Chicago’s melodic punk rock darlings Counterpunch have just announced details for their next album ‘Rewire,’ set for release on June 17 via Thousand Islands Records/SBÄM Records.
The band says, “‘Rewire’ tackles the double standard people of faith create by showing face in a place of worship once a week and then acting like a piece of human garbage elsewhere. They scream outrage over everything they don’t agree with as ‘against God’s way’ while ignoring the teachings of their faith. Every religion at its core is about loving your fellow man and reverence toward whatever ‘god’ you happen to believe in. Whether they choose to follow through on what they are taught, however, is another story.”
Counterpunch is a four-piece powerhouse that has been bringing their own catchy brand of melodic punk rock since 2004.
In 2019, the band stepped into Black in Bluhm studios in Denver to record their fourth LP just before COVID shut down the world. In light of facing a new normal, the band hit the pause button on releasing their latest full-length effort, deciding instead to put out a 7″ record with a few of the B-side tracks from the Black in Bluhm sessions titled ‘Handbook for the Recently Debriefed’. Teaming up with Thousand Island Records and SBÄM Records to bring the world a snapshot of the new era of the band.
Their newest LP will be released later in 2022 both from Thousand Islands Records and SBÄM once again. The album was produced by Chris Fogal and the band themselves.
