Austin punk-metal trio American Sharks have returned with their explosive new single “Bang Yer Head,” out now as the latest taste of their upcoming album Not Dead Yet, their first full-length release in six years. The track is a high-energy tribute to heavy metal resilience, featuring a blistering guest guitar solo from GWAR’s Balsac.

Known for their punchy blend of pop hooks and face-melting riffs, American Sharks have built a reputation for fusing punk urgency with stoner rock heaviness. Not Dead Yet marks a powerful comeback, packed with nine fast, hard-hitting tracks. The album also features guest appearances from notable guitarists including Mike Derks (GWAR), Zach Blair (Rise Against), Kyle Shutt (The Sword), David Sullivan (Red Fang), and Leo Lydon (Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol).
