18-03-2026
STITCHED UP HEART has released a new single “Cannibal”, featuring Heidi Shepherd of BUTCHER BABIES, out now via Judge & Jury Records.
Watch “Cannibal” below.
“‘Cannibal’ is a song for the man-eaters, to all of the baddies stealing hearts and eating them for breakfast,” says singer Alecia “Mixi” Demner.
She continues: “I was at BUTCHER BABIES‘ very first show. Crammed on the stairs at a dive bar on the Sunset Strip. Heidi hurled this wrecked Barbie into the crowd. Hair hacked off, totally mangled. I caught it. Looking back at that moment it felt like she’d passed me a torch. ‘Hey girl, let’s conquer this industry together.’ Years later, we’re still at it cheering each other on from the sidelines. Collaborating on this song together is such a fulfilling moment.”
Shepherd adds: “I’ve been a big fan of Mixi and STITCHED UP HEART for nearly two decades. We’ve clawed our way through this industry together, and had each other’s back when no one else did. After all of these years, it’s so fitting that ‘Cannibal’ is the song that we finally get to SCREAM together! This song is so fun, and has quickly become one of my favorite collabs that I’ve been a part of. You can tell by the video that we had an absolute blast making it. I can’t wait to see what else STITCHED UP HEART has in store of us fans in the future!”
Watch the previously released “Glitch Bitch” below.
“Glitch Bitch” is a tribute to Internet-era confidence, where online identity becomes a space for fearless self-expression. Driven by heavy guitar and a bold attitude, the song captures emotions of navigating the digital world.
Singing “This is for the twisted e-girl misfits”, STITCHED UP HEART leans into its known audiences, even in the music video. Featuring Kiarely and Kristen from CONQUER DIVIDE and several popular goth/emo influencers, the music video follows the band as the night unfolds at a house party, with tattoo artist Miao inking guests amid the chaos.
“‘Glitch Bitch’ is a love letter to every fierce e-girl baddie out there shattering expectations, and leaving a trail of broken hearts in your digital wake,” STITCHED UP HEART shares, and continues, “You’re the queens of turning pixels into power, and making the Internet pretty. Reminding us all that code is confidence and beauty’s a weapon.”
Benson adds: “When I heard the amazing forward-thinking record Mixi recorded with Cameron Mizell, I immediately loved the track ‘Glitch Bitch’! The video was fun to shoot and having Kiarely and Kristen from CONQUER DIVIDE on it just ramps up the excitement.”
The loaded “Glitch Bitch” video cast brings a combined 10 million followers across all platforms and includes Dani Divine, Annie Miao, Miss Merder, Ashley Pagliuso, ALYXX, Lyric Noel, Eve vice, StayMaced, Black Widow, Stef w/ an F, Kat Coats, Farrah Fix, Rebecca Reed, Bibi, Michael Starr, Kitty LA, Julia Sallee and Darrin “Mayhem Jesus” Perry.
