Fusing pop punk, 1950's aesthetic, and American coastal living, German band The Sewer Rats have released a music video for their new single "Too Punk For You." The video was directed by Michael Winkler at Iconographic and premiered with Punknews.org.

"This is our second time working with Michael, he also did our 'I Don't Like You (When Your Girl's Around)' video," says vocalist/guitarist Chris Gin. "He is such a passionate and cool guy and working together just felt really good and natural because he totally knew what we wanted. He knows where we're coming from and has the same type of 90's skateboard/punk rock background so the result just completely blew our minds. We had so much fun doing this video since getting into a band fight in a pool has always been on our wishlist. Also, the guy in the video is his dad and his name is Horsti. They both went to Florida to shoot and Horsti even got his first ink in the video. Horsti is so rad. We're stoked on Horsti!"

"Too Punk For You" comes from the band's stylish, 1950's soaked new album "Heartbreaks and Milkshakes" and follows up the single/video "I Don't Like You (When Your Girl's Around)." The trio walks a line between Stray Cats-cool, early 90s Social D, and old-school pop punk. They describe themselves as "Mike Ness and Brian Setzer hanging out with Hank Williams, listening to the Ramones while skateboarding and drinkin’ beers on a hot summer night," a description that doesn't disappoint. Delivering slicked-back juvenile sing-a-longs about lost love and moving back in with your parents (again), The Sewer Rats are ready to skate their way into your heart.

"Too Punk For You" and the new album "Heartbreaks and Milkshakes", are available now on Rookie Records via Spotify and iTunes.

"Although I used to sing these tunes with many a punk on the way home from any gig drunk back in the day, man did we have the words wrong. I had to re-learn em proper now and what a way to put the new guy's on trial." - Duane Peters (U.S. Bombs)



It’s no secret that The Clash were a huge influence on the US Bombs and Joe Strummer’s death in 2002 left a permanent void in the hearts Clash and Bombs fans alike. With two ripping renditions of Clash standards “Straight To Hell” and “Death Or Glory,” the Bombs pay tribute to one of the bands that started it all. The EP will be released on 7” white vinyl, cassette, digital, and coincides with the release of the bands other EP, Hollywood Gong Show, that will be available on 7" blue vinyl, cassette, digital.

The new EPs were produced by Cris Kirkwood, executive produced by Tom Lopez, engineered by Jeremy Parker (Premier Studios in Phoenix, AZ) and mastered by Jason Livermore (The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO).

U.S. Bombs will kick off 2018 with a full U.S. tour celebrating their revered career and new EPs that will take place in January/February. Dates are listed below.
