Theyve toured the world countless times. They kept the leather jacket and Converse look alive through an increasingly neon landscape. Theyve written songs about KISS, Top Gun and
Minecraft. Hell, theyve even been on CNN a few times! Please welcome back to the spotlight Wyomings own Teenage Bottlerocket, whose ninth album, the 12-track 'Sick Sesh!', with traffic cone orange cover art and all, will be released 08/27/2021 on Fat Wreck Chords. This record is 12 songs because 14 was too long, cracks vocalist and guitarist Ray Carlisle. We wanna keep the energy up.
Recorded in November 2020 at the Blasting Room (the bands eighth straight full length with producer Andrew Berlin), 'Sick Sesh!' is a little bit rougher around the edges than the last few TBR albums, from the haunting Statistic to the panic-inducing Strung Out on Stress to the buzzsaw lead of Semi Truck. According to Carlisle, that was on purpose. We spent a lot of time on guitar tones this time around that was important for us, he says. We made sure to bring the noisy, loud, irritate your fuckin mom guitar back. Theres a ton of intentional guitar noise and feedback. We dug up the amps we used for 'Freak Out!' and 'They Came From The Shadows'. This is punk rock, after all. 'Stay Rad!' is a great record, but its very radio friendly. I wanted to do the opposite of that: Lets get fuckin noisy.
With more than 100 original songs already in their catalog, how does the band stay motivated when theyre eight records deep? Were always in competition with ourselves, Carlisle explains. The real competition is between me and Kody. Its like, You wrote a song that destroys everything else on this record. Let me try to do that to you real quick. Hows that feel?' And then he comes back and one-ups me."
With 'Sick Sesh!' ready to drop, Teenage Bottlerocket will return to the road once more throughout 2021 and beyond, and you can expect to hear plenty of new tracks peppered into their already high-energy sets. Given that the band is already two decades old, however, is there any chance of the band slowing down? Carlisle shoots that idea down right away. I want to have the best next 10 years, the singer says. Weve grinded the grind. Now we get to actually enjoy being a band, and not think too much about different ways to try and make it. Were riding this wave we built ourselves. I wanna surf it for another 10 years.
