The Barbarians of California, AWOLNATION frontman Aaron Bruno's hardcore side project, has released a new song called "Vanilla Latte."

"For 'Vanilla Latte,' we dip back into our thrashy side with the usual dose of sarcasm and irreverence," says fellow Barbarian Eric Stenman in a statement.

You can watch the "Vanilla Latte" video, which was filmed during the 2026 ShipRocked concert cruise, streaming now on YouTube.

"Vanilla Latte" follows the January single "Bomb to a Knife Fight." The debut Barbarians album, And Now I'm Just Gnashing My Teeth, was released in 2024.

The Barbarians of California will launch a tour in May. Their live schedule includes dates opening for Guns N' Roses.
