Hopefully no one at Avis is reading this tour story, because Tired Radio got into a wee fender bender. Y'all know the secret to returning a rental right? Just be like, "I may have curbed it? Anyhow, GTG!" then run. Sprint, in fact. Works every time.

Y'all probably could use a nice BEACH READ, so here's Sam discussing "Hold You Hard" and the world around it. "For this, I went back to the Minutemen, I was listening to Descendents, and the entire Bad Religion discography. I was looking for that energy, that fizz, that pop.”

We have so much new music in 2025, and today is another rad one: "D.R.E.A.M. (Depression Ruins Everything Around Me)" from Tired Radio is available now from all the robots. Go listen, please. Wu-Tang is for the children, but TR is for the punks. New album out September 12th.

Paul from Jersey Beat had some good shit to say about the new @SamRussoMusic album. Have ya dabbled in it yet, amigo?

Nice review from Dave! "Wow. Sam Russo’s fourth full-length album, Hold You Hard, is nothing short of spectacular."

Grip it and ribbit. 🐸💞🐸 "Hold You Hard" is out now, and we still have a couple dozen copies left of the Beach-y Blue vinyl in mailorder. Snag a record and go see that wizard on tour before he polymorphs ya into a horny toad. ✨ Magic link here: https://t.co/9s8pcAx37e

"Hold You Hard" from @SamRussoMusic comes out this Friday and the spies at @ChorusFM have leaked a video for "The Muckleshoot Casino". GO CHECK IT.

Made a handful of Red Scare shirts for Canada. Neon yellow garb will keep you safe from motorists and hunters while you dwell with beavers. 👍

8/10 for a tour 7"?!? We'll take it Cheers to Ricky and PWV for listening. Pick up a 7" at the merch table next week: 8/12 - Ottawa 8/13 - Tillsonburg 8/14 - Guelph 8/15 - Toronto 8/16 - Montréal 8/17 - Québec City 8/18 - Jonquiere 8/19 - Sherbrooke 8/20 - Trois Rivières

5pm and it appears we've done another good job participating in Bandcamp Friday. We'll remember next month, promise! 🤞 https://t.co/DCpP9vlVlh

Spoiler alert: this list is going to fucking suck.

Are you a music reviewer and want a free record? (We're told rock journalism is boomin' right now...) We'll send you a sweet promo of this beautiful tour 7" IF you got the stones to write a review for a website. HMU to get a copy, and GET TO A GIG! 👇 https://t.co/izYpxSu4sX

Any review that starts with, "We need more punk music in this world" is cool by us. Read @PayTheTab's thoughts on our tour 7" then come party with us in Canada... 🦫 🇨🇦

Oi oi, we've added @Flatfoot56 to @TheMethadones gig on Saturday, August 30th. Can't call it a record release PARTY until you get the Southside punks to the show! ☘️🍻 Tix are at @RiotFest.org, so come meet us at @CobraLounge and snag a copy of this limited release on red wax!

All music headlines should include, "Aren't You So Excited?!!!!!" Especially if it's about @SamRussoMusic's new LP. Read about it from @PunkWorldViews 👇 https://t.co/K1AQd4HDeS

We made a rad 7" for the Canada tour, but then we thought it would be a dick move to withhold FOUR NEW SONGS from the rest of the world. We're egalitarians, after all, are we not?! The new EP is available NOW, so give it a listen and GET TO A GIG. 👇 https://t.co/hUKDjzIB6b

This is true. We're making the #RedScareAcrossCanada tour 7" available digitally. Tomorrow!

In case ya missed last week's bitchin' announcement + new video...
