THE MENZINGERS
Announce New Album ‘Hello Exile’
To be released 04 October
Music video for new single ‘Anna’ released

Philadelphia-based punk band, The Menzingers will release their sixth studio record ‘Hello Exile’ on October 04 via Epitaph.

The album arrives as the follow-up to the band’s 2017 critically acclaimed release ‘After The Party’, which debuted #19 on the Billboard Top Current Albums Chart and #67 on the Top 200. In creating the album, the band again joined forces with producer Will Yip (Mannequin Pussy, Quicksand), spending six weeks recording at Yip’s Conshohocken, PA-based Studio 4. “That’s the longest amount of time we’ve ever worked with Will,” notes vocalist Greg Barnett. “We wanted to make sure these stories didn’t get lost in the music, so we kept it to a lot of room sounds with the guitar and bass and drums.” 

The band has released the video for the first single off the forthcoming record, ‘Anna’. On the track, The Menzingers turn their incisive songwriting to matters of love and romance, exploring the glories and failures of human connection. A wistful piece of jangle-pop, ‘Anna’ paints a portrait of lovesick longing, complete with dreamy recollections of wine-drunk kitchen dancing.

Wearing their hearts on their sleeves, and bringing a punk rock tear to our eye, as always, this new track is a stand out in the Menzingers catologue, check it out now…
