Much like most new songs since 2020, Covid has had heavy influence on the latest by pop-punk band Nerf Herder.

This time, it's blunt, as the band releases a new single via Fat Wreck Chords, "We All Got Covid (Except for Linus)".

Via a press release, the band says:
“This is a song where we recorded the music a few years ago before the pandemic and has been sitting around waiting for lyrics,” reveals chief Herder Gripp. “And then COVID happened and we got COVID. And I'm like, 'Boom! Let me just make this song really fast.’ I recorded the vocals while I had COVID. Within three days after [recording] the thing, we were just going to release it. And then we thought, 'Let's release it through FAT.'"

Fat Wreck is also set to reissue American Cheese, the band's third album, which first came out in 2002 (Honest Don's). The reissue will be on vinyl and digital platforms and includes additional digital bonus tracks.

Live dates:

10 Jun 2022 in Chicago, IL, US @ Reggie's Rock Club
11 Jun 2022 in Cudahy, WI, US @ X-Ray Arcade
