Our thanks to American Thrills for sponsoring All Punked Up this week!
Connecticut punk rockers American Thrills have released a brand new single called “100 Years”. The track is a B-Side off the band’s most recent EP Old Things which was released on New School Records/Cat’s Claw Records earlier this year. The record was made with the help of Chris Teti (The World is a Beaitiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die) and features vocals from Andy Jackson of Hot Rod Circuit. The track is about the realization that it can sometimes take loss to figure out you’ve thrown around some words or fists that you shouldn’t have.
