Today, we are extremely excited to bring you the premiere of two new tracks by Welland punk rockers Dealbreaker! The songs are called “Plan D” and “Weigh In” and are off their upcoming full-length album. Speaking about the songs, the band said, ”When asked to opine for our courageous listeners what a Dealbreaker rock ringtone means to them, we can only plain and simply refuse — as the anthems of our future offspring's ancestors are meant to unlock messages most meaningful to each independent individual's intimate and unique experience. It is of utmost, paramount, and fabulous importance that these tales told by tired tongues are allowed time to first fester so that the true emotions felt by our followers may flourish unencumbered by our personal persuasion or suggestive supposition. However, when forced — through a kind smile and a polite request — to lay bare what these particular stories mean to us, we might come up with something such as this: “PLAN D” — the younger, more charming, and altogether superior successor to the retired Dealbreaker 2025 hit single “PLAN C” — much like its sibling, is a self-aware self-reflection and self-critique on self-deprecation. Another attempt at making sense of that which oft seems not to. A slide into uncertainty with a smile and a hook. “WEIGH IN” hits proverbial nails more directly on their proverbial heads, as it demands from those that listen the confidence to courageously call for what is best (and what is most right) in this world that can’t help but cast shadows on those already shrouded in suffocating shade. A cathartic call to action, a damning dare to the fearful fence-sitters. Be partners to powers that pull people upward, or be a pitiful part of the problem.”“Plan D” and “Weigh In” will be out everywhere on February 19. New Sides will be out on April 3 via Toll Free Records and Late Again Records. You can pre-order the album right here. The album was produced by M.C. Cunningham, engineered and mixed by Vince Soliveri at Boxcar Sound Recording, and mastered by Dan Weston. Dealbreaker will be touring the UK with Pro Wrestling The Band in May. Listen to “Plan D” and “Weigh In” below!

<p>To quote the great American punk rock poet Jello Biafra, “Rick Wakeman, eat your heart out.” Los Angeles rock and roll firecracker Kit Major is here with a quick jolt of lightning to the sonic senses with “Not As Witty As I Used To Be,” a bratty and confrontational new ripper that sets up her forthcoming EP Miss Ego, dropping June 12 on Futureless Records. A high-energy garage punk romp that’s more a warning than a confession, it clocks in […]</p>
