Destroy Boys will release new album Funeral Arrangement #4 on August 9 through Hopeless Records.
“Looking back, our first three albums marked the deaths of things,” says guitarist Violet Mayugba.
“They were soundtracks to our funerals, whether they were for our ages or our mental states. We’ve gone through a lot of changes as a band and as people.”
Destroy Boys formed in 2015, when the founding members were still teenagers, and each release has marked a period of growth and change.
“The first one was our high school album,” Violet explains.
“On the second record, we went to college and were saying goodbye to our childhood. On the third one, we’d just gone through COVID and, speaking for myself, I lost my entire sense of self and gained a new one.”
Tracklist:
Bad Guy

The Offspring will release new album Supercharged on October 11 through Concord Records.
Frontman Dexter Holland said: “We wanted this record to have pure energy – from the start to the finish! That’s why we called it SUPERCHARGED. From the height of our aspirations to the depths of our struggles, we talk about it all on this record…in a way that celebrates the life that we share and where we are now.
“Our single “Make It All Right” is a great example of this because it talks about the people in our lives who make us feel strong when we are feeling low – our partners in crime who make us feel all right.
“The album was recorded in three different locations this time around: Maui, Vancouver, and our home studio in Huntington Beach, and together with our producer Bob Rock everything came out awesome. I feel like this is the best we have ever sounded! We’ve been rocking out and head-banging to it for months! And we can’t wait for you guys to hear it!”
