Acclaimed post-hardcore art rock pioneers Shudder to Think release the video for “Release the Ball,” the latest from the Who Sent You EP – released last month via Dischord Records. The highly anticipated project marks their first in almost three decades. The video, directed by frontman Craig Wedren, reflects the track’s stark, intimate and emotional sentiment featuring live footage of the band.

Of the track, the band notes: “Craig had a little looping guitar figure inspired by Arthur Russell. He threw the idea down so as not to forget it, sang a mostly-gibberish vocal, and sent it to the band as something that could be turned into something. But Adam was like ‘no, leave it! It’s cool.’ So we added some rhythm and texture to the demo, served with love.”

To celebrate the EP’s release, Shudder To Think recently played three packed shows – their only this year – in Philadelphia, New York City and Los Angeles. The sets featured songs from the new EP alongside fan favorites. In addition to the EP release, Dischord Records has repressed the band’s 2025 “Thirst Walk” / “Playback” 7”.
