Knuckle Puck are back at it with the announcement of a new album, Losing What We Love, out this October. The band has dropped the first single as well, “The Tower”, which shows the band’s growth with their fourth LP. It’ll likely keep both older and newer fans of the band happy, though. You can catch the band this fall on a co-headlining tour with fellow IL pop-punk heavyweights Real Friends.
For a long time, we felt a responsibility to have this overwhelming hopefulness to our lyrics,” Cassasanto explains. “This time around, we started writing more honestly with less intent to sound cool or hopeful. It feels like we’re in a bit of a losing battle with the state of the world, but in the past we’d say, ‘Oh, but it’s all OK!’ Now we’re saying, ‘No, we should be panicking.’ This record feels like more of an expression than a motivational speech.”
