“‘little image’s aesthetic is but one component of the band’s overall irresistible artistic package, which starts with the rocking pop flavor of the band’s music.”
– Dallas Observer
“KILL THE GHOST” is an anthem that captures the never-ending struggle of the human spirit and its battle against itself. Often, the greatest obstacle to becoming who we’re meant to be is our own resistance. This song serves as an invitation to let go of what holds us back and to step into something greater than ourselves.”
– little image
Directed by the band’s frequent collaborator, Sawyer Skipper, the “KILL THE GHOST” video was shot entirely in night vision in the forests of Tennessee, giving it a raw, voyeuristic edge. As the video progresses, the band performs under a canopy of trees, surrounded by darkness and illuminated only by high-powered flashlights and stark single-source lighting. The result is a hauntingly intimate experience that echoes the emotional weight of the track, a cinematic portrayal of the band’s artistic evolution and emotional depth.
“I have been so lucky to work with little image for several years now, not only as collaborators but as best friends. Our videos are never just my vision or theirs; they are the result of a true team effort. Over the years we have faced plenty of challenges, but pushing through them together has only made us stronger and better at what we do.
The boys are making the best music of their career, and I am making the best videos of mine and I do not think that is a coincidence. ‘KILL THE GHOST’ marks a new chapter for them. It is bold, refined, and fully them. It’s a dream come true, what more could you ask for?”
-Sawyer Skipper

About little image:
Over more than a decade, Dallas trio little image has transformed from suburban kids obsessed with underground indie rock into the cohesive band they are today. Comprised of Jackson Simmons(vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters (bass/synth), and Troy Bruner (drums), the trio truly came into their own during the 2020 lockdown.
This period allowed them to experiment with creating pop-rock music beyond the traditional guitar/bass/drums setup. Their creative surge led to a partnership with Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, 5SOS), who provided a nurturing studio environment. This collaboration culminated in the release of their debut album, SELF TITLED, in May 2023, followed by a U.S. headline tour. The album, which tells a story of self-doubt, self-reflection, and self-love, scored the band their first #1 alternative radio hit, “OUT OF MY MIND.”
In 2025, little image released “RUN FOR FOREVER” and “THE PRESSURE, the first tracks of new music since their debut, followed by “NOVOCAINE.” After a challenging year in 2024, the band channeled their experiences into writing and recording their next album.
little image has toured with Panic! At The Disco and Colony House, and performed at festivals like Shakey Knees, Float Fest, and Wonderbus Music & Arts Festival. They recently wrapped a 20-city European tour with almost Monday and completed a summer run supporting Bad Suns in late June. Earlier this year, they also joined Joywave on their Here To Perform… Spring 2025 tour.
With more new music on the way, little image is poised to make 2026 another landmark year.
