Teenage Bottlerocket announce new LP 'Stay Rad!,' share song, touring

Wyoming punks Teenage Bottlerocket have announced a new album, Stay Rad!, due March 15 via Fat Wreck Chords (pre-order). It’s the followup to their 2017 covers album Stealing the Covers, their first album of original music since 2015’s Tales from Wyoming, and their first album since the untimely death of drummer (and co-frontman Ray Carlisle’s twin brother) Brandon Carlisle. “It’s cool how we all came together through something so tragic and made one of our best records. I think Brandon would really love it. Stealing The Covers really helped us get back on our feet and it was a cool in-between, but this record was something we wanted to make as excellent as possible,” said Ray. And co-frontman Kody Templeman adds, “I think we all had him in the back of our minds while writing and recording it. I’d like to think that he would be happy with how it turned out.”

The album was produced by longtime collaborator Andrew Berlin and mixed by Jason Livermore, and lead single “I Wanna Be A Dog” is the kind of snappy, punchy pop punk that this band has always excelled at. It’s a ripper, and you can stream it and check out the album artwork and tracklist below.

Teeange Bottlerocket are also touring, including US dates with Pegboy, and Las Vegas’ Punk Rock Bowling. Kody Templeman’s band The Lillingtons (who released their first album in 11 years in 2017) are playing Punk Rock Bowling too. All TBR dates are listed below.
