CHICAGO PUNK HEROES HORACE PINKER RELEASE NEW VIDEO ‘THREE AGAINST ME’

CHICAGO PUNK HEROES HORACE PINKER RELEASE NEW VIDEO ‘THREE AGAINST ME’
Salad Days

OFF RECENT ALBUM ‘NOW AND THE FUTURE’ OUT NOW ON PEOPLE OF PUNK ROCK RECORDS.

Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with producer/engineer Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie). Veteran punk outfit has released the official music video the standout single from their new LP, out now via Canadian imprint. Fresh off a run of shows capped by a high-energy appearance at FEST 23, band is pushing their legacy forward with one of their sharpest, most urgent releases to date. LP marks their first full-length since 2011’s ‘Local State Inertia’—a return that finds the band sounding revitalized, purposeful, and as melodic-and-ferocious as ever. Built on driving guitars, airtight rhythms, and lyrics that balance defiance with reflection, this song captures the spirit of a band that has never stopped evolving. The video amplifies that intensity, delivering a raw, unfiltered snapshot of Horace Pinker’s signature sound and onstage electricity. “Horace Pinker returns with this LP, 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.” The album highlights the chemistry between Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), and Greg Mytych (bass/vocals). From the adrenaline of ‘Three Against Me’ to the melodic hardcore blast of ‘Call It A Day’, the LP channels the band’s decades-long commitment to honesty, urgency, and craft. The album also features cover art by JP Flexner (Beach Slang), underscoring its balance of grit, melody, and emotional weight. Confident and uncompromising, the record captures everything that’s kept Horace Pinker a global touring force for more than three decades.

4. Warmup For The Future

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, 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 eight studio albums, numerous EPs, a Fat Wreck 7-inch, and a split with Face To Face, they remain one of punk’s most enduring and quietly influential bands. As The A.V. Club once noted, their “magic mix of intersecting guitars, a forceful rhythm section, and vocals that knew when to sing and when to shout” is alive and well on new album. In addition to the new album, Horace Pinker and People Of Punk Rock Records have teamed up to give the band’s 2022 EP ‘House Of Cards’ its first-ever physical release. Originally a streaming-only, self-released EP, the collection is now available on vinyl and digipack CD for the very first time — offering fans a chance to own a proper physical edition of a key chapter in the band’s recent discography.
