WHATMORE Brings the Heat with New Single “On Site”

If you’ve been hunting for that one track to soundtrack the rest of your summer, New York’s own WHATMORE might have just dropped it. Their latest single, “On Site,” is a high-energy, sun-drenched anthem that proves exactly why this collective is currently impossible to ignore in the alternative scene.

A Perfect Blend of City Energy

Since their 2025 debut, the five-piece—Cisco Swank, Yoshi T., Jackson August, Sebastiano, and Elijah Judah—have been refining a sound that feels distinctly “them.” “On Site” hits that sweet spot perfectly.

It’s not trying too hard to be one thing; instead, it effortlessly mashes together:

• Crisp, hip-hop-inspired percussion that keeps the rhythm grounded.

• Shimmering synth melodies that feel like a sweltering July day in the city.

• Hooks that stick in your head after just one listen.

It’s the kind of song that sounds just as good blasting through car speakers as it does coming through your headphones while you’re walking through the streets. There’s a natural, carefree chemistry here—which makes sense, considering these guys have been friends since high school.

Why They’re Picking Up Steam

WHATMORE has spent the last year refusing to be boxed into one genre, moving fluidly between hip-hop, alt-R&B, and indie rock. Between a packed touring schedule and big-time festival sets at Coachella and Governor’s Ball, they’ve earned a reputation for being an act that actually brings real, raw energy to the stage.

They’ve been getting a lot of love from places like The New York Times and The FADER for their ability to bottle up that feeling of youthful camaraderie without sounding clinical or rehearsed. With “On Site,” they’re showing they aren’t slowing down—they’re just getting better at their craft.

Catch Them on the Road

If you’re feeling the vibe, you’ll have a chance to catch them live at Reading & Leeds this August. If you’ve seen any footage of their recent shows, you know it’s worth going just for the energy alone.

“On Site” isn’t over-produced or trying to follow some algorithmic trend; it’s just a solid, fun track that captures a specific moment in time.
