically loud—everything you’d expect from an artist who’s made a career out of turning pain into purpose. It’s the kind of song you throw on when you need to scream the words out of your system.
TX2 (real name Evan Thomas) has never shied away from vulnerability. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, he’s made it his mission to tell real stories—ones that dig deep into the chaos of growing up, fitting in, and finding your voice. His movement, The X Movement, is all about mental health awareness and community—a safe space where fans can vent, connect, and lift each other up.
With over 1 million TikTok followers, TX2 has built a world where raw emotion and rebellion coexist. And with The Rain, he’s taking that ethos straight into the storm—proving once again that rock’s next generation has something real to say.
