This week’s SNSMix Song of the Week shines a well-deserved spotlight on “This Is My Life,” the latest single from San Clemente surf-punk-reggae outfit Tunnel Vision, featuring longtime collaborator and Southern California favorite DENM.
Released May 30th via LAW Records, the track is equal parts anthem and mission statement—a laid-back yet confident reminder to stay true to your path no matter what.
Known for their coastal sound and DIY attitude, Tunnel Vision has built a loyal following through relentless touring and a deep connection to skate and surf culture. “This Is My Life” continues that legacy, delivering warm guitar riffs, steady rhythms, and lyrics that speak to self-assurance in a chaotic world. Vocalist Hayden Hanson leans into a storytelling style that feels both personal and universal, while DENM adds his signature grit and melodic charisma, elevating the track with a grounded, soulful edge.
The song was produced by Cameron Webb (Sum 41, P.O.D., Alkaline Trio), whose seasoned ear brings a tight, crisp finish to the track without sanding down its raw emotion. Together, the trio crafts a tune that captures the freedom of coastal living and the strength it takes to live life on your own terms.
As part of The Pier’s collaboration with Skratch ‘N Sniff, “This Is My Life” stands out as a refreshing reminder that authenticity always hits harder than artifice. Whether you’re pushing through a rough day or just soaking up the sun, this one’s built to ride with you.
