Maryland alternative-rock mainstays Ballyhoo! will release their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Bad Summer , this Friday, August 28 , via Right Coast Records .
To celebrate release week, the band is premiering the official video for the album’s title track, “Bad Summer.” Directed and edited by Andrew “Gingy” Hall , the video finds Ballyhoo! fully embracing their hair-metal alter egos in a gloriously over-the-top tribute to big riffs, bigger hair and the unapologetic fun at the heart of the song.
“We’ve never leaned harder into a treatment,” says frontman Howi Spangler . “Andrew ‘Gingy’ Hall and his team crushed it. If you love joy, fun and feel-good rock ’n’ roll, you’re gonna love this.”
Produced by John Feldmann ( Blink-182, Avril Lavigne, Goldfinger ), Bad Summer pushes Ballyhoo! toward one of the biggest and boldest productions of their career while preserving the personality, chemistry and honest songwriting that have defined the band for more than two decades.
The album includes the previously released singles “Bad Summer,” “Cali Girl II,” “I Guess I’ll Go Fuck Myself,” “Thunderstorms” and “Slowly Dying.” Together, the tracks showcase a record that moves between beach-ready pop-punk, alternative rock and massive sing-along hooks.
For Ballyhoo!, working with Feldmann marked a full-circle collaboration with a producer and songwriter whose work has long influenced the band.
“Ballyhoo! were a joy to work with!” says Feldmann. “ They are all such incredible musicians and super open-minded, and we made an awesome album! I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. So stoked to be included in this musical masterpiece.”
“We knew we wanted the next thing we did to be special, and I’ve always wanted to make a record with Feldy,” adds Spangler. “We put ourselves out there and took a big swing to make that happen. The record turned out even better than I thought it would. We’re so very proud of Bad Summer, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
The album arrives on the heels of Ballyhoo!’s first European tour, which included appearances at BrakRock in Belgium and Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia, along with club dates throughout the continent.
The band returns to the road this week with an August 29 hometown-area performance at Cult Classic Outdoors in Stevensville, Maryland. Additional North American dates follow this fall, including shows with Bowling for Soup . Ballyhoo! will also join the 311 Caribbean Cruise in March 2027.
Nearly 25 years into their career, Ballyhoo! remain one of alternative music’s most enduring independent success stories, building a fiercely loyal audience through relentless touring, undeniable live energy and songs made to be shouted back from the crowd. With Bad Summer , the band turns the page on another chapter without losing the spirit that brought them this far.
Bad Summer arrives August 28 via Right Coast Records .

Brazilian rock ’n’ roll band Banda AL9 are bringing their high-energy sound to the United States this November, arriving on the heels of a breakout year that has seen the group reach an international audience and earn the support of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most influential champions, Little Steven Van Zandt .
The band will be joined throughout the 12-date run by Buffalo’s The Burkharts , whose harmony-packed, sun-soaked sound channels the best of ’60s pop, surf and rock ’n’ roll. Two young bands from different corners of the world, Banda AL9 and The Burkharts are connected by a shared love for big melodies, guitars, vocal harmonies and classic rock ’n’ roll.
The tour begins November 1 at The Middle East in Boston and includes stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and more before wrapping November 15 at Buffalo Iron Works.
Banda AL9’s latest album, Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 , was released in July 2026 through Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records , marking a major new chapter for the group. The album brings together newly remixed and remastered versions of some of AL9’s most popular songs alongside new material, including “She Can Do It All,” written by Kurt Baker and Wyatt Funderburk , and “Indigo Skye,” a song written especially for the band by Little Steven.
The relationship with Little Steven and Wicked Cool Records has helped introduce Banda AL9 to a much wider audience, connecting the young Brazilian group with listeners throughout the United States and around the world through the label and Little Steven’s Underground Garage .
Their music has also caught the attention of another legendary rock ’n’ roll tastemaker: Elton John , who featured the band’s version of The Rubinoos’ “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” on his radio show.
But Banda AL9’s story began long before their arrival on Wicked Cool Records.
Formed in Brazil and led by brothers Matheus Khouri and Thiago Khouri , the band built its following from the ground up, developing a catalog of original songs and a reputation as an exciting live act while steadily expanding its audience beyond its home country.
Acoustic performances and original songs shared on TikTok helped bring that music to listeners around the world, with the band’s videos generating more than 12 million views. Songs including “Chama de Amor” and “She Calls Me Love” became viral favorites, and the group’s growing momentum eventually led to a collaboration with Steve Aoki .
Their combination of youthful energy, memorable songs and an unmistakable enthusiasm for rock ’n’ roll ultimately caught the attention of an international network of artists, producers and music industry veterans.
That same spirit runs throughout Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 .
Rock at Night called the record “the ultimate power-pop summer soundtrack,” while CD HotList praised its “tight harmonies, chiming 12-string guitar arpeggios, handclaps on the backbeat, and hooks hooks hooks,” declaring it “the best driving-with-the-roof-down album I’ve heard in five years.”
Jersey Beat described Banda AL9’s music as “fun, good-time music” that channels the early Beatles and Beach Boys, while Faster & Louder wrote, “The joy that they exude is genuine and infectious. Trends in music come and go, but melody, harmonies, and catchy choruses are eternal. World, meet Banda AL9.”
Poprock Record hailed the group as a “Brazilian Beatlesque sensation” and said its breezy hooks “will have you double hand-clapping along.”
Now, with Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 serving as their international calling card, the band is ready for its biggest American adventure yet.
The November tour will bring the songs from the album directly to American audiences and represents another major step forward for a Brazilian band whose story has quickly grown from local beginnings to an internationally recognized label, airplay and support from legendary artists, and an expanding fanbase thousands of miles from home.
With Little Steven and Wicked Cool Records in their corner, a new album out in the world and their sights firmly set on what comes next, Banda AL9 are ready to make some noise in America.
Hey! Hey! We’re Banda AL9 — see you in November. Tickets on sale starting Friday, August 21st, at www.BandaAL9.com .

"It’s a giant celebration, comforting hug, and one hell of a party all rolled into one. Musically, the album is tight and overflowing with love and positivity. I don’t know if I’m ready to crown it the best Big D album in their discography yet, but it’s pretty damn close."- Bearded Gentlemen Music

Produced by Joe Gittleman of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Matt Appleton of Reel Big Fish, The Good Ole American Saturday Night finds the longtime ska-punk innovators firing on all cylinders more than 30 years into their career.
The album moves seamlessly between high-energy ska-punk anthems, laid-back reggae grooves, heartfelt songwriting, and massive singalong choruses. Drawing inspiration from every chapter of the band’s catalog—from the punk urgency of Good Luck to the reggae influence of Strictly Rude —the record celebrates individuality, creativity, community, and finding joy during challenging times.
Led by the singles “Whiplash,” “Right Now,” and “Scatterbrain,” The Good Ole American Saturday Night has earned an enthusiastic reception from fans and critics alike.

— The Whole Kameese
“They’re one of the stalwarts of the ska-punk genre, and this latest album ain’t gonna tarnish that hard-earned reputation.”
— Jersey Beat

BOBBY MAHONEY RELEASES NEW SINGLE “SMOKE AND DRIVE”
Backed with Social Distortion Cover “Machine Gun Blues”
FFO: The Gaslight Anthem, The Menzingers , The Bouncing Souls, Jesse Malin
Stream The Single Here
ASBURY PARK, NJ — Bobby Mahoney returns with a new single, “Smoke and Drive,” paired with a cover of Social Distortion’s “Machine Gun Blues.” The release finds the Asbury Park songwriter and his band channeling nostalgia, grit, and heart through a rock-and-roll lens that’s both timeless and unmistakably Jersey.
“‘Smoke and Drive’ was the title of a demo recording that [producer/songwriter] Matty Carlock sent me last year,” says Mahoney. “It was drums and guitars, and he had me write a melody and lyrics to the track. The song just screamed nostalgia to me — driving around with friends in high school or college on highways and single-lane back roads. We had a great time ironing the song and production out with Matty and with Geoff Sanoff in NYC. Mark Masefield (Dave Hause, Will Hoge, Outside The Box) plays keys on the track and adds a beautiful dimension. We hope it reminds you of that time when…”
On the B-side, Mahoney and his band tackle Social Distortion’s “Machine Gun Blues,” a fan-favorite live cover that finally found its way int
