New LP ‘The Good Ole American Saturday Night’ out June 12 on SideOneDummy.

A full-throttle burst of positivity that leans into the band’s core message: choose joy, stay connected, and don’t wait to start living. Arriving on the heels of the band’s recent single and video ‘Whiplash’ the new one lands as a blast of unfiltered optimism—the kind of song that feels destined for open windows, long nights, and loud singalongs—pairing punchy horns, driving rhythms, and shout-along hooks with a message rooted in connection at a time when it feels most needed.

“it is about launching your positive self NOW” says frontman David McWane. “We haven’t experienced a positive American year in a long-long time. We won’t be able to keep living so tense. It’s time to recognize you are alive and that that experience isn’t long. It’s time to make your own sunshine & choose optimism… it is not a time to hold back love, it is a time for you to love more. Love everyday like it’s your last weekend… Start RIGHT NOW…!!!”

Both songs appear on the band’s upcoming album, ‘The Good Ole American Saturday Night’, out June 12, 2026 via SideOneDummy Records. Produced by Joe Gittleman (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones) and Matt Appleton (Reel Big Fish), the album leans into everything that’s kept the band vital—tight rhythms, sharp horns, and songs built for the kind of release only a live show can deliver. More than three decades in, this band is still doing what they’ve always done best: bringing people together, turning tension into release, and reminding you—loudly—that the moment to feel alive isn’t someday. It’s right now.
