Tummyache is a project that blurs the line between band and personal confession, a raw and enigmatic expression crafted by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Soren Bryce. Since its inception in 2018, Tummyache has carved out a space in the DIY scenes of both the United States and the UK, resonating with listeners who feel the weight of systemic struggles and societal expectations. Bryce’s music pulls no punches; her lyrics confront issues of class, privilege, and inner conflict, inviting listeners to face the harsh realities she lays bare.

Fake New, the third album from Tummyache, is a sharp introspective critique of the digital age. Through a mix of raw instrumentation and pointed lyrics, the record explores how social media, technology, and the constant churn of online culture have distorted human connection, eroded truth, and reshaped the way we see ourselves and each other. Releasing August 8, 2025, the hope for Fake New is to encourage listeners to explore how to dismantle authoritarian technology and reclaim community.
