Pacific Beach punk mainstays are kicking off 2026 with their explosive new single. RIYL: NOFX, Sum 41, The Offspring, Blink-182, Unwritten Law, Sublime, Comeback Kid.

The track marks the first taste of the band’s upcoming studio album ‘Easy Listening’ and adds a deeper emotional punch to their signature skate-punk, surf-punk, SoCal-bred sound. Formed in 2014, band have carved out their own lane within Southern California’s alternative music scene, blending high-energy punk with the genre-blurring influences that first defined them. The band has performed everywhere from Baja, Mexico up the U.S. West Coast to Vancouver, Canada, and across to Arizona and Colorado—sharing stages with The Ataris, Punk Rock Karaoke, and appearing at the 2025 Punk Rock Rodeo headlined by Guttermouth. In recent years they launched their own DIY touring concept, “Hit the Slopes, Hit the Stage” a punk-rock snowboarding tour that pushes their dream of combining music, surf trips, and mountain weekends into a full-time reality. The single artwork pays tribute to the Blink-182 ‘Apple Shampoo’ single cover (1997), reimagined in a 2025 twist. The piece was created by surf-legend-turned-artist Demi Boelsterli, using the iconic skate photo of pro skateboarder Wes Kremer, originally shot by Chris “Rhino” Rooney and printed in Thrasher Magazine. After releasing their skate-punk driven album ‘Next Generation’ in 2022, Wanted Noise are now gearing up for ‘Easy Listening’, their most fully realized project to date.
