Social Gravy has always worn its heart on its sleeve, and “Rapture and Rupture” feels like one of those moments where emotion and intention collide in the most human way possible. Lifted from their forthcoming The Pebble EP, due in 2026, the single carries the weight of a restless spirit trying to do right — imperfect, honest, and deeply felt.
Built by Los Angeles duo Brad Kohn and Vee Bordukov, Social Gravy’s self-proclaimed romantic rock’n’roll identity rings true here. The track leans into their knack for sharp guitar work paired with melodic sensibility, letting tension and release play off each other rather than rushing to easy resolution. There’s a sense of inner conflict running through the song — the push and pull between hope and fracture — which gives “Rapture and Rupture” its emotional edge.
What makes the single land is how natural it feels within the band’s wider catalog. Social Gravy has spent years refining a sound that balances accessibility with sincerity, and this track continues that tradition without feeling calculated. It’s reflective but not heavy-handed, polished without losing its grit — the kind of song that sits comfortably between modern rock playlists and late-night headphone listening.
As a preview of The Pebble, “Rapture and Rupture” hints at a project shaped by vulnerability rather than volume alone. It’s another reminder that Social Gravy knows how to speak to the heart while still delivering something that moves, grooves, and sticks with you long after the last chord fades.
‘Rapture and Rupture’ is rock with real weight, and a melody that lingers
