Pop-punk newcomers, FRND CRCL are back with another hot single from their upcoming full-length album, Suburban Dictionary out June 30th. “Fuck California” is a summer anthem that drags the west coast as the lesser of the two, while bathed in distorted guitars and sing-along vocals. This track comes as the sixth single from the new album, following “47“, “Golden“, “ADHD“, “No Chill“, and “Clinically Insane“. Speaking on their new pop-punk banger, the band shared: “Fuck California” is a cool song that should be checked out specifically because it’s about the East Coast being better than California.

In an array of slow-burn ballads and unabashed honesty, Slouch reads more like Giuliana Mormile’s personal diary where they’re free to be who they want to be and articulate their most intimate moments. Opening with the kaleidoscope-esque track, “Closure” before blooming into the album’s third track “Boyfriend,” Slouch is an amalgamation of highs and lows that represent Mormile’s intimate journey as an artist.
