Nashville-based singer and songwriter Sam Varga reveals his new EP, The Fallout, out on all streaming platforms today. The seven-track collection brings together his recent run of singles alongside two brand-new songs, “What If I’m Okay?” and “Sticking With It.”

The Fallout finds Varga leaning deeper into his alt-country edge while holding tight to the raw vulnerability that has always set his music apart. It’s an EP that refuses to sit neatly in one lane, instead bringing together the grit of Americana, the restless drive of punk, the emotional urgency of emo, and the hook-driven immediacy of alt-pop. The result is a sound that feels both grounded and restless, with steel guitars rubbing up against jagged distortion and confessional lyrics unfolding with anthemic force.

“'The Fallout' represents the entire past year of my life," says Varga. “For me, it’s my emotional and social diary of 2025, and it’s allowed me to process the world around me—whether it be breakups, growth, or the political and social hellscapes of this year. It’s also the accumulation of my sonic development since moving to Nashville, with punk, country, singer-songwriter, and folk elements all dancing in rhythm. This project also puts to bed a lot of concepts I’m leaving behind: warring with myself, the self-deprecation, and any residual bitterness I’ve carried. I’m stoked that all of that was alchemized into something fun that just rips.”

Sam Varga is a Nashville-based artist blending his emo roots with Southern grit and singer-songwriter soul. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, he came up in the city’s DIY emo scene, cutting his teeth on loud guitars, basement shows, and late-night chaos. At home, his parents filled the house with ’80s rock, Southern staples, and classic lyricists, giving him a rich musical foundation. That mix of raw punk energy and emotional storytelling now fuels a sound that sits somewhere between alt-country and rock. It's gritty yet melodic, with acoustic textures and dynamic, genre-blurring instrumentation.

Addictive, sharp, and self-aware, Varga's music is emotionally unfiltered and unflinchingly human. Whether he’s unpacking existential dread or offering hard-won hope, his songs are made for long drives, post-party spirals, and those fleeting moments when you just need everything to make sense for a few minutes.
