Teenage Bottlerocket - The Invisible Man [7"] (Colored Vinyl)

Pop-punk veterans Teenage Bottlerocket are kicking off 2026 with the release of their new 4-song EP The Invisible Man, available on 7" vinyl from Pirates Press Records. These four songs were recorded during the sessions for the band's smash hit 2025 album Ready To Roll at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO, recorded & mixed by Andrew Berlin and mastered by Jason Livermore. Additionally, each of the band's three singer/songwriters are represented among the tracks. Bassist Miguel Chen wrote the title track, and taps into some of the mid-tempo new wave influence seen on the LP, while using cinematic imagery to express his own need to disappear from the chaos of the modern world. "Despite spending my life surrounded by people I love - my family, my band, my friends - I've learned that I need a lot of alone time to stay balanced and happy," he says. "Time alone is great for your well-being. I highly recommend it. Also, I love old horror movies." Guitarist Ray Carlisle contributes a track inspired by a real life tale from his offspring. "My kid wore a Less Than Jake shirt to school and some substitute teacher asked him to name a song," he explains. "My kid came home all bummed out and said 'You Made Me Get Called A Poser."' Carlisle also wrote EP closer "City At Night," which was previously available on an ultra-limited 7" included with the Deluxe Edition of Ready To Roll, and was later released as a digital single. For most fans, this will be the first chance to own a physical copy of this much sought-after song. Finally, guitarist Kody Templeman contributes "Pembry's Face," another song inspired by the band's penchant for horror fiction. "I've always been a big fan of the Hannibal Lecter movies based on the Thomas Harris novels. Ray and I always quoted the Jim Pembry line during the escape scene [in The Silence of the Lambs]." These prolific pop-punkers demonstrate that even while touring non-stop in support of a hit album, they are always looking out for their legions of worldwide fans' insatiable appetite for new material! The EP features spectacular art by the band's longtime collaborator Oscar Puig. TRACK LIST: SIDE A 01. The Invisible Man 02.
