Coilguns is unveiling today the music video and single for the title track »Everything We Love, We Destroy«, a true hardcore noise-punk anthem that lends its name to the new album.
Music video for »Everything We Love, We Destroy« was directed by Nathan Jucker.
The single is also available on all digital platforms.
About the single »Everything We Love, We Destroy«:
The band comment: “It’s been more than a decade now that our countries have agreed on a deal they’re not respecting. We wrote this paradoxical yet simple song to mark the tenth anniversary of the Paris Climate Accords. Why are we not able to act accordingly on our promises? Why are we always destroying what we love? How can 2026 be the actual future of 2016?
We imagined this song in two parts: the first one bouncing from sadness to anger like a pendulum, as if repeating things would prevent us from remaining idle. The second unfolds likea crepuscular coda for the wretched world that awaits us – a wide wasteland fed with new hopes and calling for remission.
We recorded the drums using two completely different rooms and kits: one with a very tight, in-your-face sound, the other in a large empty warehouse for a much wider, more diffuse atmosphere. That contrast follows the emotional arc of the song, with the drum sound itself shifting halfway through. It all starts with a single drum fill that gradually became the backbone of the entire arrangement. It never really steps into the spotlight, but if you pay attention, you can hear it evolve and quietly tie the whole song together.”

About the music video:
Nathan Jucker is Coilguns vocalist Louis Jucker’s brother, but first and foremost a brilliant stop-motion artist. We’d been waiting for the right opportunity to work together, and Jessica Vaucher’s handmade artwork felt like the perfect starting point to bring her embroidery to life – literally turning it into the red thread running through a short film.
We like to hold on to the optimistic, almost utopian idea that, faced with the destruction modernity seems determined to complete,a little red thread of love might still be enough to stitch the pieces back together. It’s naïve, sure, but it helps us face reality without giving up. We hope it leaves people with a little hope and the energy to keep fighting.
Line up on this track:
Kevin Galland – Bass, Backing Vocals, Keys • Luc Hess – Drums, Percussions • Louis Jucker – Vocals, guitars, keys • Jonathan Nido – Guitars, Backing Vocals
About Coilguns:
Initially coming from the DIY hardcore scene, Coilguns have since then crafted their very own blend of punk and ecstatic noise-rock. They are known for their raw, uncompromising and euphoric live performances, proudly serving the dancing freaks and the crowd-surfing weirdos.The band history is deeply bound to the development of guitarist Jona Nido’s own label – Humus Records – that now gathers up to 170 releases from Swiss artists of all sonic horizons. Though most of their first albums were 100% self-produced, engineered and mixed by the band members, Coilguns drove in the summer of 2022 to end-of-the-world’s Oceansound Recordings in Norway with producer Scott Evans to track their fourth studio album »Odd Love«, later mixed by Grammy-nominated producer Tom Dalgety. Released in November 2024, the album marked a turning point for the band and led to their most extensive touring cycle to date, with over 85 shows played worldwide in 2025. Stoked by this unexpected exposure, the band couldn’t wait to write and record a fifth album, and managed to sneak it in between tours.
