Upcoming Releases
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.
Recorded at J. Robbins’ Magpie Cage in Baltimore (January 2026), the album finds Rock’s straightforward, hook-driven songwriting tempered by the maturity of experience and lives lived and energized by new collaborators: Robbins himself on bass duties and Mario Quintero (Spotlights, Sisters, Molly McGuire) on second guitar.
The result is unmistakably TDA — punchy melodies and sing along hooks — with fresh textures and sharpened perspective. The first single from the album is ‘Throwing Rocks,’ a punk ripper. ‘Throwing Rocks’ opens with the squeal of Quintero’s guitar intro, and quickly kicks into an upbeat punk rock gem full of guitar hooks and a super catchy vocal lines about dealing with confrontation while just trying to have a good time.
…The Spirit Never Dies. is set for release on October 9, 2026, via a coalition led by long standing Philadelphia indie punk label Creep Records and Sweet Cheetah Records stateside, and with, Engineer Records (UK), and Scene Police (Germany/Europe) handling international distribution.
