South African alternative rock project Future Radio returns with “Scream”, the second single from its upcoming album, Defiance.

Inspired by Edvard Munch’s iconic masterpiece The Scream, the guitar-driven track explores existential doubt, identity and the search for meaning in an uncertain world.

Future Radio - Scream

Loud, raw and melodic, “Scream” captures the intensity of the human experience while offering a message of hope to anyone searching for authenticity, connection and something more.

Future Radio Explores Uncertainty With “Scream”

Built around a hypnotic guitar riff, “Scream” combines driving alternative rock energy with emotionally charged songwriting.

The track gradually builds through an eerie bridge before bursting into a soaring guitar solo that carries the song towards its climactic final chorus.

Thematically, “Scream” wrestles with questions of identity, doubt and hope. At its core, the song is about confronting uncertainty rather than allowing it to take control.

For Future Radio, the track serves as a rallying cry for outsiders, rebels and anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the uncertainty that comes with simply trying to figure life out. Because, frankly, nobody gets an instruction manual.

Johnny Late on the Meaning Behind “Scream”

Future Radio frontman Johnny Late says “Scream” is about facing uncertainty head-on, confronting fear and asking difficult questions without allowing hopelessness to have the final word.

According to Late, the idea of screaming represents both acknowledging pain and declaring that, despite everything, you are still here, still searching and still willing to believe that life may hold more than what is immediately visible.

That message sits at the centre of “Scream”, giving the song an emotional depth beneath its energetic guitar-driven sound.

“Scream” Marks Another Step Forward for Future Radio

As the band’s third original release of 2026, “Scream” represents another important step for Future Radio as the project continues to establish its distinctive voice within South Africa’s modern rock landscape.

The release will be supported by an official music video, short-form content across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts, as well as radio servicing, playlist pitching, interviews and live performances.

With its combination of raw emotion, melodic hooks and powerful alternative rock energy, the new track also aims to introduce Future Radio to new audiences beyond South Africa.

The Story of Future Radio

Since forming in 2020, Future Radio has released 30 songs and two full-length albums: Freedom, released in 2021, and Identity, which followed in 2023.

Led by Pretoria-based songwriter Johnny Late, Future Radio creates bold, guitar-driven music for outsiders, weirdos and anyone who has never quite felt like they fit in.

The project has received support from official Spotify and Apple Music playlists and has collaborated with some of South Africa’s leading artists, steadily building a loyal audience around its message of individuality and connection.

Future Radio Turns Rebellion Into Connection

More than simply a rock project, Future Radio has positioned itself as a space for people who have often felt overlooked or left outside the usual circles. Its music embraces individuality and rebellion while creating a sense of connection among listeners who may have spent much of their lives feeling like they did not quite belong.

With “Scream” and the upcoming album Defiance, Future Radio continues to build on that identity, delivering music that is loud, honest, melodic and unapologetically human. For anyone still searching for meaning, connection or simply a reminder that they are not alone in feeling uncertain, their new single offers an alt-rock soundtrack for continuing the search.
