PAWS has set a release date of October 27 for their upcoming self-titled album, which will release via Ernest Jenning Record Co. Along with the new album, of course, we get new music now: the band shared a video for "One Nation Under Dog" this week, embedded below. To keep the news flowing, they also have an active tour schedule in the works, co-headlining in the UK with Worriers, and headlining shows as well.

Phillip Jon Taylor of the band adds:

"One Nation Under Dog" is rooted in my fears for the future and feeling helpless; climate change, how we all interact with each other socially whilst tech advancement and social expectation in that world ramps up and on.  The title isn’t some big statement or anything. We just like the play on words for such a big statement.

The main riff for this song sat for ages in a “paws?” marked folder for when Josh and I could get together. Some things I write feel like they can only be a PAWS tune so it’s cool when it pans out and I like the track.  It definitely feels like a staple PAWS song. It could be off any of the previous records and fit in...I like that.

Worriers

Trust Your Gut
Ernest Jenning (2023)

Worriers, fronted by Lauren Denitzio, is an ongoing evolution.

The music is consistently emotional and relatable while being clearly rooted in personal experience. The magic of the entire Worriers catalog is how Denitzio manages to be … Read more

You or Someone You Know
6131 (2020)

If it weren’t for playing in a certain scene, Worriers would likely be branded as a pop band instead of punk. The band is DIY all the way, with a growing discography, plus a back catalogue of previous bands dating into the early 2000s. As the project has grown since debut Cruel Optimist, it’s shifted more and more pop in … Read more

Survival Pop
Side One Dummy (2017)

It seems like Worriers nailed down their sound on day one, when they rose from the ashes of The Measure S.A.. The Lauren Denitzio-fronted group plays a melodic and quirky style of indie-poppish-punk. On Survival Pop, that sound takes a stronger pop turn, with ear-pleasing hooks paired to politically-charged and empowering lyricism. In many ways, this record is a call … Read more
