YACOVELLI releases their second single “Doppelganger” with a fierce growl that maintains its grip. Alex Yacovelli leads this NYC-based band which mixes punk chaos with grunge haze and alternative rock fire. The initial moments of the track feature a piercing, wavy guitar sound that pulls listeners into an introspective battle against themselves. “Doppelganger” combines nostalgic 90s rock elements and Bowery Punk’s raw energy to create a sound that feels both old-school and new like a basement performance reimagined for a massive stadium audience.

The lyrics propel the song into a realm filled with bewilderment and inner turmoil. The lyrics “I saw myself today / In the face of another” perfectly illustrate how you can become so different that you no longer recognize yourself. This piece carries intense emotional depth with intertwined themes of guilt identity struggles and regret. Alex’s vocal performance pushes the song toward deeper levels of authenticity. His voice shatters at exact points which vividly illustrates the internal conflict. Each chorus adds more guitar riffs and tension which builds up until it reaches a powerful explosion at the end. The song ends with an intense outro that functions as the ultimate blow in an internal battle.

YACOVELLI takes inspiration from Nirvana and Foo Fighters yet transforms their sound into something distinctively ‘Nu York’. The track maintains an equilibrium between raw intensity and emotional depth while combining disorder with intention. It doesn’t just make noise—it says something. “Doppelganger” serves as a musical reflection for those who’ve questioned their identity in front of a mirror. The combination of darkness and volume with authenticity creates a powerful impact. The music serves as a wake-up call delivered through distortion.
