State Champs have just announced their brand-new, fifth album.
The Albany pop-punk faves are going the self-titled route for the follow-up to 2022’s Kings Of The New Age, and will be releasing the record on November 8 via Pure Noise.
Produced by Anton DeLost, frontman Derek DiScanio says of what they’ve created – and why: “We found our way, through the ups and downs within us, personally and as a band, and wanted to express that. This is the right time to showcase it.”
“When we stepped back and looked at the songs, sonically and thematically, it’s a great vision of who we are,” adds bassist Ryan Scott Graham. “Every era of State Champs exists within this record.”
As a preview, the band have shared two new tracks, Silver Cloud and Too Late To Say, with the former having a great accompanying music video to boot. So much State Champs today, basically!
