A few days ago I commented that there'd been some great pop punk releases already this year and how there were several more upcoming. A song

The latest of those albums, Stay Rad! dropped last week on Fat Wreck Chords and it's another winner. You can get it on vinyl in various colours here : https://fatwreck.com/collections/new-releases/products/stay-rad or digitally here :
There's more mature tracks about parenthood and how singer Ray misses his late brother Brandon as well as fun rockers like Night Of The Knuckleheads and I Want To Kill Clint Carlin. This is the only song on the album about a girl. It was written by bassist Miguel Chen about his wife Lily and it's called I Never Knew....
