<p>Editor’s Note: It’s the same thing we all know in love when it comes to Vanyaland’s recurring weekly live comedy rundown, Mic’d Up — just a slightly different face.

Today we are extremely excited to bring you the track-by-track breakdown of the debut full-length album by Cumberland, British Columbia-based punk rockers Mean Bikini! The album is called This Ain’t Gonna End Well… and features 13 incredible tracks that find the band exploring mental health, the current state of the world, getting older, and so much more. Speaking to Punknews about the album, the band said, "The album as a whole really speaks to a lot of aspects of current mental health trends and the worsening political climate which are all tied together because let’s face it, the world's fucked and we can all feel it getting worse. That has an effect on us whether or not we realize it. The album features some heavy hitters on guest vocal spots like Sarinn from Vancouver punk band Alien Boys and Rowan from Seattle's Shame Banger. We wanted to loop in other artists who share the same message and vision for their music and feel like we hit the nail on the head in terms of who we asked to be a part of it as they absolutely crushed their parts and brought so much heart onto the record." This Ain’t Gonna End Well… is available digitally everywhere now via Outhouse Records. You can listen to the album and read the track-by-track breakdown below!
