American rock trio PLUSH have announced a new single, "Animalistic", due out on 14 August 2026, as the lead track from their second full-length album, "Mass Hysteria", which arrives globally on 18 September 2026 via Pavement Entertainment. Written by singer/guitarist Moriah Formica alongside Blair Daly and Zac Maloy, and produced by Kile O'Dell and Formica, the song deals with confronting inner rage, setting the tone for an album the band describes as their most mature and sonically aggressive work to date.

To support the release, PLUSH will run a nationwide "Mass Hysteria" tour starting on 13 August at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and closing on 9 October at the Grand Theatre Center for Arts in Tracy, California, with a VIP meet-and-greet package including an unplugged performance of an unreleased track. A merchandise bundle featuring an "Animalistic" T-shirt with a signed CD or vinyl is also available. The band, comprising Formica, bassist Ashley Suppa and drummer Faith Powell, has charted four times on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and previously toured with acts including Disturbed, Kiss, Alice In Chains and Evanescence.
