Teddy Duchamp's Army releases "This Sinking Ship" to streaming. The song is the second single from ...The Spirit Never Dies., which arrives via Sweet Cheetah Records, Creep Records, Engineer Records (UK), and Scene Police Records (Germany) on October 9.

“We aren’t a very politically themed band generally, we have dabbled here and there in the past into social and political themes, but it’s hard not to speak to what is happening in the streets everyday with militarized police kidnapping and killing with absolute immunity, coupled with an economic attack on working families and a wealth gap between the upper and lower classes widening faster than ever before," says Mike Rock. "We are a country run by pedophile oligarchs with a bloodlust for resources and power, led by an incontinent, sociopathic, narcissist who probably couldn’t pass a 7th-grade equivalency test.”

Founded in 1998 by guitarist Mike Rock for a one-off New Year’s basement show, Teddy Duchamp’s Army grew from DIY punk roots into a touring force crossing the country sharing stages with bands like Hot Water Music, Strike Anywhere, Dillinger Four, Alkaline Trio, Paint It Black, and others. They signed to Eyeball Records, surviving lineup changes, and brief re-brand as Voice In The Wire, releasing one record Signals in Transmission.

While on tour with punk legends 7 Seconds the band found itself stranded out west with crippling van troubles and another lineup spot to fill. After a few hasty decisions, the band called it quits and played a final sold out show at CBGB’s with friends Kid Dynamite.

The band reunited in Summer 2024 after being asked to open for NYC hardcore heroes Gorilla Biscuits. In the rehearsals leading up to the show, Rock, vocalist Andy Wright and drummer Jeff Kopanic discovered a renewed energy to write and record together for the first time in several years.
