We’re so pleased to announce that our seventh album, “Some Of It Was True”, Written over the last two and a half years in hotels, backstages, basements, and rehearsal rooms and recorded during a life-changing retreat down south, “Some Of It Was True” is the most realized version of what we set out to do when we started this band 17 years ago—have fun and be ourselves.
“Some Of It Was True” is a collection of 13 songs centered around the prospect of hope and all the uncertainties that accompany it. Some songs are acts of love and joy, while others are in a neverending search for it. Together, they’re stories written from experiences of our own and from those we met along the way. The follow-up to 2019’s sensational “Hello Exile” accomplishes the daunting task of capturing The Menzingers’ distinctive live energy in the confines of the studio, resulting in a sound that’s both rich, raw, and complementary to the group’s increasingly prismatic song writing approach. More than 15 years in, The Menzingers are still holding their listeners square in the immediate present, and “Some Of It Was True” documents that power in thrilling fashion. The passage of time and how things change are, of course, topics that are always on peoples’ minds — but when it comes to “Some Of It Was True”, The Menzingers are kickstarting a new era in their already illustrious career by tapping into the energy that brought the band to life in the very beginning.
We can’t thank Bradley Cook enough for producing this album. Brad helped us cut through the noise to create something really true to heart, and his outlook on life and creativity will stay with us forever. We also owe a massive thanks to our friend Jon Low for lending his talents to the band once again by mixing the album. We absolutely couldn’t have done it without either of you.
Our third single, “Come on Heartache”, is out now! This one felt extra special from the get go, it’s one of our favourites off the album and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Very excited to share our new single, “There’s No Place In This World For Me” from our upcoming album that… well we can’t go into details just yet but trust us, it’s coming soon! This song is an anthem for anyone stuck between where they are and where they want to be. Recorded at Sonic Ranch in April 2023, produced by Brad Cook, mixed by Jon Low,.
“This record just feels different for us,” Barnett explains. “It’s a really important one in our catalogue, and a pivotal moment in our history. We have the liberty of our fans growing with us now, and after writing these lyrical songs about where we are in life, we decided to take other peoples’ stories and make something bigger out of it.”

The Philadelphia punk legends’ multi-decade reputation as road warriors with an unbeatable catalogue is cemented as hard truth— and their seventh album, “Some Of It Was True”, stands as their most immediate-sounding and energetic record to date.
