The Menzingers share "Bad Catholics"; new LP 'After the Party' due in February
Over the summer, The Menzingers released a very promising new song “Lookers,” and revealed that they were working on a new album. Now Chorus.fm points to an ad in an upcoming festival guide that says the album’s called After The Party and due out February 3, 2017 via Epitaph. Will Yip produced it.
The Menzingers also returned today with a new single, “Bad Catholics,” which is yet another lyrical, heart-on-sleeve, anthemic punk ripper and is keeping hopes for After the Party pretty high. They’ve been playing it live too. Listen to the studio version and watch the band play it in their hometown of Scranton:
