<p>As we draw closer to Election Day, tensions are rising higher with every campaign ad, debate, and giant flag flying freely from the back of a rusted out pick-up.

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Jukebox Romantics! The video is for their song “Packing Up My Knives” which appears in the short horror film, Meat Lovers which was directed and written by Allen Martindale. Speaking to Punknews about the song, lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Terry said, “You know the music industry, and specifically the punk scene is very small, and over the years you get to meet some pretty rad people. These people start out as fans, then friends, and now collaborators. In Summer 2023 we were approached by Allen Martindale, who is the director and writer of Meat Lovers, the short film our new song is in. We know Allen originally through his partner Jess, whom we met being interviewed on our very first day of Warped Tour in 2010 in Salt Lake City. We kept in touch over the years and around 2017 Jess and her partner Allen had a great podcast called Talk Music To Me. Jukebox was a guest on the show and that’s where we discovered our shared love for horror movies. Fast forward to 2023 and Allen has a horror comedy film (Jess is also a producer on it) and he wants us to write an original song for it. This is definitely a different way to approach songwriting for a band like us. We were up for the challenge. I was given the script and told to 'make it sound like The Jukebox Romantics were hanging out with The Misfits and Alkaline Trio'. So I wrote the intro and chorus riff at home. AJ came up with verse riffs, guitar hook, and James and I wrote these badass lyrics in his dining room on a Friday morning. We laid it down at a couple studios and finished it at Nada Recording and we have sat on it for almost a year waiting for the movie to be shot, edited, and sent to festivals. For a year we had the song titled ‘HORROR MOVIE SONG’ (fucken real original) while we waited for the movie to wrap. It now has a name ‘Packing Up My Knives’. On August 1st, 2024 Meat Lovers was officially done and being sent to festivals which meant it was time for the Jukebox boys to shoot a video. We wanted it to be in a basement setting to fit the movie but also have some themes from the film in the music video. There’s lots of pizza and creepy sweaty goodness along with B-roll and scenes from the movie. It’s funny, this is our 2nd horror-themed music video, but we aren’t a horror band. I guess our lyrics are pretty fucked though. I think we just love the genre. The process was a lot of fun, and even though we had to wait a while to release it to coincide with the movie, we are beyond stoked. It’s probably all of our favorite song the 4 of us have written together and one of the best Jukebox Romantics songs ever. Boom.” “Packing Up My Knives” will hit streaming services on September 27. Watch the video below!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new song by Austin, Texas-based punk band The Dumpies. The video is for their song “00:00” which pays tribute to Pete and Pete and was directed by Brett Roberts. Speaking to Punknews about the video the band said, ”The video for our new song ’00:00’ is an homage to the greatest television show of the 90’s. We could wax poetic from here to the Hoover dam, but we’d still never say it better than the Petes already have: ‘Why is it that when you miss somebody so much that your heart is ready to disintegrate, you always hear the saddest song ever on the radio?’ or ‘Hey, Blowhole, wherever you are, in forty-five minutes I'm going to be famous. And you know what you're going to be? A blowhole!’’””00:00” is off their upcoming album Gay Boredom which will be out on October 18 via Dirt Cult Records. The Dumpies will be touring Indonesia starting in October. Watch the video below!
