HORACE PINKER

RELEASE NEW ALBUM

NOW AND THE FUTURE

Out Now on People of Punk Rock Records

CHICAGO, IL — Long-running punk outfit Horace Pinker has wrapped up a string of shows culminating in a fiery appearance at FEST 23. Their new album, Now and the Future, marks the band’s first full-length since 2011’s Local State Inertia and is out now via Canadian imprint People of Punk Rock Records. The LP captures a veteran group still charging forward—full of sharp melodies, punchy rhythms, and the relentless energy that’s fueled their global following for more than three decades.

“Horace Pinker returns with Now and the Future, our first full-length since 2011,” the band shares. “Driven by punchy rhythms, sharp melodies, and our signature energy, the record reflects how we continue to evolve while staying true to our punk roots.”

Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie) handling engineering and production, the album showcases Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), and Greg Mytych (bass/vocals) balancing grit and melody with incisive, heartfelt lyrics.

Highlights include singles “Three Against Me” and “Call It a Day,” the latter distilling the band’s melodic punk and hardcore influences into two-and-a-half minutes of pure sonic adrenaline. With cover art by JP Flexner (Beach Slang), Now and the Future stands as a confident, uncompromising statement from a band that’s never followed trends.

Formed in Tempe, AZ and now based in Chicago, Horace Pinker has shared stages with NOFX, Green Day, Fugazi, Bad Religion, Jawbreaker, Agent Orange, Jimmy Eat World, The Offspring, All Systems Go, and Blink-182, while touring across Europe, Asia, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. They’ve performed in more than 20 countries, appearing at major festivals including Groezrock (Belgium), Pouzza Fest (Montreal), and The Fest (Gainesville).

With a discography spanning eight full-lengths, numerous EPs, and compilations—including a 7-inch on Fat Wreck Chords and a split with Face to Face—Horace Pinker remains one of punk’s most enduring names. The A.V. Club once praised their “magic mix of intersecting guitars, a forceful rhythm section, and vocals that knew when to sing and when to shout.” Now and the Future proudly carries that legacy forward.
