The Menzingers Return with ‘Nobody’s Heroes’

The Menzingers have released their first music in three years. ‘Nobody’s Heroes’ was recorded with Grammy-winning producer Will Yip at his Memory Music Studios in South Philly.

The track seamlessly fits into The Menzingers‘ signature blend of working-class grit and indie punk swagger, adding new depth to their Heartland-rock sound.

“We started writing Nobody’s Heroes for Tom [May], who was going through a divorce at the time,” vocalist/guitarist Greg Barnett says. “As the song developed it became something even bigger. ‘Nobody’s Heroes’ is the story of The Menzingers. How we’re at our best when we’re ourselves.”

The Menzingers will be back in the UK in May for the Slam Dunk Festival.

Nottingham riff merchants Hggard Cat have shared ‘Warpath.’ It’s the latest track to be released from their upcoming album, ‘The Pain That Orbits Life,’ which is released on May 8th via Church Road Records.

“Warpath is about the moment when you’re clear of a negative situation in your life, a bad job, a bad relationship, a bad friendship, and all the romanticism around it has faded. That moment of clarity when you look back and realise things were actually pretty toxic throughout,” the band shared. “It’s probably one of the most intense moments on the album, and we can’t wait to tear the roofs off of some venues with it.”
