Ben Quad has shared their new single, “Very Big In Sheboygan,” the third track from their upcoming full-length Wisher, due out November 14 via Pure Noise Records. The song arrives with a self-aware video that opens on the band riffing on blink-182 lyrics—“all the small things,” “true care, truth brings”—a fitting nod to the pop-punk lineage they’re evolving rather than imitating.

“Very Big In Sheboygan” tightens the sound introduced on their earlier singles while leaning further into hook-driven and more optimistic songwriting.
“This song is based on the period of my life when I would drive up 7 hours every couple weeks to make a long-distance relationship work with my partner. Despite the obstacles of living so far apart from each other, the happiness I felt seeing this person made the long drives worth it,” guitarist Edgar Viveros shares. “It feels good to put out a proper love song. We’re leaning into a poppier lane for sure on this one, but there’s also so much energy and deliberation that we put into the instrumentals, I think anyone, not just the lovebirds, will enjoy it.”
Ben Quad is currently on the road with Koyo before heading overseas with Arm’s Length at the start of 2026. Check out their full touring schedule below and grab tickets here.
