Machine Gun Kelly And Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon Debut a New Song In LA

Machine Gun Kelly and Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon debuted a new song named ‘Maybe’ in Los Angeles on Friday (March 4). The two musicians performed at the Avalon in Hollywood’s Emo Nite, a long-running club event.

Kelly and Sykes are seen on stage at the event in fan-shot film while an unreleased song plays over the PA. The pair sang along to parts of the song, which includes lines like “I think I’m broken, nothing can fix me” and “Made up my mind this evening, I’m taking the last, I’m taking the last.” 

“We love you guys,” Kelly told the audience when the song ended. “Can’t wait for the new album, ‘Mainstream Sellout’, out March 25.” 

The rapper-turned-pop-punk singer has yet to reveal the tracklist for his forthcoming album, but ‘Maybe’ might be included alongside other collaborations such as ‘Ay’ with Lil Wayne and ‘Emo Girl’ with Willow Smith. Wayne mentions Guns N’ Roses in his verse on ‘Ay,’ which was released this week.

‘Born With Horns’ was the initial title for ‘Mainstream Sellout,’ but it was changed early this year. Kelly and Travis Barker, the album’s executive producer, both have tattoos of the album’s original title.

Meanwhile, Bring Me The Horizon paid tribute to Ukraine during their closing set at the BandLab NME Awards 2022 on Wednesday (March 2).

“I guess it’s better being here in a room full of influential people: they need to use their voice every single day until this crisis is over,” Sykes told the audience before the band’s final song ‘Throne’. “If Kyiv does not survive, international peace will not survive.”
