DMV-by-way-of-the-U.K. punk duo Teen Mortgage announced their debut album, Devil Ultrasonic Dream, last month, and today they’re back with a new offering, “Party.” The track arrives alongside a D’ana Bugs-directed video. Filmed in hell with a live studio audience of demons and ghouls, the band barrels through the song via a JBTV-emulated performance.

Available April 11 via Roadrunner Records, the album’s title, Devil Ultrasonic Dream, leans into the 1980s-era satanic panic in rock and roll—especially as the country lurches further into Christian theocracy and censorship. “Devil Ultrasonic Dream,” explains frontman James Guile, “is about realizing a fantasy that Christian fascists don’t understand or want you to have. The devil—Satan—has always been a symbol of counterculture.” The song follows first single “Box.”


The band recently announced a U.S. tour in support of the album. Kicking off April 8 in Richmond, VA, the 26-date run will make stops in Atlanta, Los Angeles (a second show was just added with the sellout of the first date), San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, New York, and more before concluding May 17 in Baltimore. Tickets for the tour are on sale now. Support will include Babe Haven, Spoon Benders, and Upchuck on select dates. Tickets to all shows can be found here


Originally from England, Guile had been toying with the Teen Mortgage project under various monikers for years, crafting a sound steeped in sociopolitical commentary and built for the mosh pit, heavily influenced by classic ’80s punk. After relocating to Maryland five years ago, he connected with drummer (and former nurse) Edward Barakauskas via a Craigslist ad. Since then, the duo have spent years building Teen Mortgage’s presence in the DMV scene. In between a global pandemic and Barakauskas serving as an ER frontline worker, they managed to drop an EP and a string of singles before signing to Roadrunner Records in 2024. Teen Mortgage has earned support slots with a stacked list of artists, from Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, OFF!, and Alkaline Trio to Hotline TNT, Die Spitz, Wine Lips, and more.
