At the end of this week, the Chicago band Stuck are releasing a new album, Freak Frequency. We’ve heard “The Punisher” and “Time Out” from it already, and today they’re sharing its sparking, tense title track, which bandleader Greg Obis describes as “the thesis for the record,” continuing: “It’s about the inverse relationship between the slow motion collapse of US Empire (good) and the constant escalation of paranoia, anxiety, and violence for those that live within it (bad).” Check it out below.

Last month, the Chicago band Stuck announced their sophomore album, Freak Frequency, with “The Punisher.” Today, they’re back with another song from the album, the paranoid and gnarly “Time Out,” which comes with a frantic music video filled with smiley face balls that was directed by Jess Bass and Seamus Carey.
Stuck, the Chicago post-punk group that rose out of the ashes of Yeesh and Clearance, are back with news of their sophomore album, Freak Frequency, the follow-up to 2021’s Content That Makes You Feel Good EP. Lead single “The Punisher” is everything you might expect from a band like this: nervy, tangled, squalling, and also very good. “They’ve got good news, it’s so sick living in a fanfic,” goes the hook. “They’ve got good news, there’s new life springing from a death cult.”
