Awaiting Abigail is out with a new single, “I Hate You,” a hard-hitting, groove-driven anthem tackling the toxicity of gossip, drama, and bullying in schools and workplaces. Fueled by a powerful 6/4 halftime breakdown, blistering guitar solos, and a cathartic closing rant, the track is a no-holds-barred response to pettiness and backstabbing—and it ensures that the bully gets what’s coming in the end.
At its core, “I Hate You” is a punk-infused alt-rock rebellion, channeling raw emotion through pounding rhythms, searing riffs, and Abigail Hill’s commanding vocals. The song’s energy builds steadily, culminating in a heavy, stomping breakdown that mirrors the frustration and ultimate release of standing up to toxicity. It’s not just a song—it’s a sonic battle cry against the destructive power of rumors and backstabbing.
Awaiting Abigail is more than just a new band—it’s the revival of a musical history. The group is part reunion, part new beginning, with members Heather, James, and Laurie reconnecting after playing together in Lost Reality during the mid-to-late ’90s. Their backgrounds in punk, metal, and jazz create a dynamic blend of influences, giving Awaiting Abigail a distinct and unpredictable edge.
Joining them is the father-daughter duo of Mike and Kori Tolfa, adding a fresh dynamic to the band’s chemistry. The final missing piece was Abigail Hill, a powerhouse vocalist and actress whose theatrical background brings both emotion and fire to every lyric. Meeting in mid-2024, the band instantly recognized Abigail as the perfect frontwoman—her versatility and stage presence elevating their music to new heights.
With “I Hate You,” Awaiting Abigail delivers a bold, high-energy statement that refuses to back down. Their blend of raw rock attitude, groovy breakdowns, and theatrical intensity makes them a band to watch in the alt-rock and punk scene.
This is just the beginning—if “I Hate You” is any indication, Awaiting Abigail is ready to shake things up, take no prisoners, and make some serious noise. Connect with Awaiting Abigail on Instagram and Spotify
