Cleveland, OH pop-punk band Whatever..., who disbanded in 1997, has shared a new song and the band's first new music in 27 years. It's not the only new work from the group either, as they have a 2-song 7" called Our Decline coming out on Siren Records. The band also plays at T1 Fest in Chicago, IL this weekend. The lineup features original members Ben Wrecked (vocals, guitar), Matt Fish (drums), plus returning second guitarist Brett Moore (Sidecar, Night Sweats, Dead In London), and new bassist Peter Woodward (Sidecar, the Unknown, Restless Habs).

Active from 1991-1997, the band released material on Dead Beat Records, Runt Records, and Dr. Strange Records, touring with the likes of The Bollweevils, Zoinks!, The Gain, and The Feds.

A new album is planned for 2025, with some live dates currently on the books.

Hear the new song at Punk Rock Theory.
