She’s going out on tour this fall with Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Starset
Rising alt-rocker Kami Kehoe has confirmed her upcoming album LOVE IS A WEAPON. The record arrives on August 28 via Atlantic Records. To celebrate the announcement, Kami has revealed another new single from the record called “THE END.” Following the runaway success of her KANDY EP, which racked up millions of streams and over 100 million views in short form content, Kami Kehoe continues to raise the stakes with LOVE IS A WEAPON, a full-length album rooted in a defining truth: love can destroy you, or it can rebuild you.
Check out the album’s cover art and tracklisting below, plus a link to pre-order.
Exploring the duality of love as both a source of empowerment and destruction, LOVE IS A WEAPON finds Kami Kehoe turning heartbreak, vulnerability, and resilience into 15 tracks that lean into danger and desire. Pivoting away from her “KANDY” EP, which chronicled heartbreak and healing,”THE END” builds on the central theme of devotion on the upcoming record, finding Kami Kehoe in the aching promise of loving someone throughout distance, doubt and everything in between.
Speaking to the heart of “THE END”, Kami Kehoe shares:
““THE END” is inspired by a ride or die type of relationship. I wrote this when I was with someone who was with me, before I became successful and was willing to stay until the end, no matter how difficult things got. I wanted the song feel like a promise. That I would do everything I said once I had everything to give them.
I’m so excited for this song to be out, I think it’s a beautiful and real love song for all the ride or die’s out there. This is also one of my favorite songs to play live and I can’t wait to sing it with everyone for these upcoming shows.”
On the deeper world behind LOVE IS A WEAPON, Kami Kehoe adds:
“I wrote LOVE IS A WEAPON during a time when I was learning that love isn’t just one thing. It can break you, heal you, protect you, and completely change who you are. Every song comes from a real place in my life, but I hope people hear their own stories in it too. Throughout this album, I wanted to use my experiences, good or bad, and turn them into something beautiful. I truly believe our hearts are the most powerful weapon we have, and it’s up to us how we choose to use it but at the end of the day love always wins. I hope this album reminds everyone that they aren’t alone, and I hope it inspires them to choose love at the end no matter what.”
Hot on the heels of her latest singles “DIRTY”, “PSYCHO”, smash hits “DOPAMINE” and “FADE OUT,”, and a nationwide tour supporting Daughtry, Seether, and P.O.D. (which saw her regularly invited to join them on stage), Kami continues to cement her place as one of the genre’s most magnetic rising voices. Named as one of Pandora’s Artists to Watch in 2026 (The Pandora Ten) and continuing to rack up spins on Sirius XM’s Octane, Kami is set to take on some of the country’s biggest stages this fall as support for Breaking Benjamin.
With signature gritty guitars, atmospheric production, and Kami’s evocative vocals, her smash hit, “FADE OUT” closed out 2025 as one of her most emotionally charged releases to date. The track capped off her “KANDY” EP era that documented the full arc of heartbreak and healing, garnering millions of streams, 100 million views in short form content, and viral popularity worldwide. Her hit single, “DOPAMINE”, earned over 30 million streams and hit #11 on Sirius XM Octane’s “Big Uns” Countdown, spotlighting her growth in the modern rock landscape.
Carving out her own space in the alt-rock world, Kami Kehoe has impressively amassed over 105 million streams and more than 2 million social media followers by blending a sultry, velvety vocal with a hard-charged rock energy. Since breaking out with the viral hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD”, she has continued to evolve her sound—infusing shoegaze, metal, and hip-hop influences into her music while remaining unapologetically authentic.
Adding to an already landmark year, Kami will be joining rock’s most established names at Rock Fest (WI) this weekend before embarking on a run alongside Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Starset for a nationwide tour this fall, hitting Louisville’s iconic Louder Than Life Festival along the way.
