Québec City melodic punk band shares third and final preview of ‘When Friendship’s Not Enough’, out September 4 via Thousand Islands Records.

Fast, direct and unapologetic, single is a call to take control of your own life. The track pushes back against those who try to dictate someone else’s choices—even the people closest to them—and captures the moment when breaking free becomes more important than meeting other people’s expectations.

“Song is a reminder that no one gets to choose your path or speak for you” the band says. “It’s about breaking the chains holding you back, shutting out the voices trying to steer your life and living on your own terms.”

Fueled by urgent riffs and an instantly memorable chorus, track offers one final preview of an album that finds band entering their third decade with the same honesty, energy and no-frills approach that has defined them from the beginning. Formed in Québec City in 2006, Still Insane has spent two decades delivering fast, melodic punk rock rooted in the energy and immediacy of skate punk. Fronted by vocalist Eric Dorval and signed to Thousand Islands Records, the band has built their catalog through releases including ‘Friends & Family’ and a steady run of hard-charging singles. Along the way, group has shared stages with some of punk rock’s most influential bands, including NOFX, Bad Religion, Millencolin, Guttermouth. Rather than looking backward, ‘When Friendship’s Not Enough’ channels that history into a collection of songs designed to feel immediate, alive and loud. Every track brings its own pace, personality and impact, tied together by fast riffs, catchy choruses and zero wasted words. It is Still Insane exactly as they are: direct, unfiltered and ready to be played at full volume. Sometimes friendship is enough—and sometimes it isn’t.
