Hayley Williams launches Power Snatch with Daniel James
Hayley Williams has quietly launched a new band, Power Snatch, teaming up with producer Daniel James — who worked on her 2025 album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. The project debuted publicly when the duo premiered a new track, “Assignment,” on Apple Music 1 on January 29, 2026.
From teasers to a premiere
Fans traced the project back to 2025 after Power Snatch began posting short teasers on Instagram. In July 2025 the account shared a snippet of an untitled song, followed by a December Bandcamp release titled “DMs.” Those early drops set the stage for the Apple Music 1 premiere of “Assignment.”

Where Power Snatch fits in Williams’ year
The Power Snatch project arrives as Williams prepares for her first solo tour in support of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, kicking off in March with dates across North America and Europe. Williams also heads into the 2026 Grammys with four nominations, further raising the profile of any new work she releases.
Fans and critics have noted a sonic throughline between Ego Death and Power Snatch: Williams continues to experiment with genre and production choices, now alongside Daniel James in a band context rather than a solo album frame.
Short takeaways
Power Snatch is a collaborative project that extends the creative partnership between Hayley Williams and Daniel James. With early releases already online and a high-profile radio premiere, the duo appears poised to release more material as Williams balances touring and awards season activity.
