Samiam, the punk legends from Oakland, California, are preparing for the release of their first new album in 12 years titled ‘Stowaway,’ scheduled for release on March 31st via Pure Noise Records. ‘Stowaway’ continues the band’s legacy, showcasing why they remain one of the most beloved and longstanding punk bands of their time. Their latest single, ‘Something,’ offers a glimpse into the album’s energy, melody, and emotional depth, and follows previous singles ‘Monterey Canyon,’ ‘Crystallized,’ and ‘Lights Out, Little Hustler.’
Guitarist Sean Kennerly discussed the lyrics of ‘Something’ saying: “The light perkiness of the music is belied by the heavy subject matter – searching for meaning and reason inside of everyday actions. It’s about faking it just to get through yet another ridiculous interaction you don’t feel like you belong in. The Buzzcocks-style hammering chords underpin Jason soaring vocals as he searches for an elusive feeling of relevance and purpose inside the everyday.”
