Sarina pours one out for the misfits in her new single and video Toast To The Broken — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The rising pop-punk singer’s latest single is a long-overdue and deserved moment of recognition for society’s outliers. Produced by Kevin Thrasher, the song speaks to those searching for a distraction from painful feelings.
Sarina has made a name for herself with her relatable lyrics and emotional storytelling that touch on themes of mental health and personal challenges, coupled with pounding drums, heavy guitars, and melodious rock beats. Toast To The Broken is no exception. “Toast To The Broken is a rebel anthem for the lost and the wayward,” she explains. “Fueled with rage and youthful recklessness, the song is all about running from whatever thoughts or feelings you don’t want to deal with, regardless of how unhealthy the coping mechanism is.”
Similar to the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Avril Lavigne and Paramore, Sarina has put her own twist on the early 2010s pop-punk genre, which can be heard especially throughout this new track through her raw and powerful vocals and catchy chorus. To accomplish this sound, she teamed with Thrasher, the former guitarist of Escape the Fate, known for his production work with MGK, Panic! At The Disco, Blink-182 and Avril Lavigne.
Sarina fell upon her passion for music from a young age, immediately engrossed by the imaginative freedom it gave her. Born in Hawaii to two artistically gifted parents, a Lebanese mother and a Japanese father, she grew up in a household filled with creativity and was heavily influenced musically by a multitude of cultures. As a result, she quickly picked up several instruments, including the guitar, piano, ukulele, drums, and bass. After signing a deal, she released her debut single Identity, along with five more singles, six music videos — all of which were self-ideated and storyboarded — and a debut EP titled Foreword. It was not long before Sarina decided to utilize her talent to co-found a new label, SyrenSong, in 2024. The rising star has built a name for herself, gaining spots on notable playlists and securing features in multiple media outlets.
