Upcoming Releases

Chicago-based punk band Watermelon is gearing up to release their sophomore album, 'No Laughing, No Crying,' on vinyl via What’s for Breakfast? Records this October.

Watermelon writes three-chord pop punk bangers which explore themes of existentialism, mental illness, and having fun with your friends. It’s straightforward punk without the nonsense of guitar solos, pedal boards or trendy bullshit. Technical perfection takes a backseat to the heartfelt honesty of songs written in a trailer park bedroom.

The new album features eleven songs which were recorded and mixed in their practice space by Erik Nervous. It was mastered for vinyl by Christina Blunda (Mean Jeans) and pressed regionally at Wisconsin’s Waxxy Poodle.
