Maryland alternative-rock mainstays Ballyhoo! will release their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Bad Summer, this Friday, August 28, via Right Coast Records.

To celebrate release week, the band is premiering the official video for the album’s title track, “Bad Summer.” Directed and edited by Andrew “Gingy” Hall, the video finds Ballyhoo! fully embracing their hair-metal alter egos in a gloriously over-the-top tribute to big riffs, bigger hair and the unapologetic fun at the heart of the song.

“We’ve never leaned harder into a treatment,” says frontman Howi Spangler. “Andrew ‘Gingy’ Hall and his team crushed it. If you love joy, fun and feel-good rock ’n’ roll, you’re gonna love this.”

Produced by John Feldmann (Blink-182, Avril Lavigne, Goldfinger), Bad Summer pushes Ballyhoo! toward one of the biggest and boldest productions of their career while preserving the personality, chemistry and honest songwriting that have defined the band for more than two decades.

The album includes the previously released singles “Bad Summer,” “Cali Girl II,” “I Guess I’ll Go Fuck Myself,” “Thunderstorms” and “Slowly Dying.” Together, the tracks showcase a record that moves between beach-ready pop-punk, alternative rock and massive sing-along hooks.

For Ballyhoo!, working with Feldmann marked a full-circle collaboration with a producer and songwriter whose work has long influenced the band.

“Ballyhoo! were a joy to work with!” says Feldmann. “They are all such incredible musicians and super open-minded, and we made an awesome album! I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. So stoked to be included in this musical masterpiece.”

“We knew we wanted the next thing we did to be special, and I’ve always wanted to make a record with Feldy,” adds Spangler. “We put ourselves out there and took a big swing to make that happen. The record turned out even better than I thought it would. We’re so very proud of Bad Summer, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

The album arrives on the heels of Ballyhoo!’s first European tour, which included appearances at BrakRock in Belgium and Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia, along with club dates throughout the continent.

The band returns to the road this week with an August 29 hometown-area performance at Cult Classic Outdoors in Stevensville, Maryland. Additional North American dates follow this fall, including shows with Bowling for Soup. Ballyhoo! will also join the 311 Caribbean Cruise in March 2027.

Nearly 25 years into their career, Ballyhoo! remain one of alternative music’s most enduring independent success stories, building a fiercely loyal audience through relentless touring, undeniable live energy and songs made to be shouted back from the crowd. With Bad Summer, the band turns the page on another chapter without losing the spirit that brought them this far.

Bad Summer arrives August 28 via Right Coast Records.

BRAZILIAN ROCK ’N’ ROLL BAND BANDA AL9 ANNOUNCE NOVEMBER U.S. TOUR WITH THE BURKHARTS

Wicked Cool Records group brings Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 to American stages following a breakout year

“The ultimate power-pop summer soundtrack.”- Rock at Night

“The best driving-with-the-roof-down album I’ve heard in five years. Don’t miss it.” - CD HotList

Brazilian rock ’n’ roll band Banda AL9 are bringing their high-energy sound to the United States this November, arriving on the heels of a breakout year that has seen the group reach an international audience and earn the support of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most influential champions, Little Steven Van Zandt.

The band will be joined throughout the 12-date run by Buffalo’s The Burkharts, whose harmony-packed, sun-soaked sound channels the best of ’60s pop, surf and rock ’n’ roll. Two young bands from different corners of the world, Banda AL9 and The Burkharts are connected by a shared love for big melodies, guitars, vocal harmonies and classic rock ’n’ roll.

The tour begins November 1 at The Middle East in Boston and includes stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and more before wrapping November 15 at Buffalo Iron Works.

Banda AL9’s latest album, Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9, was released in July 2026 through Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records, marking a major new chapter for the group. The album brings together newly remixed and remastered versions of some of AL9’s most popular songs alongside new material, including “She Can Do It All,” written by Kurt Baker and Wyatt Funderburk, and “Indigo Skye,” a song written especially for the band by Little Steven.

The relationship with Little Steven and Wicked Cool Records has helped introduce Banda AL9 to a much wider audience, connecting the young Brazilian group with listeners throughout the United States and around the world through the label and Little Steven’s Underground Garage.

Their music has also caught the attention of another legendary rock ’n’ roll tastemaker: Elton John, who featured the band’s version of The Rubinoos’ “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” on his radio show.

But Banda AL9’s story began long before their arrival on Wicked Cool Records.

Formed in Brazil and led by brothers Matheus Khouri and Thiago Khouri, the band built its following from the ground up, developing a catalog of original songs and a reputation as an exciting live act while steadily expanding its audience beyond its home country.

Acoustic performances and original songs shared on TikTok helped bring that music to listeners around the world, with the band’s videos generating more than 12 million views. Songs including “Chama de Amor” and “She Calls Me Love” became viral favorites, and the group’s growing momentum eventually led to a collaboration with Steve Aoki.

Their combination of youthful energy, memorable songs and an unmistakable enthusiasm for rock ’n’ roll ultimately caught the attention of an international network of artists, producers and music industry veterans.

That same spirit runs throughout Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9.

Rock at Night called the record “the ultimate power-pop summer soundtrack,” while CD HotList praised its “tight harmonies, chiming 12-string guitar arpeggios, handclaps on the backbeat, and hooks hooks hooks,” declaring it “the best driving-with-the-roof-down album I’ve heard in five years.”

Jersey Beat described Banda AL9’s music as “fun, good-time music” that channels the early Beatles and Beach Boys, while Faster & Louder wrote, “The joy that they exude is genuine and infectious. Trends in music come and go, but melody, harmonies, and catchy choruses are eternal. World, meet Banda AL9.”

Poprock Record hailed the group as a “Brazilian Beatlesque sensation” and said its breezy hooks “will have you double hand-clapping along.”

Now, with Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 serving as their international calling card, the band is ready for its biggest American adventure yet.

The November tour will bring the songs from the album directly to American audiences and represents another major step forward for a Brazilian band whose story has quickly grown from local beginnings to an internationally recognized label, airplay and support from legendary artists, and an expanding fanbase thousands of miles from home.

With Little Steven and Wicked Cool Records in their corner, a new album out in the world and their sights firmly set on what comes next, Banda AL9 are ready to make some noise in America.

Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 — see you in November. Tickets on sale starting Friday, August 21st, at www.BandaAL9.com.

Led by the singles “Whiplash,” “Right Now,” and “Scatterbrain,” The Good Ole American Saturday Night has earned an enthusiastic reception from fans and critics alike.

BOBBY MAHONEY RELEASES NEW SINGLE “SMOKE AND DRIVE”

Backed with Social Distortion Cover “Machine Gun Blues”

FFO: The Gaslight Anthem, The Menzingers , The Bouncing Souls, Jesse Malin

Stream The Single Here

ASBURY PARK, NJ — Bobby Mahoney returns with a new single, “Smoke and Drive,” paired with a cover of Social Distortion’s “Machine Gun Blues.” The release finds the Asbury Park songwriter and his band channeling nostalgia, grit, and heart through a rock-and-roll lens that’s both timeless and unmistakably Jersey.

“‘Smoke and Drive’ was the title of a demo recording that [producer/songwriter] Matty Carlock sent me last year,” says Mahoney. “It was drums and guitars, and he had me write a melody and lyrics to the track. The song just screamed nostalgia to me — driving around with friends in high school or college on highways and single-lane back roads. We had a great time ironing the song and production out with Matty and with Geoff Sanoff in NYC. Mark Masefield (Dave Hause, Will Hoge, Outside The Box) plays keys on the track and adds a beautiful dimension. We hope it reminds you of that time when…”

On the B-side, Mahoney and his band tackle Social Distortion’s “Machine Gun Blues,” a fan-favorite live cover that finally found its way into the studio.

“We love Social Distortion and have had fun covering ‘Machine Gun Blues’ live for a few years now,” Mahoney explains. “I think I first saw them play it on Conan a few years ago. It felt like the right time to ‘pull the trigger’ on it, along with ‘Smoke and Drive.’ Shout out to Social D!”

The recordings feature Mahoney’s core lineup — James McIntosh (drums), Andrew Saul (guitars, backing vocals), Jon Chang-Soon (bass, backing vocals), and Mark Masefield (keys) — with Matty Carlock and Geoff Sanoff contributing backing vocals. Mahoney adds, “Brian Legentil (LKFCT) is our new live bass player and will be on the rest of the record. Nothing but love for Jon Chang-Soon (JC Soon).”

Carlock, who co-produced the single, is a New Jersey native working between LA and NYC with artists across pop, hip-hop, punk, and hardcore. Masefield, whose keys can also be heard on both new tracks, is a veteran player known for his work with Dave Hause, Will Hoge, and Outside The Box.

ABOUT BOBBY MAHONEY

A fixture in the Asbury Park, NJ music scene, Bobby Mahoney has made a name for himself with high-energy performances and heartfelt songwriting. He’s shared stages with Frank Turner, Against Me!, Steve Earle, and Dave Hause, opened for Bon Jovi, and even jammed with Bruce Springsteen during multiple Light of Day Music Festivals, benefiting Parkinson’s, ALS, and PSP research. This past summer, Mahoney wrapped a solo acoustic European tour, bringing his Jersey-bred storytelling overseas for the second time.

"...a brilliant album and one that, no doubt, Wilson would have loved. This is the most complete version of the live album to be released. It delivers what is promised, and it is an incredibly well put-together live album. The overall sound and presentation is absolutely astounding.”- Spill Magazine

“Backed by a 10-piece band featuring members of the power-pop group the Wondermints, Wilson delivered two nights loaded with memories that would never be forgotten and set lists that checked a lot of boxes for fans of surf music, the Beach Boys, and just harmony in general.” — Ultimate Classic Rock

Los Angeles, CA — Brian Wilson: Live at the Roxy Theatre (25th Anniversary Edition) is out now via Oglio Records—the first official Brian Wilson release since his passing on June 11, 2025. Captured over two sold-out nights in April 2000 at West Hollywood’s legendary Roxy Theatre, the newly expanded collection celebrates Wilson’s luminous late-career return to the stage—available now on vinyl for the first time as a 3LP box set, alongside 2CD and digital editions.

Originally released in 2000 as Wilson’s first-ever live solo album, Live at the Roxy Theatre finds the Beach Boys co-founder performing classics like “California Girls,” “Surfer Girl,” “I Get Around,” and “Good Vibrations,” alongside latter-day originals including “The First Time” and “This Isn’t Love.” Backed by a powerhouse 10-piece band (Bob Lizik, Probyn Gregory, Darian Sahanaja, Paul Mertens, Nick Wlusko, Jeff Foskett, and more), Wilson’s warmth, humor, and genius shine through every note.

The new 25th Anniversary Edition expands that landmark moment with never-before-heard performances and tour recordings (2000–2009), produced by longtime collaborator Mark Linett and Oglio Records founder Carl Caprioglio, with new liner notes by David Leaf tracing how those Roxy shows sparked Wilson’s creative renaissance.

“With Brian’s passing this year, this edition isn’t just a reissue—it’s a heartfelt tribute to his artistry, his kindness, and the timeless music he shared with us.” — Carl Caprioglio, Oglio Records

“Those nights on the Sunset Strip turned out to be the beginning of Brian’s great second act… Looking back now, it’s clear: the Roxy was where Brian’s rebirth as a performer truly came alive.” — David Leaf

Vancouver, BC — Canadian pop-punk mainstays Chief State have announced their new full-length album, Keep Your Friends Closer,due out April 17 via Mutant League Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has released the album’s title track as a new single, complete with an accompanying music video.

The single follows the October release of “No Brakes” and offers a sharp, emotionally charged snapshot of what’s to come on Keep Your Friends Closer — a record that captures Chief State at their most urgent, melodic, and honest.

Keep Your Friends Closer was produced, engineered, and mixed by Tim Creviston (Spiritbox, Youth Fountain) and mastered by Stu McKillop (Midnight Peg, By A Thread) at Rain City Recorders. The album channels the band’s signature blend of high-energy pop-punk and introspective lyricism, balancing grit and vulnerability while pushing their sound forward.

The band shares:

"The album that very nearly didn't happen! In 2023/24 we embarked on a game of musical chairs with band members. Such is life, friends move on and pursue other projects or choose to focus on a long neglected career. When Joe and I were the last two standing we were faced with the prospect of continuing or calling it a day, we did the one thing we know - wrote a song. All it takes is one song to get excited again, to convince your longest friend to rejoin, to persuade excellent musicians to join. Keep Your Friends Closer is the amalgamation of 10 years of grit and determination, it's about getting back up when you're knocked down, it's the pursuit of a dream, it's us, it's Chief State. The album explores friendship, hardship, betrayal, love, anger, isolation - life. The fundamental lesson being that we should keep our loved ones closer, not just relate on the surface level but learn all there is to know about those we choose to spend time with. Letting true colours show, for better or for worse in the short term, will always be for the better in the long run. The writing process felt natural and effortless, crafting as true friends and brothers. When recording with our long term producer Tim Creviston, it felt like we were witnessing the full potential of Chief State coming together. Keep Your Friends Closer is our most authentic work to date, our most collaborative work to date and our best work to date! The album that very nearly didn't happen, did happen and we can't wait to share it with you."- Fraser, Nik, Joseph, Bran, & James

Having spent years releasing acclaimed records, touring extensively across North America and beyond, and building a devoted global fanbase, Chief State continue to cement their place at the forefront of modern pop-punk. Keep Your Friends Closerfinds the band louder, sharper, and hungrier than ever.

Chief State will also be supporting Wheatus at The Pearl in Vancouver on April 13th, where Wheatus will be performing their legendary self-titled debut album in full.

Pre-Order Here

"Bright melodies, impeccable vocal harmonies, and a chorus that seems destined to be etched in your memory from the very first listen."- Ruta 66

"...feels like the power pop champion has never been away...you’ll discover perfect blasts of brass, even bigger vocals and a hefty nod to The Beach Boys."- Real Gone

"A celebration of melody, harmony and classic pop craftsmanship."- Indienoxzine

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Swedish power-pop songwriter and former Merrymakers frontman David Myhr will release his new single “Say Yes” on September 18, coinciding with the physical release of his third solo album, Everything Is All About You, via Oglio Entertainment. The album will arrive digitally on October 2. Serving as the album’s primary focus track, “Say Yes” pairs driving piano, lush vocal harmonies, and a sweeping horn arrangement with an uplifting message about embracing love, possibility, and optimism.

Opening the album with the fitting line, “And in the beginning, there’s a tiny spark,” the Beatles-inspired song captures Myhr’s gift for timeless melodies, intricate arrangements, and classic pop craftsmanship.

“I’m really proud of this one,” says Myhr. “It’s exactly the kind of pop song I would love to hear on the radio in a parallel world where melodic pop, lush vocal harmonies, and nice chord progressions rule the airwaves. I have a feeling it might be one of the crown jewels in my whole catalog, so I feel great about it being the focus track of the new album.”

Although Myhr’s work—both as a solo artist and with The Merrymakers—has largely been guitar-driven, “Say Yes” gives the piano a starring role.

“I’ve always had a soft spot for piano-based pop,” Myhr explains. “Having grown up on The Beatles, Wings, and, to some extent, ABBA, I just love the sound of a bright and punchy piano. I’ve always liked Elton John, and recently I’ve gotten into Billy Joel a little bit as well. I was also a big fan of Ben Folds Five in the ’90s. I love piano pop, and I love sitting at the piano and coming up with small tunes.”

The song’s journey began in 2013, when Myhr came up with its verse melody while sitting at a piano after a day of teaching. He brought the idea to longtime collaborator Bill DeMain during their first Nashville writing session in 2015, but the song remained unfinished for several years.

After completing his 2018 solo album Lucky Day, Myhr revisited the melody and sent it back to DeMain, who returned with poetic verses and a simple phrase that became the heart of the chorus: “Say yes.”

The pandemic and the birth of Myhr’s first child briefly shifted his priorities, although he still released the high-energy power-pop EP And Now This during that period. Myhr and DeMain eventually reconnected during lockdown to complete the chorus and add a bridge.

DeMain also worked a subtle reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono into the third verse with the line, “It’s written in the ceiling, it’s painted in the sky.” The lyric was inspired by Ono’s famous 1966 installation at London’s Indica Gallery, where Lennon climbed a ladder and used a magnifying glass to discover the word “YES” written on a canvas above him.

“I’ve always loved that story—it’s so romantic,” says DeMain. “Because David’s melody felt a bit Beatlesque, it put me in mind of that moment. The phrase ‘say yes’ fit the chorus beautifully. It’s a song about embracing love, life, positivity, and optimism, especially when there’s so much negativity and cynicism in the world.”

Production began at Durango Recording in Stockholm in September 2021 with co-producer Andreas Dahlbäck. After drums were tracked to Myhr’s piano and scratch vocal, the recording was sent to Los Angeles producer Frankie Siragusa for additional production and overdubs.

Siragusa added layers of Queen- and Jellyfish-inspired backing vocals, a surf-inflected guitar solo, and a melodic bassline that nods to Paul McCartney and Ben Folds.

“David and I share a similar sensibility when it comes to Beatlesque music,” says Siragusa. “We wanted to honor that influence while exploring unique approaches and challenging the sound.”

The production took yet another turn after Andrew Campbell of UK label Lojinx, which released Myhr’s first two solo albums, suggested that it needed an even bigger finish. Arranger Hans Hjortek was brought in to create the song’s exuberant brass arrangement, giving the finished track an added burst of color and scale.

After hearing the completed master, DeMain offered his own concise assessment: “It’s like ‘I Am the Walrus’ meets Chicago. Love it!”

“Say Yes” will be available across all streaming platforms on September 18. Everything Is All About You will be released physically the same day via Oglio Entertainment, followed by its digital release on October 2.

Few records in punk history have left as massive a footprint as the Descendents’ Milo Goes to College. The 1982 debut fused the aggression of hardcore with catchy hooks, adolescent angst, and unmistakable personality — helping spark an entire genre now known as pop punk. Its influence remains undeniable over four decades later, earning spots on Rolling Stone’s list of the “40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time,” Spin’s “50 Most Essential Punk Records,” and Pitchfork’s “200 Best Albums of the 1980s.”

Now, Descendents and Org Music are proud to announce the long-awaited reissue of Milo Goes to College, available September 19th on LP, CD, and cassette.

Reclaimed by the band and lovingly restored, this release marks the beginning of an extensive reissue campaign that will include the band’s foundational albums from their early years, originally released on New Alliance and SST Records. Milo Goes to College leads the way, setting the tone for what’s to come with a variety of formats and exclusive editions.

Among them is a stunning limited "Punk Note" edition featuring alternate packaging by John Yates (Stealworks), inspired by the iconic jazz designs of Reid Miles and Francis Wolff whose work helped define the Blue Note jazz label. This visual reimagining of punk classics continues the aesthetic series that began with Org Music’s Bad Brains reissues. Each "Punk Note" title includes new liner notes by BrooklynVegan senior editor Andrew Sacher and is housed in a deluxe case-wrapped jacket.

The reissue will be available in the following variants:

WIDELY AVAILABLE FORMATS:

Black LP

“Grey Matter” LP

Punk Note Edition (black vinyl)

Cassette

LIMITED/EXCLUSIVE VARIANTS:

Punk Note Edition (silver vinyl) — Org Music exclusive

“Suspended Gold” LP — Descendents Exclusive

Pink LP — Zia Records exclusive

Smoke LP — Rough Trade exclusive

“Statue of Liberty” LP — Going Underground Records & Seasick Records exclusive

Black LP with Exclusive Obi Strip — Celebrated Summer Records

“Coffee” Cassette — Tapehead City exclusive

More classics are on the way. The reissue campaign will continue with I Don’t Want to Grow Up, Enjoy!, ALL, Bonus Fat, and more — each reissued under the band’s own control and vision.

This project isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about preservation, intention, and giving a new generation access to one of punk’s most influential catalogs.

DOOM SCROLL ADDRESSES WAR, DIVISION AND BLIND ALLEGIANCE ON NEW SINGLE “ZUGZWANG”

Colorado Folk-Punk Band Shares the Latest Track From Upcoming Album Exhausted Dialogue, Out October 6

U.S. Tour With Hans Gruber and the Die Hards Underway; Additional October Dates Include FEST in Gainesville

"With a folk-punk style tempered by a pop-punk edge, “The Ravine” promises to feed your hungry punk soul. With the delightfully unhinged stop-motion video alongside it, this promises to be a song you’re going to be singing for a while."- New Noise Magazine

"...passionate and socio-politically perceptive.."- Rebel Noise

“Cautionary tales of modern-day electronic disassociation with a healthy dose of ska and folk to help the medicine go down.” - Dyingscene

Colorado folk-punk band Doom Scroll has released the new single, “Zugzwang.” The song is the latest track from the band’s forthcoming album, Exhausted Dialogue, out October 6.

Pre-save Exhausted Dialogue here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/doomscroll/exhausted-dialogue

Stream “Zugzwang” here:
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/doomscroll/zugzwang?ref=release

“The term ‘Zugzwang’ comes from chess and means that whatever your next move is, it will inevitably put you in a worse position, and ultimately you’ll lose the game,” explains vocalist and guitarist Elliot Lozier. “Such is the game of war. We disconnect ourselves from war and take sides based on what the media tells us. It’s easy to generalize a group of people and cast judgment while we sit in the comfort of our couches. All the while, innocent people get caught in the crossfire as two sides fight and die for people who would never lift a finger for them. It’s a never-ending cycle of glorified violence and meaningless death that ultimately puts humanity in a worse position.”

“Zugzwang” follows “The Ravine,” a song inspired by the long and often unbelievable run of bad luck the band endured while touring and recording. Both tracks will appear on Exhausted Dialogue, Doom Scroll’s first full-length since 2021’s Immoral Compass.

Formed in 2020, Doom Scroll brings together vocalist and guitarist Elliot Lozier (We the Heathens, Pesky Self, Atrocity Solution, Escape From The ZOO), vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Dittman (Broken Bow, Hermit Stew), bassist Micah Butler (Chatterbox and the Latter Day Satanists, Helga Pataki), guitarist and producer Jon Pizarro of Dead Work, and drummer Marissa Sendejas (Chad Hates George, formerly of Days N Daze).

Lozier and Pizarro recorded Exhausted Dialogue in their bedrooms, continuing the band’s DIY approach. The album was mixed and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Jason Livermore, whose credits include Propagandhi’s Supporting Caste, NOFX’s Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing and The Suicide Machines’ War Profiteering Is Killing Us All. Ian Cook of Larry and His Flask also appears on the track “Horsemen.”

“Exhausted Dialogue is an album about internal and external struggle,” Lozier says. “Rarely do we find any kind of reprieve when facing these struggles, and it felt like we were beating a dead horse by singing about these topics again and again.”

Doom Scroll are currently touring the U.S. with Hans Gruber and the Die Hards in support of Exhausted Dialogue, with Richard Thomas joining them on drums. Hans Gruber and the Die Hards will appear through September 10. The September 11 show in Denton and September 12 show in Oklahoma City will feature Doom Scroll only.

The band will return to the road in October for dates through the Midwest and Southeast, concluding October 25 with an early performance at FEST in Gainesville, Florida.

PUNK STALWARTS

HORACE PINKER

RELEASE NEW ALBUM

NOW AND THE FUTURE

Out Now on People of Punk Rock Records

Order The LP Here

CHICAGO, IL — Long-running punk outfit Horace Pinker has wrapped up a string of shows culminating in a fiery appearance at FEST 23. Their new album, Now and the Future, marks the band’s first full-length since 2011’s Local State Inertia and is out now via Canadian imprint People of Punk Rock Records. The LP captures a veteran group still charging forward—full of sharp melodies, punchy rhythms, and the relentless energy that’s fueled their global following for more than three decades.

“Horace Pinker returns with Now and the Future, our first full-length since 2011,” the band shares. “Driven by punchy rhythms, sharp melodies, and our signature energy, the record reflects how we continue to evolve while staying true to our punk roots.”

Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie) handling engineering and production, the album showcases Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), and Greg Mytych (bass/vocals) balancing grit and melody with incisive, heartfelt lyrics.

Highlights include singles “Three Against Me” and “Call It a Day,” the latter distilling the band’s melodic punk and hardcore influences into two-and-a-half minutes of pure sonic adrenaline. With cover art by JP Flexner (Beach Slang), Now and the Future stands as a confident, uncompromising statement from a band that’s never followed trends.

Formed in Tempe, AZ and now based in Chicago, Horace Pinker has shared stages with NOFX, Green Day, Fugazi, Bad Religion, Jawbreaker, Agent Orange, Jimmy Eat World, The Offspring, All Systems Go, and Blink-182, while touring across Europe, Asia, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. They’ve performed in more than 20 countries, appearing at major festivals including Groezrock (Belgium), Pouzza Fest (Montreal), and The Fest (Gainesville).

With a discography spanning eight full-lengths, numerous EPs, and compilations—including a 7-inch on Fat Wreck Chords and a split with Face to Face—Horace Pinker remains one of punk’s most enduring names. The A.V. Club once praised their “magic mix of intersecting guitars, a forceful rhythm section, and vocals that knew when to sing and when to shout.” Now and the Future proudly carries that legacy forward.

LOS ANGELES, CA — East Los Angeles garage-punk band Hyper Minds have signed with DC-Jam Records, distributed by Virgin Music Group, as they prepare to release their forthcoming album.

Hyper Minds join a DC-Jam roster that has included legendary artists such as The Adicts, T.S.O.L., Meat Puppets, Fishbone and Ultrabomb, among others.

Formed in 2024, Hyper Minds play loud, fast and hard-hitting garage punk driven by relentless choruses, rapid-fire vocals and the restless energy of a mind that refuses to slow down. Drawing influence from The Hives, Osees, Ramones and The Spits, the band has been building an audience throughout Los Angeles with shows at Permanent Records Roadhouse, Alex’s Bar and Gold-Diggers.

The band’s newest single, “Sink or Swim,” captures that urgency and offers a first taste of the music that will appear on their upcoming album. The track follows “Nailbiter,” a frantic examination of anxiety, overthinking and the ways stress can creep into everyday life, “Nacho,” another blast of the band’s tightly wound garage-punk sound, and the raucous “M.I.T.M..”

Hyper Minds have earned airplay on KEXP and were invited to perform a live session on Los Angeles station 88.9 KXLU, a particularly meaningful moment for a band that grew up in the city.

The lineup features Roland on guitar and vocals, delivering melodies at a pace that blurs the line between singing and sprinting. Juan and Omar form the rhythm section, punching through on bass and drums, while Robert adds lead-guitar flourishes—or glitches—that give the songs another jolt of nervous energy.

Beneath the speed and chaos is a desire to connect with listeners who may be dealing with struggles of their own.

“I want people to know that they’re not alone in the struggle, and there shouldn’t be any shame or embarrassment attached to the challenges they face in their lives,” Roland says.

Next up, Hyper Minds will bring their live show to Fight to Unite, presented by Punk Rock Bowling, at The Belasco in Los Angeles on October 9.

Hyper Minds make music for restless bodies and overactive brains—the soundtrack to late nights, racing thoughts and the feeling that standing still simply isn’t an option.

Integra Pink

INTEGRA PINK ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE “MAGIC 8BALL,” OUT SEPTEMBER 4 VIA FUTURELESS

Southern California quartet returns with a new song that previews a forthcoming 10-track LP and 12-inch vinyl release

Fall dates include shows supporting Drag Talk and a November 14 album release show in Los Angeles

Pre-Save "Magic 8Ball" Here

"...alternative cumbia-goes-punk...There’s a mischievous energy running through it all...The sound keeps pulling in different directions, different textures, different speeds at every turn, yet somehow stays locked to the body, leaning on a lineage of sound and culture that has always understood movement as a form of resistance."- Remzecla

"...a beautifully chaotic blend that uses every beat to deliver its message like a punch to the face."- RØKKR

Photo: Rick Perez

Southern California band Integra Pink will release the new single, “MAGIC 8BALL,” on September 4 via Futureless Records. The song captures the push and pull of a relationship caught somewhere between reconnecting and saying goodbye. One moment the two people can barely communicate; the next, they are together again, looking for reassurance that neither seems able to give.

“For me, ‘MAGIC 8-BALL’ is about uncertainty within a relationship,” says vocalist and guitarist Leo Mendez. “Sometimes both people want the same thing, but the road to that looks different to each person, which can eventually lead to a disconnect. I think oftentimes, when there’s no actual communication, it leaves both people feeling like they might as well be asking a Magic 8 Ball for some reassurance or certainty.”

“MAGIC 8BALL” previews Integra Pink’s forthcoming full-length album, Knucks (Right), which will bring together five new songs and the five tracks previously released on the band’s Knucks (Left) EP. The 10-track album is also planned for release on 12-inch vinyl, with additional details to be announced soon.

The new song was written by Leonardo Mendez, with music by Mendez and Roman De La Fuente. The recording features Mendez on vocals, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and synth; De La Fuente on bass; and Nicholas Jauregui on drums.

Formed in 2022, Integra Pink features Leo Mendez on vocals and guitar, Bardo Mendez on vocals and guitar, Roman De La Fuente on bass and Nick Jauregui on drums. The Southern California quartet draws from punk, rock, new wave and Latin music, bringing those influences together in a sound matched by the energy and unpredictability of its live shows.

The band has performed at venues including The Roxy, The Lodge Room, the Constellation Room and the rooftop of the Fox Theater Pomona. It has also created its own visual world through the homemade PinkTV VHS series. Integra Pink has received support from KCRW, where recent singles “Spiderman Piñata” and "Curbstomp" earned airplay, and New Noise Magazine, which wrote: ""The greatest punk bands are the ones that create diverse sounds and Integra Pink do just that with their fusion of rock, punk, new wave, and at times even something like cumbia into their music."

Integra Pink will play several California shows this fall, beginning with a September 27 headlining date at The Haven in Pomona. The band will then support Drag Talk in San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Indio before returning to Los Angeles for a headlining album release show at Above the Bridge on November 14.

Upcoming Shows

September 27 – Pomona, CA – The Haven (headline)
October 4 – Riverside, CA – Riverside Public Library (community event)

About Jessie Wagner:

It’s been a long journey to center stage for Jessie Wagner. Having gained her greatest exposure to date by singing songs everyone knows the words to, on some of the world’s biggest stages, it’s only now, through sharing her own triumphs and pain, that the spotlight is shining directly on her at last.

After logging thousands of miles as an in-demand vocalist on tour with Lenny Kravitz, Chic, Duran Duran, Kid Rock and most recently Little Steven and The Disciples Of Soul, Jessie Wagner revealed a very personal collection of songs with 'Shoes Droppin’ her 2020 debut solo album for Wicked Cool Records.

Displaying an impressive range encompassing bluesy R&B, neo-soul, acoustic balladry and rock a la John Mayer’s more confessional side, Shoes maintained a unified sound rooted in ’60s and ’70s style production. The songs traced times of darkness and redemption for the Norfolk, Virginia native, now based in New York City, who also fronts the rock/soul band Army of the Underdog.

Recorded during downtime from the Little Steven world tour, 'Shoes Droppin'' was produced by drummer Dave Diamond (Bob Weir, Derek Trucks) with engineer Chris Laybourne, and featured co-writes with seasoned soul guitarist Sherrod Barnes (Beyoncé, Angie Stone, Ashanti, Whitney Houston, Roberta Flack and Queen Latifah).

Wagner will release her sophomore solo effort in late 2023/early 2024.

Kurt Baker Announces New Album 'Rock N Roll Club', Out September 29 on Wicked Cool Records; Pre-order and Stream The Title Track Now

"What a tune, and what a great freaking band! This album is gonna be a monster."- Faster & Louder

"New England's Kurt Baker makes some of the finest vintage sounding power pop out there. It sounds like when the Ramones would cover classic rock tunes from the 60's, mixed with the sweetness of Big Star and the huge guitar solos of Cheap Trick."- If It's Too Loud

"Kurt Baker continues to impress... joined by Wyatt Funderburk, Geoff Palmer, and Kris Rodgers, it sounds like a potential top-ten LP."- Power Popaholic

Kurt Baker has announced a September 29 release date for his upcoming album 'Rock 'N' Roll Club' on Wicked Cool Records.

The title track and a new music video are now streaming along with the launch of pre-orders.

“ROCK 'N' ROLL CLUB” Video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1-bP54utI0&feature=youtu.be

Directed by Wyatt Funderburk Shot during their tour of Spain - March, 2023.

Pre-save ' Pre-order link: https://orcd.co/rocknrollclub

Of the track Baker says, "Rock N Roll Club" is an ode to the live music venue - most notably, the dingy, dark, stale beer-smelling, sticker/poster-adorned walls of your local rock n' roll club. Where the music is always loud, the drinks are cheap(ish), and there are always great bands to be seen and friends to meet. Unfortunately in this day in age, The Rock N Roll club is an almost dying institution and this is sad. These clubs are the places where we've grown up, discovered our world of music, and have always let us musicians use their stages to play our songs. We still go there as fans too, to watch our friends and discover new acts. Without them, Rock N Roll - Punk - Alternative culture wouldn't survive. I vividly remember my first time going to a real Rock N Roll club called The Skinny - now Geno's, which coincidentally, the cover of the new album was shot. My world was changed in the best way possible because I finally felt like I could go somewhere where I belonged. This song is dedicated to Kip Brown, who wrote the song but passed away before ever completing it and recording it himself. Groups like Mott the Hoople, Kiss, and the Stooges were the inspiration musically. Under his musical and spiritual guidance from above, I finished up the track with Little Steven and KB Band in the studio, and we are honored to present it to you now, the title track, from the upcoming record - "Rock N Roll Club". Peace and Love."

Of the video, he says, "The "Rock N Roll Club" is a collection of homemade and fan-shot footage from our incredible tour in Spain this past year. It had been 10 years since the KB Band had toured in Spain together and we were received so well by the amazing friends and fans we have in that country. Every night we'd play Rock N Roll clubs - wild nights filled with laughs, dancing, and more important, the rock n roll music that makes our world go round. Enjoy the clip!"

What People Have Written About Kurt Baker'

"Power-pop perfection."- Billboard

"...punk-meets-Elvis Costello rocking... definitely fits in the power pop mold, but also has a heavier guitar presence that gives it more energy and intensity. Baker also incorporates a subtle New Wave touch, bringing to mind some of the finest rock gems of the 1980s... gets you excited for when we will finally be able to see acts like them perform live one day."- Glide Magazine

“Would make Elvis Costello proud... a record brimming with sweet harmonies, razor-sharp hooks, and addictive melodies...bringing to mind everyone from Jellyfish to Material Issue at various points of the record... A remarkably fun album by one of the most consistently solid acolytes of power pop working today.”- New Noise

"It's got that new wave/power pop meets early '80s FM rock (Donnie Iris, Cheap Trick, .38 Special) vibe with just a hint of '90s Lookout! Records. If you're into big hooks, punchy guitars, and catchy choruses, this album will not leave you wanting. Say what you will about 2020. But any year that gives us a new Kurt Baker record can't be entirely bad!"- Faster & Louder

"Kurt Baker does the power pop thing like a champ...the hooks are full of pop goodness and the singalongs come from all directions."- That's Good Enough For Me

"...a 12 track alt-rock masterclass. Traversing varying sonic landscapes such as new romantic, post-punk, power-pop et cetera, this set will thrill legitimate longtime fans and new converts alike."- Global Texan Chronicles

"One of the bright lights keeping the flames of power pop lit."- Jersey Beat

"Blending his signature indie garage rock and power pop styles, “Outta Sight” is packed with sweet melodies and grittier dynamics."- Rebel Noise

"This could easily be Baker's best album to date."- Real Gone Rocks

"Confirms Kurt Baker as something of a power-pop genius. ‘After Party’ is a lockdown tonic we should all take a swig of. - RPM Online

"......a total spoil of riches for any fan of 80s culture."- American Songwriter

“The coolest DJ in the country. A proud throwback to the late-night hipster jocks of long-gone 1960's and '70s FM Radio.” - MTV

About UNDERGROUND GARAGE:

What do Little Richard, The White Stripes, Darlene Love, The Beatles, and The Ramones have in common? Little Steven’s Underground Garage! Maximum Rock and Soul!

In April of 2002 Stevie Van Zandt launched Little Steven’s Underground Garage, his internationally syndicated terrestrial Rock and Soul radio show. Each week Little Steven takes audiences on a two hour trip through all 60 years of Rock and Roll, and it's roots. Not only does The Underground Garage play the coolest Rock records ever made, but it has helped introduce over 1000 new bands throughout the history of the show including The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Hives, Arcade Fire, Gaslight Anthem, The Black Keys, Rival Sons, and more to an international audience. Over 40% of the format is dedicated to new music and emerging artists.

The show also features pop culture history, Steven’s anecdotes, fun facts, and occasional interviews. It is broadcast on over 80 stations in 200 plus markets, including internationally in Canada, UK, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Peru, and Australia, as well as worldwide on the American Forces Network and Voice of America.

Over 1000 consecutive weekly episodes have aired and have included such special guests as Jack Black, Brian Wilson, Ray Davies, Peter Wolf, Iggy Pop, Ringo Starr, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen, and has been endorsed by legends like David Bowie, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, Robert Plant, James Hetfield, Debbie Harry and many, many others.

The success of the radio show has allowed Little Steven’s Underground Garage to expand beyond the world of radio into television, live events, albums, satellite radio, and more.

The Underground Garage on SIRIUSXM:

In 2003, after the success of “Little Steven's Underground Garage,” the newly launched Sirius Satellite Radio recruited Steven to create it's FIRST original content. He would start the service's first 24/7 branded music channels, while also continuing to record his syndicated terrestrial show. One channel was “The Underground Garage.” Stylistically the format is a continuation of the syndicated terrestrial show. While radio was turning towards computer generated playlists, Steven would go in the complete opposite direction and hire Rock and Roll personalities from various backgrounds as DJ's to add their own stories and anecdotes to the music.

MAD TAB RELEASES “DON’T BLINK,” A RAW HARDCORE PUNK ACCOUNT OF LIVING WITH ADHD

Fourth single from the forthcoming album alas... the bomb voyage! arrives ahead of its September 18 release on Norwood Fisher’s Innanuttshell Reekordingz

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA — SoCal punk-ska band Mad Tab has released “Don’t Blink,” the fourth single from its forthcoming full-length album, alas... the bomb voyage!, arriving September 18, 2026.

The album marks Mad Tab’s third full-length record and sixth release overall, as well as the band’s first through Norwood Fisher’s Innanuttshell Reekordingz, distributed by The Orchard via BFE.

Pre-save alas... the bomb voyage!:
https://orcd.co/MadTabATBV

Fast, direct and unfiltered, “Don’t Blink” draws from guitarist and co-founder Graham “Gram Tab” Kirlin’s experience living with ADHD. The song captures the frustration of searching for answers, struggling to maintain focus and feeling as though time is moving faster than you can keep up with it.

“‘Don’t Blink’ is a tune about having debilitating ADHD,” says Graham. “It’s about running around trying to find what you’re looking for in life when it’s usually right there in front of you. By the time you realize it, it could be too late.”

Mad Tab co-founder Dave “Dave Tab” Malyjurek adds:

“Tons of people like us try different methods to help with ADHD and other mental health struggles and regularly fall short. Either they don’t work, we don’t stick with them even though we genuinely want to, or we can’t focus on them long enough for them to make a difference.

“You can have great ideas and start several things at the same time, then get stuck or freeze because they all seem equally urgent. There can be shame, guilt and depression surrounding that, along with people trying to tell you how to manage it, which is usually draining. ‘Don’t Blink’ is about living with the exhaustion and frustration of a neurodivergent brain.”

“Don’t Blink” is part of a larger album that looks at personal struggle, addiction, relationships, mental health, authority and the pressure to conform. Throughout alas... the bomb voyage!, Mad Tab confronts difficult subjects without pretending to have easy answers.

“We’re talking about the stuff many people don’t want to talk about,” Dave says. “I think a lot of people, at any age, will be able to relate to at least one of these songs. This album is an unflinching look at the real world—all of it.”

Drawing from the history of punk, ska and reggae as music rooted in resistance and self-expression, Mad Tab delivers its message through music that is intentionally gritty and immediate. The songs speak to people dealing with their own struggles, questioning authority or simply trying to find their place in a culture driven by consumption and instant gratification.

“Don’t Blink” follows the previously released album tracks “Awake,” “Stock Itch” and “Animals.” Music videos for “Awake” and “Stock Itch” are available now, with videos for “Animals” and “Don’t Blink” also on the way.

The track was recorded by Hayden Hanson of Tunnel Vision at Tubetown Studios in San Clemente, California, and mixed by Jim Monroe at The Racket Room Recordings in Santa Ana.

alas... the bomb voyage! continues the creative partnership between Norwood Fisher of Fishbone, Graham Kirlin and Dave Malyjurek. Together, they bring decades of music, film, production and DIY experience to a record built around honest storytelling and the freedom to say exactly what they mean.

ABOUT MAD TAB

Mad Tab is a punk-ska project rooted in Southern California and led by Dave “Dave Tab” Malyjurek and Graham “Gram Tab” Kirlin, with production support from veteran Fishbone bassist Norwood Fisher.

MC LARS Announces the 19-Track One Year Anniversary Edition of The Edgar Allan Poe LP, Out October 16 on Oglio Records

Executive produced by “The Goldbergs” creator Adam F. Goldberg. Featuring Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup, the Dead Milkmen, Mega Ran and more.

Upcoming Appearances Include the Gathering of the Juggalos, Supernova International Ska Festival and O+ Festival

"I built this as a lit-hop record in the truest sense: a nineteenth-century author reinterpreted through modern music, made for English teachers and mosh pits alike."- MC Lars

Photo: Sean Donnelly

Los AngeLes, CA — Edgar Allan Poe was paid nine dollars for “The Raven.” Across his entire career, by the Poe Society of Baltimore’s accounting, he earned roughly $6,200. In 2025, MC Lars raised $29,917 from 385 people to make an album about him.

Poe would have found this either vindicating or infuriating. Probably both. He was like that.

On October 16, 2026, Oglio Records releases the One Year Anniversary Edition of The Edgar Allan Poe LP, one year after MC Lars delivered the record to his Kickstarter backers on Halloween 2025. The campaign finished at roughly 598 percent of its $5,000 goal, a figure this publicist is professionally obligated to set in bold.

The album is executive produced by Adam F. Goldberg, creator of The Goldbergs, which is the sort of credit a press release usually buries in paragraph nine. We have moved it up.

The One Year Anniversary Edition expands the original twelve tracks with seven bonus recordings, including three new 2026 versions and four songs from the 2012 Edgar Allan Poe EP, among them the Dead Milkmen collaboration “Mr. Raven” (2012) and a 2026 update of that song featuring Chicago’s Gosh Diggity. Nineteen tracks total. Guests across the record include Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup, longtime MC Lars collaborator Watt White, Mega Ran, Rodney Anonymous, Schäffer the Darklord, Lacey Johnson, Ash Tell Em, Christina Rotondo and Worm Quartet. The record also enlists underground prank call legends Longmont Potion Castle and Brad Carter of Phone Losers of America, who both turn up on “$3.47.”

The lead and only single, a new 2026 version of “Amontillado” featuring Watt White, arrives October 2. One single. Not a “single moment,” not a “campaign moment,” not a “pre-save activation.” A song, released before the album, so people hear it first.

The part where we explain why this artist is different, except it is checkable

Every press release claims its artist is important. Almost none of them can prove it. The music industry runs on adjectives: acclaimed, seminal, boundary-pushing, essential. These words survive because nobody has ever been asked to produce evidence for them.

MC Lars produced evidence.

In December 2023 he completed a master’s degree in Instructional Science and Technology, and his capstone was not a think piece. It was a controlled study. He built a curriculum module teaching poetry through rap, ran it with actual students, and measured the results with actual statistics, including a Bonferroni correction, which is a thing you apply when you are worried about fooling yourself. Students’ attitudes toward poetry improved. Their retention of the material improved. Both results were statistically significant, with effect sizes that would make a pharmaceutical company nervous.

So when this release says MC Lars makes literature stick, that is not a boast. It is a finding, with a methodology section. He did not invent lit-hop. The term predates him, traced variously to Wayde Compton and to novelist Adam Mansbach, and Baba Brinkman had already built a body of work under the name, including a 2006 album called Lit-hop. What MC Lars did was popularize it, carry it into classrooms, and put it in front of enough people that the term now appears in the Cambridge Companion to Hip-Hop. A lesser press release would have quietly promoted him to inventor. He asked us not to. He has been rapping about Poe since “Mr. Raven” in the mid-2000s, released The Edgar Allan Poe EP in 2012, and performed “Flow Like Poe” at Carnegie Hall with a live string ensemble for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. He gave a TEDxUSC talk connecting Tupac’s death to the final act of Hamlet.

A graduate of Stanford and Oxford, he coined “iGeneration” in a 2003 song, a usage ASCAP credited as an early instance. He charted in the Australian Top 30 with “Download This Song,” an anti-RIAA record he made while signed to a label, which the label released anyway. He has toured with Nas, Snoop Dogg, Bowling for Soup, Simple Plan and the Vans Warped Tour, and put out early K.Flay records before Interscope found her.

He is also a pioneer of nerdcore, the mid-2000s phenomenon that reached its highest cultural honor in 2016, when a Jeopardy! contestant explained the genre to Alex Trebek and he replied, “Losers, in other words.” Mega Ran, who appears on this album, answered with a freestyle. The scene has never entirely recovered, nor has it especially tried.

The Oglio release also closes a loop. The label was founded in 1993 by Carl Caprioglio and previously put out MC Lars’s This Gigantic Robot Kills and 21 Concepts (But a Hit Ain’t One). Its roster over three decades has run from Brian Wilson, whose Live at the Roxy Theatre Oglio has kept in print and expanded for a 25th anniversary edition, to Nerf Herder, Barnes & Barnes and Wesley Willis. Horris Records, the label Lars founded in 2004, began as an imprint under Nettwerk and Oglio before going independent. Twenty-two years later the Poe record walks back through the same door, which in this industry counts as a happy ending.

“I’ve been rapping about Poe since before I had any business doing it,” says MC Lars. “The EP was a sketch. This is the actual building. A year ago I sent it to 385 people who paid for it before it existed, which is the most Poe thing imaginable, except he never got the money.”

“I went and got a master’s degree to prove that teaching poetry through rap actually works, because I got tired of people calling it a gimmick. It turns out you can just measure it.”

“I want a kid to hear this record, get obsessed with ‘The Raven,’ and not realize until later that they did their homework.”

MC Lars performs at the Gathering of the Juggalos in August, several weeks before presenting a lit-hop project with Stanford University’s English Department and its Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Both are true simultaneously, which tells you most of what you need to know about the audience for this record.

PIONEERING PUNK ROCK PHOTOGRAPHER NAOMI PETERSEN CELEBRATED IN FORTHCOMING BOOK

SHOT AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

Published by Sumerian Publishing and Punk Life Naomi, the deluxe 12" x 12" hardcover will mark the first solo collection of Naomi’s influential music photography

152-page hardcover arrives October 31, 2026

Pre-Order Here

LOS ANGELES, CA — The extraordinary work and life of pioneering music photographer Naomi Petersen will be celebrated in the forthcoming book Shot at the Speed of Sound: The Photography of Naomi Petersen, announced today, August 24, in honor of what would have been Naomi’s birthday. Created by her brother, Christopher Petersen, the book is set for release on October 31, 2026, through Sumerian Publishing/Punk Life Naomi and will enter the printing process this month.

Presented as a high-quality 12" x 12" hardcover with a dust jacket, Shot at the Speed of Sound will mark the first solo collection of Naomi’s photography ever released. The 152-page book will bring together images from her remarkable 12-year career documenting the formative years of American punk, hardcore, alternative rock and heavy metal music.

Born in Japan and raised in Los Angeles, Naomi discovered punk rock as a teenager and attended a life-changing performance by The Clash with her brother Christopher. With a Nikon camera in hand, she soon transformed her passion for music and photography into a storied career.

At only 18 years old, Naomi became the house photographer for legendary independent label SST Records, capturing promotional images and candid moments with Black Flag, Descendents, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, Meat Puppets and Sonic Youth, among many others. From 1982 through 1994, her lens also documented an extraordinary range of artists, including Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Misfits, Circle Jerks, Fear, NOFX, Screaming Trees, Dinosaur Jr., Corrosion of Conformity, D.R.I., D.O.A., Pantera, Fugazi, Scream, GWAR, and early Guns N’ Roses, Flea, Dave Grohl and Nirvana.

Her photographs appeared on hundreds of album covers and inserts, promotional sheets, concert flyers, magazines, newspapers and fanzines around the world. Working in a music scene largely dominated by men, Naomi established herself as a gifted and deeply respected photographer whose images helped define how an essential era in underground music would be remembered.

In 1989, Naomi relocated from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., where she continued photographing artists associated with Dischord Records and worked at the iconic 9:30 Club. The position gave her access to nightly performances and allowed her to document another pivotal chapter in independent music, including Fugazi, Faith No More and early Nirvana in 1990.

After more than a decade behind the camera, Naomi sadly stepped away from photography in 1994. She would take her last known photographs two years later. Naomi died from liver failure on June 13, 2003, at only 38 years old.

Her brother, Christopher Petersen, has since dedicated himself to preserving, restoring and sharing Naomi’s work and legacy. Her photographs have reached new audiences through exhibitions including Rebel With a Lens in New York City, From Her to Eternity in Chicago and Norway, and The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. Her personal journals have also revealed previously untold stories about her career, creative ambitions and the mental health struggles she faced throughout her life.

A journal entry written at age 19 as her career was beginning captures Naomi’s independence, determination and belief in the future:

“I have got to be an independent woman—this is the last of being a teenager for me, I better get busy & serious! Career-wise this has been a fantastic year. I hope next year is even better. Music is where my thing is at—I’ve just got to really work at it. C’mon now mon, use yer brains! This is going to be my year!” — Naomi Petersen, December 31, 1983

More than four decades after Naomi began documenting the musicians and communities surrounding her, Shot at the Speed of Sound will offer the first book-length celebration devoted entirely to her photographs, with writing contributions by Henry Rollins, Deborah Rutherford (Debbie Patino) and Thurston Moore, in addition to Christopher Petersen.

The collection preserves the perspective of a young artist who did more than witness punk history—she helped shape its visual identity. Through Naomi’s photographs and the stories behind them, Shot at the Speed of Sound will give longtime fans and a new generation the opportunity to see punk and underground music history through her eyes.

Shot at the Speed of Sound, The Photography of Naomi Petersen will be released October 31, 2026, through Sumerian Publishing/Punk Life Naomi.

RUFIO RELEASE FIRST NEW COLLECTION IN 16 YEARS, FROM THE OUTSIDE

Five-Song EP Is Out Now via Double Helix Records and Double Felix Records

Melodic Pop-Punk Veterans Highlight Release With Focus Track “Another Letdown”

Southern California melodic pop-punk veterans Rufio have released their long-awaited new EP, From The Outside, available today, August 7, via Double Helix Records and sister label Double Felix Records. Led by the focus track “Another Letdown,” the five-song release represents Rufio’s first collection of new material since 2010’s Anybody Out There.

Arriving 25 years after the band’s landmark debut, Perhaps, I Suppose..., From The Outside reconnects longtime members Scott Sellers (vocals/guitar), Clark Domae (guitar/vocals), and Taylor Albaugh (bass/vocals), and features drummer Dylan Roy (Dragged Under, ONI, Skylimit),

“Another Letdown” captures the qualities that have long distinguished Rufio from their peers: agile musicianship, driving guitars, soaring melodies, and an emotional urgency that never comes at the expense of precision. At the same time, the song reflects a band writing from a markedly different place than they were two decades ago, with experience lending new weight and perspective to their unmistakable sound.

Written remotely by Sellers, Domae, and Albaugh, From The Outside emerged without the industry expectations or scene pressures that surrounded much of Rufio’s earlier work. That freedom allowed the band to follow their instincts, reconnect creatively, and make something rooted in who they are now.

“This EP was something fun to do with the dudes,” Sellers says. “We just wanted to make something that we are proud of and had fun doing. I’m at a weird point where I don’t really care what anyone else thinks right now. For me it was all about making something with the guys. We are old as hell now, so it’s not often we get to hang. So just being a bit more involved in each other’s lives felt really fucking good for me.”

“For the first time, there was no pressure to write a ‘hit,’ and there was no pressure of trying to write according to the direction of the scene—not that it ever mattered to us,” adds Domae.

Across its five tracks, From The Outside addresses family, grief, anxiety, reconciliation, and the perseverance required to move through life’s more difficult seasons. Rather than trying to recreate the mindset of their early twenties, Rufio approached the EP as adults whose lives and priorities have evolved—retaining the speed, technical ability, and melodic instincts of their foundational records while writing with a greater sense of reflection.

The EP was produced by Rufio, mixed by JUNO Award-winning producer Sam Guaiana (Silverstein, Bayside, Neck Deep), and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Jason Livermore (Rise Against, NOFX, Descendents, Hot Water Music) at The Blasting Room.

Rufio began signaling their return earlier this year with a newly recorded version of the fan favorite “Dipshit,” released in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Perhaps, I Suppose.... The band followed it with the soaring single “Maps”. With the arrival of From The Outside, what began as a commemoration of Rufio’s past has become the opening of an entirely new chapter.

More than two decades after earning a devoted following through their singular combination of pop-punk immediacy and technically ambitious musicianship, Rufio sound energized, assured, and fully present on From The Outside. The new EP doesn’t attempt to turn back time—it shows what can happen when old friends reconnect, remove the expectations, and rediscover why they wanted to make music together in the first place.

From The Outside is out now via Double Helix Records and Double Felix Records.

Save Ferris

Led by the indomitable Monique Powell, Save Ferris first burst onto the SoCal scene in the mid-’90s with their infectious fusion of ska, punk, and pop. Their debut album It Means Everything—released via Epic/Sony Records—went platinum, cementing their place among the defining acts of the third-wave ska movement. The band’s fearless reimagining of Come On Eileen became an instant classic, while their three alternative radio singles all charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with two breaking into the Billboard Top 40.

Save Ferris has gone on to tour the world—from Indonesia to Slovenia—playing thousands of shows for millions of fans over the past three decades. Known for their explosive horn sections, driving guitars, and Powell’s unmistakable vocals, the band has remained one of ska’s most enduring and influential voices.

Now celebrating nearly 30 years of global touring and musical resilience, Save Ferris continue to push forward with new releases and a renewed creative spark.

About Save Ferris:
Hailing from Orange County, CA, Save Ferris helped define the sound of the late-’90s ska-punk explosion with their electric blend of brass, attitude, and irresistible melodies. Led by vocalist Monique Powell, the band continues to spread joy and empowerment through their music—proof that ska’s heartbeat is as strong and soulful as ever.

What others have said about Save Ferris' live show:

"There was never a dull moment onstage with Save Ferris. Powell led a powerhouse performance throughout the set; it was the most fun I’ve seen a band have onstage in a while. Her talent and charm as a front-woman carried the show with a mixture of sensational vocals, a sense of vulnerability, and comedic instinct."- OC Music News

"Finally, the arrival of Save Ferris proved that no matter how much has changed, some things never will. The room weighed heavy, thick with anticipation for a band some of us have stayed in touch with for 25 years and some of us were finally over ourselves enough to embrace again. I was immediately reminded why I fell in love with SF so many years ago."- That's Good Enough For Me

"Save Ferris arrived on stage to thunderous applause. From that point, the electricity in the general admission area swept up everyone and, probably for the first time in years, I saw an audience moved to a frenzy of ska dancing. Save Ferris gave you exactly what you wanted to hear performed and exactly the experience you’d expect."- That Music Magazine

"Powell’s stage persona seems tailor-made for a Vegas residency; on this evening, she slipped easily between genres such as swing and pop and proved she could drop entertaining, wise-cracking stage banter with the best of them."- San Diego Reader

Steve Conte

Acclaimed NYC Guitarist, Singer & Songwriter Steve Conte (New York Dolls, Michael Monroe) Releases New Single "Fourth of July" (Co-Written by Andy Partridge of XTC)

New LP Coming In 2024

"Rock n’ Roll done the old fashioned way, with big chords, tasty guitar licks and a vocal aged to perfection. It’s a track that oozes positivity and shines bright with a good time vibe. It’s good to live in a world where Steve Conte feels the need to create music like this."- Backseat Mafia

"An exhilarating preview of what is to come from his next album due in 2024."- Louder Than War

***

New York City guitarist, singer and songwriter Steve Conte has released a new single, co-written with Andy Partridge (XTC) titled "Fourth of July."

The song also features drummer Prairie Prince ( The Tubes & Todd Rundgren) who played on XTC’s classic album, 'Skylarking.' On bass is Steve's brother John Conte, with Andrew Hollander on piano.

The track serves as a follow-up to his 2021 acclaimed solo album Bronx Cheer, and offers an early preview of his upcoming new LP due out in 2024 via Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records.

“Fourth of July” was written with one of my favorite songwriters of all time, from one of my fave bands - Andy Partridge of XTC. I feel blessed to be writing with one of my heroes…and to be recording for Little Steven Van Zandt’s label, Wicked Cool Records," says Conte.

"With a title like “Fourth of July” I knew I didn’t want to make this song lyric at all patriotic American or about Independence Day - I wanted it to be about the sparks that fly, the fireworks that go off in a relationship. One with intense chemistry…love, fulfillment …bombs bursting in air, ya know? Explosions, yes - but no stars & stripes.

The chorus of the song is one that I’ve had kicking around since the 90s. I wrote the hook while getting ready to leave my NYC apartment for some July 4th event - I just started singing about what was happening that day. The hook was all there; chords, melody, the title lyric, the phrasing - complete with that odd timing. I thought it could be something special because I never forgot it."

On Working With Partridge, he says, "When I presented the idea to Andy, we had already written 4 songs together, so we were on a roll. I played it for him and without hesitation, he knew exactly where to go for the verse. That was exciting, after having this baby lay dormant for decades. He rattled off the verse melody, we came up with most of the verse chords together and then after we left the Zoom session, I tweaked some of the chords & melody a bit to fit my vibe. AP came up with the very cool guitar interlude and gave me some great arrangement ideas, as did my ‘remote’ co-producer Andrew Hollander.”

Long known for his memorable guitar work as a member of New York Dolls, as well as former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe’s band (with whom he still performs), Steve found international fame in recent years via his collaborations with Japanese composer and artist Yoko Kanno on the soundtracks to several hit anime series, including Cowboy Bebop.

Over the years he’s also worked with Peter Wolf, Eric Burdon of The Animals, Willy DeVille, Billy Squier, Willie Nile, Maceo Parker, and even been Paul Simon’s tour rehearsal vocal stand-in.

Conte first met Wicked Cool founder Stevie Van Zandt when the Dolls played Van Zandt’s Underground Garage Festival in 2004. “But my connection with him goes back to Jersey,” he says. “I grew up with his cousins in Matawan [near the Jersey shore], so I had been hearing about his legend for years.”

***

Raised in a musical family – Steve’s mother Rosemary Conte is a noted NY/NJ jazz singer – Steve started spending time in New York City as a kid, his father bringing him to his first Madison Square Garden concert, by none other than Chuck Berry. Some years later, Conte found himself playing an entire show onstage in Berry’s band. His own music first gained notice when his band Company Of Wolves signed to Mercury Records, releasing a self-titled album on the label in 1990.

What others have said:

"Bronx Cheer simply oozes cool and is an album full of attitude, energy and above all else, a real heart and soul, deep from within the bowels of New York’s rich musical heritage. A magnificent collection of songs, full of great melodies and fuzzed-up guitars, ranging from hard edged rock ’n’ roll to a heartfelt and soulful beauty. "- Louder Than War

"...as rowdy and raucous a collection of rock and roll as any you’ll hear this year. Not only are the songs quintessential New York City, they are the epitome of the city’s black leather clad heart and soul. "- Blog Critics

"The best rock and roll has the power to lift the sedentary from their chairs and make even the most blasé sing along. That’s a good description of what happens when you crank up Steve Conte."- Elmore Magazine

"A bright, fuzzy sounding slice of American pop rock suitable for all."- Backseat Mafia

ENTER THE CALLING FAN CONTEST:
https://tlgent.ffm.to/thecalling-contest

After more than two decades, multi-platinum rock band THE CALLING will release their long-awaited third studio album, Before The World Turns To Dust, on September 25 via TLG | Virgin Music Group.

The 15-track collection marks THE CALLING’s first full-length album since 2004’s Two and arrives 25 years after their Platinum-selling debut, Camino Palmero, launched the Los Angeles band onto the international stage.

In the years since, THE CALLING have sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, generated billions of streams, regularly registered more than eight million monthly Spotify listeners, and performed for sold-out audiences across multiple continents. Their music has been heard everywhere from the closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics to the opening of the Academy Awards.

At the center of that legacy is “Wherever You Will Go,” the song Alex Band wrote when he was just 15 years old. The breakout hit reached the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100, spent 23 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart, was named Billboard’s No. 1 Adult Pop Song of the Decade, and has since surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.

Perhaps most remarkably, THE CALLING have maintained that connection with listeners without releasing a new album in 22 years. That changes on September 25th.

Before The World Turns To Dust finds founding singer, songwriter, and guitarist Alex Band joined by Daniel Damico (lead guitar, keyboards) and Dom Liberati (bass, backing vocals). Produced by John Fields and recorded in Nashville and Minneapolis, the album embraces the soaring melodies, emotional immediacy, and unmistakable vocals that have defined THE CALLING from the beginning without attempting to chase contemporary trends.

“If you like The Calling, you’re going to like this,” says Band. “It’s in the same vein of what we’ve done since day one. We keep it simple. After all of this time, we still write big and anthemic rock-pop songs that uplift and make you feel something.”

“We aren’t trying to chase any current trends or change our sound,” he adds. “We’re just hoping that our big, anthemic sound resonates and that we can connect with people around the world. It’s truly our fans who have kept us alive, never giving up on us like we have never given up on ourselves and our belief that music does so much more than just entertain.”

The album is introduced by “Dust,” a sweeping meditation on love, human connection, and the forces that bind people together even when the world seems to be coming apart.

“We were initially writing ‘Dust’ as a timeless love song set in an apocalyptic world—kind of like what ours feels like at the moment—but then the song got a bit deeper,” Band explains. “We’re all basically born from cosmic dust and connected by the same energy that flows through us. Maybe love amplifies that subatomic connection. Maybe love can even transcend space and time.”

More than 20 years after their last radio campaign, THE CALLING are already making their presence felt again, with “Dust” ranking as the 7th most-added track at HOT AC radio the week of August 12—a return to the format the band dominated in the early 2000s.

The band have now followed the official Tom Flynn-directed video for “Dust” with a new acoustic performance of the single, offering a stripped-down take on the song ahead of the album’s September release.

The road back to THE CALLING was anything but straightforward. After the band’s second album, Two, in 2004, label and industry complications stalled their momentum, and Band eventually released his solo album We’ve All Been There in 2010. Not long after, he received a devastating Parkinson’s diagnosis and spent the next seven years struggling to regain his motor skills. By 2018, however, his condition had dramatically improved and his symptoms had receded, allowing him to turn his attention back to THE CALLING, begin writing again, and return to stages around the world.

“When we finished our second record, I thought I would do my solo thing for two years and go back to The Calling,” Band says. “I never imagined all of the ensuing drama. The Calling is what I wanted from the beginning. When we got back on the road, it was crazy to see all of the fans who stuck by me. I didn’t even know I’d be alive at this point. It’s changed my perspective. Each day is a pleasant surprise, especially when things work out.”

THE CALLING’s return is also being supported by a partnership with Main & Meta and its AvenueD fan engagement platform, designed to create a more direct connection between the band and the listeners who have stuck with them throughout the years. Through the AvenueD community, fans can engage with Alex Band and THE CALLING beyond traditional streaming and social media, including through the band’s newly launched fan contest.

The contest offers some decidedly uncommon prizes. The Grand Prize is a private acoustic performance by THE CALLING at the winner’s home (U.S. residents only), while First Place receives a Golden Laminate granting the winner and a guest entry to any THE CALLING performance anywhere in the world, forever. Second Place includes a VIP Experience at the concert of the winner’s choice, and Third Place receives an autographed limited-edition colored vinyl copy of the new album when released.

The partnership reflects a shared goal between The Label Group and Main & Meta to explore new ways for artists to build meaningful, lasting relationships with their fans, with THE CALLING serving as an early example of what that model can look like in practice.

The Chesterfield Kings

THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS UNEARTH “LOOSE ENDS: 1989–2004 RARE, B-SIDES & UNRELEASED”

Out October 31 via Wicked Cool Records

Stream Here

"Satisfying album from the garage rock revivalists"- MOJO

Rochester, NY — From the garage-fueled shadows of upstate New York, The Chesterfield Kings return this Halloween with Loose Ends: 1989–2004 Rare, B-Sides & Unreleased — a ferocious collection from one of rock & roll’s most enduring underground legends. Out October 31 via Wicked Cool Records, this anthology cracks open the vault to deliver a fuzz-drenched feast of rarities, forgotten gems, and unreleased recordings spanning the band’s wildest years.

Stream here: https://orcd.co/chesterfieldkingslooseends

For the first time ever, these deep cuts and obscure one-offs — many previously scattered across hard-to-find vinyl and CD pressings — are being digitally remastered and compiled into one explosive release. It’s a time capsule of pure rock swagger: stomping rhythms, snarling guitars, and that signature Kings attitude that has influenced generations of garage revivalists and true believers.

Among the treasures is one previously unreleased track: the band’s never-before-heard version of “White Christmas.” As frontman Andy Babiuk explains:

“We did a lot of obscure recordings that came out on vinyl and CDs on various labels but very few were ever printed. For the first time we’ve compiled all of these recordings and we're glad that they are finally coming out digitally remastered for everyone to check out. One unreleased track we found is a recording of the classic ‘White Christmas’ that we were asked to record for the film Christmas With The Kranks. They used the song ‘Hey Santa Claus’ that we wrote for the movie, but not ‘White Christmas’, so this is the first time that this never released Chesterfield Kings’ version of the Christmas classic can be heard!”

Featuring covers of The Kinks, The Lyres, and others, Loose Ends captures the raw energy and spirit that have always defined The Chesterfield Kings.

ABOUT THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS

Formed in the late ’70s and hailing from Rochester, New York, The Chesterfield Kings are revered as architects of the 1980s garage rock revival. Over their career, they’ve released 11 albums and 15 singles, toured the world, and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and even The Sopranos.

Their explosive live shows and unwavering devotion to authentic, high-octane rock have cemented their reputation as cult heroes and true keepers of the flame.

The Cocktail Slippers

COCKTAIL SLIPPERS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM JOY RIDE, OUT AUGUST 28

Norwegian Rock ’n’ Roll Powerhouse Delivers a High-Octane Mix of Big Guitars, Power-Pop Hooks and Signature Harmonies

Pre-Save/Pre-Order Here

Watch The "This Town" Video Here

"Simply put, ‘Joyride’ is bloody fantastic."- Real Gone

"One of the fiercest live-wire acts to emerge from Oslo.” - Amplify the Noise

"Rock and roll for the sake of being fun, and that's exactly why we love The Cocktail Slippers."- If It's Too Loud

“A raw and captivating sound.” — Amplify Music Magazine

OSLO, NORWAY — Norwegian rock favorites Cocktail Slippers will release their exhilarating new full-length album, Joy Ride, on August 28, 2026 via Wicked Cool Records. Fueled by swagger, irresistible hooks and pure adrenaline, the record captures the band at full throttle—louder, freer and more alive than ever.

Rooted in the golden age of ’70s rock but charged with a modern punch, Joy Ride combines big guitars, sing-along choruses and the band’s signature girl-group harmonies. The result is a high-energy soundtrack for open roads, late nights and crowded clubs, packed with songs made to be played loud.

“Buckle up and hit the gas—Joy Ride is the electrifying new album from Norway’s unstoppable rock ’n’ roll powerhouse, Cocktail Slippers,” the band says. “Built on late nights, endless highways and the unbreakable bond of a band chasing the next stage, Joy Ride is a celebration of freedom, friendship and the thrill of the ride itself. No brakes. No limits. Just rock ’n’ roll.”

The infectious title track sets the album in motion with a hard-rocking rush inspired by the swagger and larger-than-life energy of ’70s rock. “Good Love” delivers irresistible charm, while “123” and “This Town” showcase the band’s instinct for immediate, hook-filled songwriting.

An ode to the Cocktail Slippers’ hometown of Oslo, “This Town” brings a more melodic, pop-driven dimension to the album. Its shimmering melodies, warm harmonies and relaxed groove reflect the many sides of the place the band calls home—from dark streets and rough edges to children playing, sunshine and the everyday moments that give a community its character.

“‘This Town’ is an ode to our residential town, Oslo, Norway,” the band explains. “But most of all, it’s a song reflecting on the different layers in any town. You have dark streets and shady people at the same time as you have kids playing, sunshine and good vibes. It’s a vibe, it’s a feeling. It’s all about love for the place you live.”

Elsewhere, “I Still Dream You” reveals a more heartfelt and melodic side of Cocktail Slippers without sacrificing the edge that runs throughout the record. Together, the songs underline the band’s versatility while remaining grounded in the grit of garage rock, the shine of power pop and the fearless attitude that has defined their career.

Recorded at Propeller Studios in Oslo with engineer Michael Scott Hartung, Joy Ride finds Cocktail Slippers expanding their sound while remaining true to the spirit that has made them one of Norway’s most beloved rock exports.

For more than two decades, Cocktail Slippers have built an international following with their distinctive combination of rock ’n’ roll swagger, timeless melodies and undeniable charm. Their energetic live performances and infectious songwriting have earned the band a loyal audience around the world, and Joy Ride captures that chemistry in its most immediate and exhilarating form yet.

Whether blasting from the speakers on a midnight highway or shaking the walls of a packed club, Joy Ride invites listeners to turn it up, sing along and enjoy every mile.

Joy Ride arrives August 28, 2026, and is available to pre-save now.

We had so many bits and pieces and once we could finally get into the studio it all just flew out of us, like we had been holding something vital & urgent in for years. Because we had. If you love The Dollyrots you’ll love “Night Owls". If you don’t know The Dollyots, you’ll probably love it too,” says singer / bassist Kelly Ogden.

Time Spent Driving

TIME SPENT DRIVING RELEASE NEW ALBUM LOST LEAVES VIA THIRTY SOMETHING RECORDS

Santa Cruz emo veterans spotlight “The Red Dress,” featuring guest vocals from Chris Wicky of Favez

Stream Here

"There is a certain kind of emo and melodic indie rock that has always got to me very quickly. It has enough edge in the guitars to keep things interesting, but it never treats emotion as something that needs to be pushed to the limit. Time Spent Driving have always understood that balance, and “Lost Leaves” is full of those small decisions that make this kind of music work: a chorus opening at exactly the right moment, a guitar line left alone instead of buried under another layer, a melody strong enough to carry the song without asking for attention. You can hear why people with a post-hardcore background would connect with it, but these are simply very well written songs, with patience, taste and just enough tension underneath."- Idioteq

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Veterans of the late ’90s and early 2000s emo and indie-rock scene Time Spent Driving have released their fourth full-length album, Lost Leaves, out now via Thirty Something Records.

The album’s focus track, “The Red Dress,” features guest vocals from Chris Wicky of Swiss indie-rock band Favez and revisits an unfinished song that frontman Jon Cattivera first began writing nearly two decades ago.

Stream “The Red Dress” here:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5QbJAIMp2vGQoMFzJ3vUU7

Stream and order Lost Leaves here:

https://found.ee/tsd_lost_leaves

Vinyl is available in two limited editions:

Orange Mix (100 copies) — Thirty Something Records/Band Exclusive

Translucent Red with Black Marble (200 copies)

Originally conceived around 2008, “The Red Dress” was rediscovered and substantially rewritten while Cattivera was working on Lost Leaves. Although a few pieces of the original idea remain, the finished song took on an entirely new life during the album’s especially productive writing sessions.

“This was originally written around 2008, if I remember correctly, but it was never finished or used for anything,” says Cattivera. “It had a lot of potential, so when I was on a roll writing the album, I decided to crack it back open and see what I could do. I basically rewrote most of it and kept the good parts, so it really feels like a brand-new song. We’re really happy with where we landed.”

The song’s emotional premise was inspired by a night Cattivera and his wife spent in Seattle after unsuccessfully trying to get into a sold-out performance by Chad Price and Rocky Votolato.

“My wife and I have spent a lot of time in Seattle over the years, and we tried to see Chad Price and Rocky Votolato at a club up there, but the show was sold out, so we watched a little from outside,” Cattivera recalls. “She was a little edgy that day for whatever reason, and as we were walking back, I came up with the concept that I had somehow been shot during the walk. It would have been a terrible time to die and lose someone after everything we had been through together.”

“The Red Dress” also reconnects Time Spent Driving with an old friend from the band’s years on the road.

“It features guest vocals from Chris Wicky of Favez, who we toured with in both Germany and the U.S.,” Cattivera adds. “I was stoked to bring him out of retirement and get some of his chops involved.”

“The Red Dress” joins the previously released singles “Weak Arm,” “December” and “She’s the One,” each revealing a different side of an album that balances emotional reflection with renewed urgency and melodic drive.

Time Spent Driving’s fourth full-length captures a band operating with fresh momentum and creative purpose. Rooted in the emotionally direct songwriting that has defined the group since its earliest days, Lost Leaves pushes their sound forward with sharper arrangements, stronger melodies and some of their most confident work to date.

Much of the album was written before the band’s previous record had even been released. The bulk of the material emerged during an especially prolific period between October 2022 and January 2023 before being refined collaboratively by the full band.

“I spent far too many of my years leading up to this record in a dark place, and when I finally came out of it, I felt like I had a new lease on life,” says Cattivera. “After building a small home studio, I found myself more creative, inspired and focused than ever before. Writing the majority of this album felt effortless, and I found myself editing things down more than trying to fill in the blanks. We also did a lot more file sharing this time around, so it became a much more collaborative process than in the past.”

Produced by Olav Tabatabai and Jon Cattivera, Lost Leaves was recorded at Compound Recordings in Santa Cruz, California, with additional recording completed at Cattivera’s Breathing Trees home studio in Boulder Creek. Tabatabai also engineered and mixed the album, while Dan Coutant mastered the record at Sun Room Audio.

Along with Wicky’s appearance on “The Red Dress,” Lost Leaves features guest contributions from Marc Allen (Counterfit, Helen Earth Band, Finch), Casey Linstrom (Fighting Jacks), Pete Johnson (Cutlass Supreme), Amanda Cattivera, Dain Griffin (Merit) and keyboardist Paul Nolan.

Formed in Santa Cruz in 1998, Time Spent Driving helped define a pivotal era of emo and indie rock through emotionally charged songwriting, dynamic live performances and relentless touring throughout North America and Europe. The band’s catalog includes Walls Between Us, the J. Robbins-produced Just Enough Bright, I’m Your Stab in the Back, Passed & Presence and 2023’s Estrangers.

Their music has been released through Sessions, Doghouse, Deep Elm, Rise, Cardigan, Negative Progression and other respected independent labels, while the band’s songs also appeared in the Xbox games Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding and Amped 2.

More than 25 years after forming, Time Spent Driving begin another chapter with Lost Leaves. The band will return to the stage later this year to perform its new material live.

Boston, MA — Acclaimed ska and soul collective Westbound Train have released their long-awaited new album, Sing the Ghost Away, via Org Music.
