Energy Whores Return with Electrifying Protest Anthem “Hey Hey Hate!”

Released on July 7th, “Hey Hey Hate!” marks a bold return for Energy Whores, the NYC-based electro-punk-pop collective led by Carrie Schoenfeld. Known for their razor-sharp social commentary wrapped in gritty synths and infectious hooks, the band delivers another powerful punch with this defiant new single.

From the first beat, “Hey Hey Hate!” demands attention. With pulsating rhythms and a dancefloor-ready energy, the track dives headfirst into today’s deeply divided political and social climate. Schoenfeld’s sharp lyricism is front and center, challenging listeners to not just dance, but to think—and maybe even act.

Backed by guitarist Attilio Valenti, Schoenfeld continues to fuse genres and break rules, crafting music that’s as intellectual as it is visceral. Fans of protest music and danceable punk alike will find a lot to love in this latest offering. Drawing inspiration from legends like Dylan and Ochs while embracing the chaos of punk, disco, and avant-electronica, Energy Whores proves once again that music can move both body and mind.

“Hey Hey Hate!” also serves as a teaser for the duo’s upcoming full-length album Arsenal of Democracy, expected on vinyl in 2026. Until then, fans can look forward to more releases this summer, with visuals, live sessions, and tour announcements on the way.

Unapologetic, urgent, and undeniably catchy, “Hey Hey Hate!” is classic Energy Whores—fearless, thought-provoking, and ready to soundtrack a revolution.
