Chicago-based punk artist Sincere Engineer is cooking up new music. The talented story-spinner announced on June 28 that her next full-length studio album, Cheap Grills, will be released September 22, 2023. She also treated fans to a taste of what to expect, delivering her newest single, “California King,” that same day. The punchy track was largely inspired by her hometown of Chicago, and the ever-impending feeling of restlessness we all get when we spend too much time in our native city.

Punk rocker and EMMY-nominated Craig of the Creek songwriter Jeff Rosenstock does the unthinkable: he is actually announcing an album before releasing it. HELLMODE, Rosenstock’s fifth studio album, is coming on September 1st via Polyvinyl Records.

Chicago diet punk band Guardrail is back! The band has announced their new album Content, set to be released on July 7th via Open Your Ears Records.

Rebuilder return today with “Another Round”, a pop-punk belter that comes flying out of the gates and barely pauses for breath through four minutes of crunching guitars and soaring synth. “Another Round” follows the May release of “Hold On” and together these two singles showcase the two unique songwriting voices that have come to define Rebuilder. While “Hold On” was the domain of Sal Ellington, “Another Round” finds Craig Stanton stepping up to deliver a reflection on choice and consequences on the road to what is and what could’ve been.

On September 15, Worriers will release their new album Trust Your Gut on Ernest Jenning Record Co. (pre-order). Trust Your Gut is the band's first studio album in years and features band members Atom Willard (Against Me!, Social Distortion), Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady), Frank Piegaro and Cayetana’s Allegra Anka. The album follows the band's acclaimed home-recorded album Warm Blanket which was released earlier this year.
