Neck Deep
Album: TBA (Hopeless Records)
Release Date: TBA
British pop-punk heavyweights Neck Deep were busy in the studio last year working on their currently untitled fourth outing. When asked on how the album is shaping out, vocalist Ben Barlow told Press by Bad Seed, “It’s fucking terrifying when you have nothing done for it and you don’t know how things are going to come out sounding. I’ve sat at home and I’ve written stuff but I rely on the other guys a lot to bring stuff forward and I just don’t know what everyone else is writing yet. We’re going to take our time with this record, essentially. We’re going to take up to a year to write it, if it happens sooner then cool, if it happens later then that’s fine too. We’re putting no pressure on ourselves with it.” The only track we’ve heard was the interesting “She’s A God,” which came out last summer.
Lana Del Rey
Album: White Hot Forever (Interscope Records/Polydor Records)
Release Date: Late 2020
Literally days after dropping her new album Norman Fucking Rockwell!, indie pop artist Lana Del Rey said she wasn’t taking a break and was already working on album number seven. Titled White Hot Forever, the album, according to a piece by The Times, has parts written already for the record. “It’s called White Hot Forever. I feel like it probably will be a surprise release sometime within the next 12 or 13 months,” she added. No singles have yet to appear from the album.
Movements
Album: TBA (Fearless Records)
Release Date: TBA
After spending a majority of 2019 touring and selling their mercy like hotcakes, Movements decided that they would start off the decade right by working on their second album. The untitled sophomore release by post-hardcore group Movements seems to be a killer good time. No release date nor single has come out yet.
Beach Slang
Album: The Deadbeat Bang Of Heartbreak City (Bridge 9 Records/Quiet Panic)
Release Date: 1/10
You don’t have to wait too long for Beach Slang to drop a new album. The Philly indie punk band will finally drop their third album later this month. The Deadbeat Bang of Heartbreak City is looking to be a powerful debut for the band as it will also be there first album with Bridge 9 Records (American War Machine, Slapshot, War On Women.) And from the two songs we’ve heard so far, them being “Bam Rang Rang” and “Tommy In The 80s.” Get it when it drops in a week.
All Time Low
Album: TBA (Fueled By Ramen)
Release Date: TBA
After a brief hiatus in 2019 for the band to work on other projects or endeavors, the Baltimore pop-punk band are back together writing songs on their second album with Fueled By Ramen (A Day To Remember, grandson, WhoHurtYou) and eighth record overall. We’ve been given a small taste of what might come in the form of an amateur video containing a new track called “Getaway Green.” They also posted a cryptic teaser which had their Last Young Renegade shirt being burnt, signifying that new music is on its merry way.
Dance Gavin Dance
Album: TBA (Rise Records)
Release Date: TBA
After blowing our minds with Artificial Selection two years back, post-hardcore legends Dance Gavin Dance are ready to do it again with their upcoming ninth album. So far, DGD teased us with two killer tracks, “Head Hunter” and “Blood Wolf.” And if those two songs show us what #9 may sound like, then it’s destined to be Album Of The Year worthy.
Fireworks
Album: Higher Lonely Power (TBA)
Release Date: TBA
Pop-punk band Fireworks came out of retirement late last year when they surprised us with a new song called “Demitasse.” It was their first new song since disbanding in 2015. The only info we know on their comeback record is title Higher Lonely Power and a 2020 release date. Besides that, nothing else has come out. Either way, be stoked for more Fireworks.
Mayday Parade
Album: TBA (Rise Records)
Release Date: TBA
Beloved Floridian pop-rock quintet Mayday Parade have been busy since early 2019 working on demos for their eighth studio album and second overall with Rise Records (Crown The Empire, Kvelertak, Of Mice & Men.) No more news has come out from the group about the record, but they did give us a Christmas song to keep us cozy during the winter months. One thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be amazing.
Less Than Jake
Album: TBA (Pure Noise Records)
Release Date: TBA
“Love it or hate it, Less Than Jake is entering a new era. We have had a new drummer for just shy of a year, and the next album is being written without our old lyricist/drummer. There seems to be confusion on the matter, and I hope I can clear up any questions.” That’s all the news we’ve gotten so far from Less Than Jake bassist/vocalist Roger Lima when he posted that message on social media. Their ninth album and first new record in seven years will come out sometime this year on Pure Noise Records (The Amity Affliction, LURK, Take Offense.)
The Ghost Inside
Album: TBA (Epitaph Records)
Release Date: TBA
After going through hell and back after their tragic bus accident in 2015, Californian hardcore band The Ghost Inside are back with new music. The only reason we know of this is from a tweet the band made, tagging producers Will Putney (The Acacia Strain, Northlane, Thy Art Is Murder) of Fit For An Autopsy and Jeremy McKinnon (The Devil Wears Prada, Neck Deep, Veara) of A Day To Remember and longtime label Epitaph Records (Ariel View, guccihighwaters, Off With Their Heads.) Updates have been quite scarce since, but all we know is that the world needs more TGI.
