Mystery Romance return with “Throw It Away,” the second single from their forthcoming album Faces of You. A clear departure from the first single, “Losing You,” the track moves into darker, heavier territory, reflecting the devastating effects of on-line bullying, teenage isolation, and suicide.
Mystery Romance is a Calgary-based Canadian/Irish indie pop/rock band with roots in the late 1980s, known for their feel-good sound and releases like "Harmony & Discord' 2024, and the 2023 album "Flying Thru the Moon" and most recent 2025 Album "Electric Love" that spawned singles "Walking on a Tuesday" "Thing for You" and "Electric Love"" Key members include Mike Scullion and Rhys Green; their music has aired internationally and featured in TV shows. Focusing on recording and video performances This new offering is one of the most meaningful songs released to date.
Mystery Romance has been one to follow, in this everchanging world of the music industry, they have managed to continue to brand their sound, with smooth song productions and strong harmonies.
Originally pulled from an archive of 8-track songs written years ago and later shelved, “Throw It Away” has taken on new relevance today. Its themes of on-line cruelty, emotional isolation, and psychological collapse feel especially urgent in a culture shaped by social-media pressure, cyber-bullying, and harassment among teenagers.
“We are proud to announce our new music video “Throw It Away”, a hard-hitting song about teen cyberbullying and its real, sometimes deadly, consequences. If you’ve ever felt the weight of online cruelty—or know someone who has—this one’s for you. Thanks to my son Caiden for his guitar playing and video participation, my pals Duncan White and Rhys Green for participating in the video. This one also has some clips of our friend John Lapsely who passed suddenly,” explains Mike Scullion.
Driven by a heavy groove and emotionally charged vocals, the single reveals a harder edge to Mystery Romance’s songwriting. While "Faces of You" continues to reflect the band’s melodic instincts, “Throw It Away” stands as one of the group’s most serious and direct statements to date. Written by Mile Scullion/Rhys Green/Richard Crooks, the recording features a collaboration with Mike’s vocal performance and songwriting experience with son Caiden’s guitar work, adding intensity and emotional weight to the track’s exploration of teen on-line bullying and suicide.

‘Throw It Away’ is a song that feels more relevant now than when it was first written,” says Mike Scullion. “It speaks to the damage on-line cruelty can do, especially for young people who already feel isolated. The song is intended to draw attention to the serious impact cyber-bullying can have on teenagers and the importance of recognizing when someone may be struggling.”
“Share it, talk about it, and help spread the message.”
