We are thrilled to bring to you a Punknews exclusive premiere of New Jersey punks Doc Rotten. The band will be releasing their sophomore EP titled Sick & Suffering on March 29th, 2018, see below to listen to the stream. The new record was produced by Sean Glonek. The four-piece released their debut EP titled Fallout in 2017. The band will also be heading out on tour to support the release this April. You can see below for a full list of dates and a quote from guitarist Wes Bentley on the new record.
"We’re extremely excited about this record. The title track is “Sick and Suffering” is about drug addiction and trying to help people get sober and realizing you can’t help if they don’t want help. It’s also about realizing they’re sick people not bad people. Yet still shouldn’t be allowed to play the victim. We’re not against drinking or drug use but with the drug epidemic (specifically heroin) as bad as it is in cities like Trenton, it’s something that hit home on a personal level to us." - Wes Bentley.
