Featured Tune: "Vampire Bride" from The Raspberry Jams

Dark Desires and Fuzzy Guitars: The Raspberry Jams Sink Their Teeth In

The Raspberry Jams’ latest single, Vampire Bride, is a moody, fuzzed-out love letter for the melodramatic goth in all of us—and it absolutely slaps. Re-recorded for their debut album Kitty Cat Fever, this version leans harder into their art-punk instincts, with a brooding bassline that stalks you like a bloodthirsty prom date.

From the first crunchy guitar riff, there’s a kind of cinematic hunger here. You can feel it in the stalking rhythm, the echoey howls, and those shadowy chord progressions that suggest both longing and danger. The song wears its Twilight-inspired heart proudly on its sleeve, but it doesn’t fall into parody. Instead, it pulses with sincerity—a raw, slightly deranged devotion to the idea of being the one. The chosen. The Vampire’s Bride.

Vocally, there’s a haunted, almost pleading energy—like someone standing in the rain outside your window at 3 a.m., roses in hand, teeth bared. It’s romantic, but unhinged in the best way.

If you're into darkly-tinged indie rock that knows how to flirt with both obsession and melody, Vampire Bride will be your new anthem. It’s not just a song—it’s a bite, a promise, and a midnight vow you might regret, but will absolutely replay. Hard.
