For years, Connecticut’s Cinema Stare have been crafting pop punk that is as heartfelt as it is infectious. The band has now announced their forthcoming Stink E.P., set for release on August 7th through Static Era Records. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Chris Teti at Silver Bullet Studios with mastering by Will Putney, the six tracks strike with high energy and emotional output. Taking cues from Motion City Soundtrack, Fall Out Boy, and Michelle Branch, you’ll hear punchy guitars, unique keyboard arrangements, and clever lyrics meant to get stuck in your head. While Cinema Stare give a bright delivery, the lyrical content addresses real modern day challenges, as vocalist Quinn states “The EP is a screw you to fascists, misogynists, and ultimately myself for how I have let people step over me in my life.”

Alongside the announcement comes the band’s latest single “James Pack,” a bouncy love song is the midst of chaos and doubt. Stream it below.
