TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET

TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET takes place on 23 November 2026. Venue: The Underworld, London.

Teenage Bottlerocket have always been about the essentials: fast songs, fun shows, and friends who feel more like family. With their new album Ready to Roll, dropping this September on Pirates Press Records, they’re leaning harder than ever into the punk rock values that started it all—no gimmicks, no agenda, just straight-up energy, melody, and mayhem. Written with zero pressure and maximum heart, Ready to Roll is a celebration of everything that’s kept TBR going for over two decades. “We just wanted to write songs that felt good to play,” the band explains. “No overthinking, no distractions—just punk rock the way it’s always felt right to us.” That spirit courses through every second of the album, recorded at The Blasting Room (Descendents, Rise Against) with longtime friend and producer Andrew Berlin, and mastered by Jason Livermore. It’s got the urgency and hooks you’ve come to expect from Teenage Bottlerocket, along with a few curveballs that remind you they’re not done surprising you yet. The album also marks the beginning of a new chapter, partnering with Pirates Press Records—a label known for quality, creativity, and serious vinyl cred. “Pirates Press has pressed records for half the punk scene,” says the band. “To have them behind Ready to Roll means we get to go wild with the physical release. They understand what makes a great punk record—from the music to the packaging—and that’s a perfect fit for us as collectors and fans.” Even with this fresh partnership, TBR isn’t turning the page on their past. “We’ve had an incredible run with Fat Wreck Chords and nothing but love for them,” they say. “We’re proud of everything we’ve built together, and we’re stoked to be doing this new release with their full support.” The first single, “She’s the Shit,” is already making waves—a fast, cheeky love song inspired by frontman Ray Carlisle’s wife, Rachel. “She gives me shit all the time, and I love her for it,” he laughs. “It’s about blasting tunes in the car, teasing each other, and being totally yourself with someone who gets it.” It’s the kind of song that makes you crank the volume, grin like an idiot, and remember why punk rock rules. With Ready to Roll, Teenage Bottlerocket aren’t chasing trends or reinventing the wheel—they’re doubling down on what they do best. It’s fast. It’s loud. It’s catchy. It’s brown and gold (if you know, you know). And most of all, it’s a reminder that punk is still very much alive, especially when it’s played by a band that never forgot why they started. Pre-orders, vinyl variants, and new tour dates are all on the way. Let’s shred. This is a 14+ event. 14 and 15 year olds MUST be accompanied by an adult (18+) / All ticketholders under the age of 25 will be required to carry PHOTO ID.
