When they don't see what you see, do you let go or hold on? Petey USA kicks off 2025 with Model Train Town, a high-energy, emotionally charged single that blends his signature mix of angst, humor, and raw vulnerability. Produced by Chris Walla, the track explores the frustration of loving something—or someone—when those closest to you just don’t get it. The official video, directed by William Crane, adds another layer to Petey's world, marking the first time a character from his viral comedy skits appears in a music video. Puff Sullivan—the cigarette-smoking dropout—arrives to shake things up, throwing Petey’s bond with his hodag companion into question. As reality warps into a dreamlike apocalypse, the video walks the line between absurdity and sincerity, a perfect match for Petey’s storytelling.
Following a massive 2024, including sold-out headline shows, festival appearances, and performances alongside Blink-182, Zach Bryan, and Two Door Cinema Club, Petey USA is set for an even bigger year. He joins Hippo Campus on select dates this February, then heads overseas for a UK/EU headline tour kicking off in Dublin. Later this summer, he’ll hit the road supporting Rainbow Kitten Surprise. With explosive vocals and an anthemic build, "Model Train Town" offers fans a glimpse into Petey’s highly anticipated upcoming album.
