Presley & Taylor Release New Single 'Bands Breakup' With a Petty Twist on Heartbreak
The country duo channels classic Tom Petty vibes on their latest breakup anthem.
Nashville-based country duo Presley & Taylor released a new single, BANDS BREAKUP, on July 24, 2026, a track that trades the conventional breakup anthem format for a string of petty misfortunes wished upon an ex, including his team losing, his truck breaking down, and his favorite band splitting up. Written by Presley & Taylor with songwriter Canaan Smith and Andrew Beason, and produced by Andrew Baylis, the song blends country storytelling with early-2000s pop-punk energy and is described as part of a broader new season of music from the sibling act.
Written by Presley & Taylor alongside hit songwriter Canaan Smith ('Love You Like That,' 'Hole in a Bottle,' 'Runaway') and Andrew Beason, 'BANDS BREAKUP' channels the unapologetic attitude of early Carrie Underwood heartbreak anthems but reimagined for 2026 with a modern edge and arena-sized energy. Produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Koe Wetzel, etc.), the hook-heavy track blends infectious melodies with razor-sharp lyrics, transforming the classic revenge-song formula into something authentic, relatable and irresistibly fun.
'We wrote it about one ex that traumatized us, because when you mess with one of us, you mess with us both,' they laugh. 'It's funny to sing this song now because we're both happily married. Sometimes you just have to get it all out on paper before you move on and find the right one— this was one of those breakups.'
'BANDS BREAKUP' is the fourth single since the duo teamed up with Baylis, following 'STING,' 'OUT OF THIS DODGE' and the autobiographical ballad 'THE KIND OF GIRL,' which sends an embracing message to the millions of country fans worldwide that aren't native to the South.
Presley & Taylor have taken stages all across the country, building their base and honing their craft and expanding their audience. They've recently shared stages with Wyatt Flores and Treaty Oak Revival at Country Stampede and are slated to join Tracy Lawrence on tour this fall. With more new music on the way, the twosome will be telling their life's story and wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
