Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by New York City-based Butterbrain! The video is for their new song “Armageddon Party” which features Angelo Moore of Fishbone. The video was filmed by Jeff Pliskin of Raised Fist Propaganda. Speaking to Punknews about the song and video the band said,

”The video for the single “Armageddon Party” was filmed by Jeff Pliskin of Raised Fist Propaganda. We shot it in pieces - during the recording of the new album in Astoria in Queens, NY at Spin Studios, at our live show at Bowery Electric in NYC, and we filmed the final pieces at our rehearsal space in Long Island City in Queens, NY. 

The video features Angelo Moore of Fishbone, who produced the full album, which is set for release this spring. The connection to Angelo was made through Jeff of Raised Fist Propaganda a few years back after he saw us perform a remake of Fishbone’s song "UGLY" during a performance at Amityville Music Hall in Long Island. We recorded the song a few months back for the Classics vs. Classics Vol. 4 Compilation (produced by Jast Collum), where several bands record two covers of their favorite artists. 

We knew Jeff was the perfect person to shoot our first video from the upcoming album. He’s done several of our past videos, and his connection with us and Angelo made it a no-brainer. We are stoked to finally share the new music with our fans and followers. It was important for us to push this one out, as we feel it’s a sign of the times, and the perfect vibe for the madness in the state of the world these days. Fitting for the stress and madness the holiday season brings. An apocalyptic message, with a party twist, if you will. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.”

"Armageddon Party" is off Butterbrain's upcoming album of the same name which will be out in the spring. Watch the video for "Armageddon Party" below!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by St. Louis-based punk rockers Fight Back Mountain! The video is for their new song “No Recourse” and is off their upcoming album Death and the Miser. Speaking to Punknews about the song, the band said,

”’No Recourse’ is about as hardcore as our band usually gets. We were inspired by modern hardcore acts like One Step Closer, Prevention, and Turnstile to make this track! Lyrically it's sort of a 'throw everything at the wall' type of song that's about feeling like everything is a scam and we're all the victims. Hopefully, this feeling doesn't personally resonate with you, but chances are it probably will. And that's why we made the song!”

”No Recourse” will hit streaming services on December 19. Death and the Miser will be out on February 13 and you can pre-order it right here. Watch the video for “No Recourse” below!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Winnipeg-based punk rockers Dinner Club! The video is for their new song “Birthday Suits” and was filmed and edited by Trav Anema. Speaking about the video, the band said,

"'Birthday Suits' is about fleeting lakeside summers and the brief but formative relationships that come and go with them. This song and video follow the journey of two people who retrace their steps through their old lakeside town. As they reconnect and reminisce on the years gone by, old feelings and memories start flooding back to them. 

Considering the lyrics, we always knew we wanted to shoot this video near water. We spent an afternoon at Winnipeg Beach shooting the narrative part of this video with our wonderful extras and then shot the band performance footage at a later date closer to home. This video was shot and edited by Trav Anema, who we had previously worked with on our first single, ‘Galaxy Quest’.”

”Birthday Suits” will be available everywhere on November 14 and is off Dinner Club’s upcoming album Brave Faces which will be out on November 15. Watch the video below!

Today we are super stoked to bring you the premiere of the new video by Southampton, UK-based melodic pop punks Slackrr! The video is for their song “Save Your Breath” and was directed by Future Epic Productions. Speaking about the song and video the band said,

“We are so excited for ‘Save Your Breath’ to be released into the world. The song was written in early 2024 and was one of the first songs to be written for our upcoming album to be released via SBAM Records in summer 2025. The song focuses on something that we feel everyone can relate to: The concept of having your trust broken and then forgiving only to have your trust broken again which leads you to not wanting to hear any more excuses or lies from the person who has broken that trust.

The video for ‘Save Your Breath’ is based on this concept but with a fun twist where the band are watching a situation unfold between two friends who are initially not aware of the situation they are in, but when they find out what’s going on are quite happy to betray the other’s trust for their own benefit.”

”Save Your Breath” is available digitally via SBAM Records now. Slackrr will be touring the UK starting today and already have some festival appearances set for next year which you can see below. Watch the video below right now!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Edmonton-based punk rockers The Devil's Sons! The video is for their song “Out of Time” and was filmed on location at Edmonton music venue 2 Doors Down. Speaking about the song and video the band said,

”’Out of Time’ is a raw and unfiltered look at the world right now—where we’re at and where we’re headed if we don’t wake up. The song’s all about frustration, feeling disconnected, and questioning everything we’re being fed. But it’s also a call to rise above it, to push back against the hate and division. The video reflects that energy—dark, intense, and unapologetic. It’s a warning, but also a demand for change before it’s too late.

Filmed on location at 2 Doors Down. Huge thanks to Bearcat and the entire 2DD family for making it happen!

Videography by the talented Ryan Twosticks — edits and post-production handled in-house by our own Crash.”

”Out of Time” is off their album Now and a the Hour of Death which was released earlier this year. Watch the video below right now!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by The Dead Betties! It is for their new song “Computer Lover” and was directed by lead singer and bassist Joshua Ackley. Speaking about the song, the band said,

"Our modern relationship with technology has not only commodified love but has also numbed us to the very concept of meaningful human connection. ‘Computer Lover’ captures the bleak reality of modern intimacy, particularly within hookup culture, where connections are increasingly transactional, shallow, and digital. This song shines a spotlight on the emotional desolation that arises from a culture dominated by screens. In a world where love and intimacy are reduced to images, videos, and fleeting encounters on social media and dating apps, it becomes difficult to form deep human bonds. We are constantly surrounded by devices—swiping, scrolling, liking—and in doing so, we substitute superficial interactions for meaningful engagement.”

”Computer Lover” is off the Dead Betties’ upcoming album Impossible Future which will be out on October 18 via Rotten Princess Records. Watch the video below!

”’Do The Damned’ is a song about deciding not to be a people pleaser anymore. We wanted the video to reflect that same attitude. Drawing inspiration from the viral Wednesday Addams dance, our choreographer, Kimmay Evans, brought to life a vision full of IDGAF energy. The video was executed by director Chris Graue and features Colby Rodgers of Strawberry Fuzz, who we’ll be on tour with in December. We hope ‘Do The Damned’ will inspire you to start your own cult."

”We met Preston through Brook Pridemore, they had some pieces of Preston’s in their apartment and I LOVED the cartoony type absurdism he had going on in a lot of his work.  We were brainstorming on ideas for the record like music videos, merch, etc the morning after our show at Bar Freda in New York and I had loved a Teenage Halloween shirt one of the members of a band called Kung Fu Crimewave had on the night before that had Care Bears destroying a cop car and I remembered Steamboat Willie is royalty-free now and we were like oh we should make some type of Steamboat Willie rip.  After all, who’s the epitome of shitty bosses more than Disney?! It all sort of stemmed from that, even our new merch that has Steamboat Willie sucking on a hot dog was made by Preston.  I really love what he did with the whole concept!”

The Jukebox Romantics

Watch the new video by Jukebox Romantics!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Jukebox Romantics! The video is for their song “Packing Up My Knives” which appears in the short horror film, Meat Lovers which was directed and written by Allen Martindale. Speaking to Punknews about the song, lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Terry said,

“You know the music industry, and specifically the punk scene is very small, and over the years you get to meet some pretty rad people. These people start out as fans, then friends, and now collaborators. In Summer 2023 we were approached by Allen Martindale, who is the director and writer of Meat Lovers, the short film our new song is in. We know Allen originally through his partner Jess, whom we met being interviewed on our very first day of Warped Tour in 2010 in Salt Lake City. We kept in touch over the years and around 2017 Jess and her partner Allen had a great podcast called Talk Music To Me. Jukebox was a guest on the show and that’s where we discovered our shared love for horror movies. Fast forward to 2023 and Allen has a horror comedy film (Jess is also a producer on it) and he wants us to write an original song for it.

This is definitely a different way to approach songwriting for a band like us. We were up for the challenge. I was given the script and told to 'make it sound like The Jukebox Romantics were hanging out with The Misfits and Alkaline Trio'. So I wrote the intro and chorus riff at home. AJ came up with verse riffs, guitar hook, and James and I wrote these badass lyrics in his dining room on a Friday morning. We laid it down at a couple studios and finished it at Nada Recording and we have sat on it for almost a year waiting for the movie to be shot, edited, and sent to festivals. For a year we had the song titled ‘HORROR MOVIE SONG’ (fucken real original) while we waited for the movie to wrap. It now has a name ‘Packing Up My Knives’.

On August 1st, 2024 Meat Lovers was officially done and being sent to festivals which meant it was time for the Jukebox boys to shoot a video. We wanted it to be in a basement setting to fit the movie but also have some themes from the film in the music video. There’s lots of pizza and creepy sweaty goodness along with B-roll and scenes from the movie. It’s funny, this is our 2nd horror-themed music video, but we aren’t a horror band. I guess our lyrics are pretty fucked though. I think we just love the genre. The process was a lot of fun, and even though we had to wait a while to release it to coincide with the movie, we are beyond stoked. It’s probably all of our favorite song the 4 of us have written together and one of the best Jukebox Romantics songs ever. Boom.”

“Packing Up My Knives” will hit streaming services on September 27. Watch the video below!
