Watch the new video by Ivory Daze!

Today, we are stoked to bring you the premiere of the new video by Lincoln, Nebraska-based power trio Ivory Daze! The video is for their new song “IV League” and is off their upcoming EP Chlorine. The video was directed by Eric Schultz and the band. Speaking to Punknews about the track, guitarist and vocalist Isahen Harms said,

“‘IV League’ is a very important song to me, written about a deeply personal time in my life. We think it’s the perfect introduction to our new sound and direction for this EP—pairing well with a tequila sunrise and your choice of geekbar. It was created with the intent of blending heavy music elements like blast beats with pop sensibilities.”

Watch and listen to Bad Mary's new live album!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of Bad Mary’s new live album, Live on Long Island, in video form! It was recorded live at their show at Industry in Long Island on February 21, 2025 and captures the magic of that show. The band played tracks from Trash and Glamour, The Mega Bad Disaster Party (with special guests from Samurai Pizza Cats and Crisis Crayons), Return of Space Girl, Glitter Bomb, We Could Have Saved the World, Killing Dinosaurs, and Better Days plus a cover of “Tie Your Mother Down” by Queen. Speaking to Punknews about the album, bassist Mike Staub said,

“We always wanted to do a live album - and while we do have live video and audio from past shows - we've never sat down to plot out a live record. We write our music first and foremost to be performed live. We want to have a good time playing and want to perform songs that are equally fun for the audience. We're all in the show together! So, when coming up with the idea to finally make a full, live album, we were excited to get after it right away.

We had booked Industry in Huntington, NY for our EP Release party with our friends Mega Infinity (get the Mega Bad Disaster Party now on SPI Records!) and have always loved that club. The sound, the vibes, the audiences are always terrific. We floated the idea since we knew we'd have a great audience there for the EP release to record the show live and put out a live album. Figured it was our best opportunity to do so.

We wanted to pick a setlist that hit all the highs of the past 12/13 years, so you get to hear a lot of our classics, and even a few newer ones in there too. We knew we had a lot of time to play with, so we chose 16 songs we love to perform live. This track list really represents our band's journey over the years from our first album until our newest original songs. With all the live energy and audience sound that we very much appreciate. We're so happy with how it came out.

We got some videographers (thanks Maya, Katie, and Dan) and were able to get the audio right from the club. It was then that David also wanted to piece this together and do individual videos for songs, but also a full live concert video - something we've never released. We wanted to include all the bits, the jokes, the stage banter, as they weave in and out with the songs - giving the viewer the true feel of what it's like at one of our shows. David did an incredible amount of work - and put something very special together - something that we think is uniquely us in every way it can be.”

Live on Long Island will be out everywhere on July 15 and you can pre-save it right here. Watch the show in full below!

Watch the new video by Butterbrain!

Today we are stoked to bring you the premiere of the new video by Butterbrain! The video is for their song “Alterboy” which is off their recently released album Armageddon Party and features a tenor sax solo from Angelo Moore of Fishbone who also co-wrote the track with frontman Aaron Collins. The video was directed by Jorge “Lolo” Rodriguez, the brother of guitarist Juan “Bebe” Rodriguez. Speaking about the song and video the band said,

”This track is pure pop-punk fun, a song about a kid (an altar boy) gone wrong - lost to a world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. The video was filmed in Rockaway Beach, Queens, and Bushwick, Brooklyn. It came together quickly with the help of some cameos, including NY guitar legend Simon Chardiet (as the priest), Rockaway jiu-jitsu fighter Kevin McGarry (as the altar boy), and cabaret dancer Lulu Kramer (as the party girl). The part of “the parents” was played by Butterbrain frontman and woman Aaron Collins and Sally May. This is the third video directed by Jorge "Lolo" Rodriguez for Butterbrain and is our favorite to date.”

Watch the new video by Cash Bribe!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Brooklyn-based Cash Bribe! The video is for “Bay of Pigs” which is off their upcoming EP Demonomics. Speaking to Punknews about the track, guitarist Kirk McGirk said,

“It’s just the exhaustion of how so many things have changed, but nothing has really changed. Government, celebrities, venture capitalists, whoever, they want what they want and it has nothing to do with us — and it benefits none of us.”

Demonomics will be out on June 13 via Futureless. Watch the video below!

Watch the new video by Rose Cora Perry and The Truth Untold!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Rose Cora Perry and The Truth Untold! The song is called “Excuses” and is the third single off their upcoming EP One Thing Left to Say. The video was directed by Rose Cora Perry and Emanuel Benyamin. Speaking to Punknews about the track the band said,

”Inspired by frontwoman Rose Cora Perry's parting with her former musical partner, it is an unapologetic breakup song. Think Alanis. She holds nothing back.

But it's also much more than that: the lyrics demand "accountability" and "responsibility" - values we should likewise seek in all affiliations whether romantic, political, social, or otherwise.

In the accompanying music video, Perry's notorious Kathryn Gunn persona re-emerges, setting fire to the past - metaphorically and literally - and ushering in a new era for her band, accompanied by bassist Jessie Taynton and drummer Steve Skrtich. 

Fans will appreciate the band sticking true to their 90s-inspired alt-rock aesthetic; this time coupled with an upbeat punk rhythm.

If you're ‘sick’ of ‘Excuses’, this song is definitely for you.”

"Excuses" will be out everywhere now and Rose Cora Perry and The Truth Untold will be touring around the US and Canada this summer. Watch the video below!

Watch the new video by Pink Snot!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Winnipeg-based punk rockers Pink Snot! The video is for “Firewater” which is the first single off their upcoming record The Great Deception. It was directed by Trav Anema and Kris Pollard. Speaking to Punknews about the song and video, lead vocalist and guitarist Katie McNorgan said,

”We shot the video in an evening in St. Agathe, Manitoba. It was done by Trav Anema and Kris Pollard. We have worked with Trav before and he just keeps getting better! The song is about alcohol, hope, despair, love and hate. It’s a mixer of emotions and cocktails that weave the tale together. This song is the first single off our upcoming second album titled The Great Deception. We had a lot of fun recording this song with John Paul Peters at Private Ear and even more fun shooting this video! We hope you all enjoy it too!!”

The Great Deception will be out later this year. Watch the video for “Firewater” below!

Watch the new video by Sad Snack!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Sad Snack! The video is for their song “Dang It Bobby!” and was directed, filmed, and edited by singer/drummer Ilan Moskowitz. The video stars several furries including Addy, Proc, and Juno / Ren T. Sad Snack trombonist Kirk Silver stars as the fur trapper. Speaking to Punknews about the video Ilan said,

”In a horrifyingly conservative time for the gender and sexual spectrum in our country, creating works of queer joy and resilience is incredibly important.”

Juno had this to say about the crossover between the furry community and the ska-punk community in the Bay Area,

“There’s a lot of furries in the Bay ska pits, more than just the ones wearing fursuits. Both scenes are very accepting, people take care of each other.”

“Dang It Bobby!” was released in 2024 as a standalone single and is available digitally everywhere now. Sad Snack will be playing Stoop Fest on May 10. Watch the video below!

Watch the new video by Taxi Girls!

Today we are super excited to bring you the premiere of the new video by Montreal-based punk rockers Taxi Girls! The video is for their song “The Lion’s Share” which is the B-side on their recently released Rainy 7-inch. The video was directed by Loïcia Samson and styled by Hanna Silver King. Speaking to Punknews about the video director Loïcia said,

 “‘The Lion’s Share’ video was inspired by a vintage punk aesthetic, reimagined with modern visuals and strong rhythm to match the song’s energy. I wanted natural shots of the band to capture their raw vibe, moving through neon-lit spaces like they owned them.

I wanted to use some mixed media, and expressive fashion, to add a fun fresh vision. Hanna Silver King’s retro rock styling was perfect for that. We created something bold, playful, and full of attitude. The scene where they eat tapes and CDs adds that fun, messy punk touch I love.” 

Taxi Girls’ Rainy 7-inch is available now via Wild Honey Records and Dirt Cult Records. Watch the video below!

Watch the new video by With Patience!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Chicago-based rockers With Patience! The video is for “Exit as Instructed” and was created by drummer and lead vocalist Lee Diamond. The video also features on-train footage shot by guitarist and vocalist Chris Wade. “Exit as Instructed” is the second single from their upcoming album Triptych. Speaking to Punknews about the song and video, the band said,

”’Exit as Instructed’ is a song about experiencing a crippling anxiety attack while riding Chicago’s L train and using the system’s instruction signs as a coping mechanism to endure it. The music video recreates that overwhelming sense of panic, immersing viewers in the experience as they travel through the city. The same signs that provided a lifeline during the attack now serve as a powerful visual tool, displaying the song’s lyrics and bringing the journey to life.”

Triptych will be out everywhere on May 9. With Patience will be playing their record release show on May 10 at TLPC.World in Chicago with sets by Orlock and Deep Tunnel Project. The show will also feature exclusive videos from the album and art by the Low Pressure Collective and Summerbluess. Watch the video below!

Watch Bad Mary's new live video!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new live video by New York-based glam punks Bad Mary! The video is for their song “Marz Attaqx” and was filmed at their show at Industry in Huntington, New York on February 21, 2025. The song originally appeared on their 2016 album We Could Have Saved The World and the live version is off their upcoming live album Live On Long Island. Speaking to Punknews about the song and video, bassist and vocalist Mike Staub said,

“We've never had the opportunity to do a live album before, so when the release party for our split EP with Mega Infinity, The Mega Bad Disaster Party, was set to take place at Industry in Huntington, we were beyond excited. It's an incredible venue in a fantastic location, with amazing sound and an incredible audience.

Honestly, we didn’t overthink it. I just threw out the idea—‘Hey, do we want to maybe do a live record?’—and the whole band was immediately on board. Everything we do is built around our live show. We only write and record songs that we want to perform live, and we've always felt that our live performance is the true Bad Mary experience. We love interacting with the crowd, feeding off their energy, and Live on Long Island really captures that. That night, we felt on fire—everyone was playing at the top of their game.

A live album has always been something we’ve talked about because performing live is the heartbeat of what we do. We’re really happy with how it turned out. We want people who haven’t seen us live to get that experience too—and yeah, we’re pretty pumped!

For prep, we put together a setlist of our favorite songs and the ones our audience loves—a mix of old and new, with plenty of “Hey!”s We basically aimed for a ‘greatest hits’ live set.

We filmed the entire concert, so it looks like we might have 16 live videos coming your way!”

The live version of “Marz Attaqx” will be out everywhere on April 15 and you can pre-save it right here. Live On Long Island will be out on July 15. Check out the video and tracklist below!
