Fresh from their UK stint supporting Good Charlotte (featuring Mikey Way!) and appearances at Reading and Leeds festivals, Texas pop-punkers Waterparks have announced their highly anticipated debut album Double Dare is set for release via Easy Life Records on November 4. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with Benji Madden (Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer) and Courtney Ballard (5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low).
The trio have given fans a sneak peek of the album with the premiere of exciting lead single Stupid For You which can be found alongside pre-orders on the band’s website.

Frontman Awsten Knight is excited about the release, as you can see in our interview with him here, says of the album; “It’s just more. Everything about it is expanded and bigger. We wanted to push the boundaries to show people that you can be more than one thing. This isn’t just a “pop-punk” band and I think when people hear the rest of the album, it’ll be pretty apparent. There are songs that have elements of jazz, hip-hip, pop, indie, electronic, punk, etc. As far as the lyrics go, they’re more personal than they’ve been on any other Waterparks release. This album has been in the works since last August or September, and in that time I’ve felt and dealt with a lot of different things. I was probably more open than I should be with some stuff but it’s fine. Honest songs are always best. It’s also got me at my happiest, so that’s a thing too.”
