The Menzingers are back with their new single “Better Angels” from their upcoming album, Everything I Ever Saw, which is set to arrive on July 17 via Epitaph Records.
Vocalist and guitarist Tom May says, “We tried to make ‘Better Angels’ the song version of those late-night conversations with an old friend, the kind where you sit around a kitchen table and solve all of the world’s problems. It feels like we’re being torn apart.”
May adds, “The country is run by monsters and money, and there are plenty of people who benefit from keeping us at each other’s throats. ’Better Angels’ is a message about what we’re doing, what responsibility we have to become better versions of ourselves, and that we’re not alone or powerless. It’s a push against the cynicism that’s so easy to embrace and a reminder that the world we want starts with how we treat ourselves and each other.”
The Menzingers have announced a headlining tour across North America today. Kicking off this fall, the group will be joined by Hot Water Music and Weakend Friends as support.
