Been Stellar Share Music Video for New Single “Breakaway”: Watch

 

New York band Been Stellar have shared their first single of 2025. The new song “Breakaway” is out now. The track is the band’s first release since their acclaimed debut full-length record Scream from New York, NY was released in summer 2024. Watch the official music video below.

“We needed to capture a few feelings with this song. Some mixture of sadness, anger, regret— and ultimately optimism,” said singer Sam Slocum. “When Sky first showed me the initial idea it struck me how punchy yet melodic it was. There were already a few emotions in the guitar part alone, so the words followed naturally and the song came to life. We quickly brought it into the studio with Aron (Kobayashi-Ritch) and recorded it together live.”

Been Stellar, made of members Slocim, co-founder and guitarist Skyler Knapp, bassist Nico Brunstein, and new drummer Gigi Giobbi, are about to perform at their first ever Primavera Sound in Barcelona. The festival kicks off a busy summer that finds the band touring again with Fontaines D.C. across Europe and the United Kingdom, plus playing numerous festivals.
