With Clash-indebted guitars, neon dance-punk swagger, and a Killers-esque soaring chorus, “Automatic” gleams with pop appeal while staying true to the punk foundation the band has built its name on. It follows “Young Offenders,”and “At My Funeral.” The band also announced a 24-date North American tour in support of the album. Presented by Alternative Press Magazine, the run kicks off February 17th in San Diego and hits Austin, DC, Brooklyn, Toronto, Cleveland, and more before wrapping March 21st with a hometown show in San Francisco at Great American Music Hall. Tickets are on sale now. Prior to the US tour the band will head to the UK and EU for the third time this year for dates with The Hives.  Produced by Grammy Award-winner John Congleton, mixed by Carlos de la Garza, and featuring a duet with Sharon Van Etten, the album marks a major level-up for the band. After perfecting their kaleidoscopic take on punk across a handful of EPs and one album, they’ve entered a new era—expanding songwriting duties across the entire group, a role previously led by vocalist Michael Bingham and bassist Michael Fenton. The result is ecstatic and expansive, blending new wave burn, indie rock swagger, old-school punk, and even dub and hip-hop flourishes.
