Bad Cop Bad Cop are back!

That’s right, the So Cal-based powerhouse are slated to release a brand new full-length later this summer. Entitled Lighten Up, it’s due out on their new/old label home Fat Wreck Chords under their new partnership with Hopeless Records, and it marks the band’s first full-length since 2020’s The Ride. Here’s what the one-and-only Stacey Dee had to say about her band’s new record:

“This record really means the world to me.  It is the first time we got to do everything we wanted.  We trusted ourselves to make something we love with people we love and who love us back.  This record feels the most authentic and it’s awesome to listen to front to back.  These are our personal stories and we truly hope to inspire other folks to find the good stuff in life, even when life is hard.” – Stacey Dee

Pre-orders for Lighten Up are available through Fat/Hopeless or bandcamp or wherever you pre-order your music nowadays. You can also check out the video for lead single “All Together Now” below! Stay tuned for more on this one as release day approaches!
