The The Menzingers have shared “Everything I Ever Saw,” the title track and final pre-release single off their eagerly awaited new album Everything I Ever Saw, which arrives this Friday, July 17th via Epitaph. The band will celebrate the arrival of the record with a sold-out release show on July 17th at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, and will also be hosting in-store performances and signings at Philadelphia’s Repo Records, Wilkes-Barre’s Gallery of Sound, and New York City’s Rough Trade throughout the weekend.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, the band’s guitarist and vocalist Greg Barnett elaborated on the title track, remarking, “The album’s about living in the present, especially during life’s big moments. As musicians in a touring band, we’re constantly looking towards the next thing. I felt like I had been living my life like that for a very long time. Then Everything I Ever Saw just clicked. It tied in with all the other songs about being here in the moment and being there for the people that need you.”
Barnett continued, “People have described us as a very nostalgic band. It’s funny because I never saw it that way; it was more so about looking at the past for the answers to the things that you’re trying to understand now. The chorus, ‘I don’t want to relive, I just want to remember everything I ever saw’ sums that bit up. I want to remember all of this and use it in the future to appreciate my life.”
Recorded with longtime collaborator and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Will Yip at his new Memory Music Studios in Philadelphia, Everything I Ever Saw captures the band at their most defining. It is an album forged in the wake of life-altering change, where marriage, divorce, loss, and growth collide with a renewed creative urgency. Twenty years into their career, the band returns to the raw, collaborative spirit that first made them essential.
This fall, The Menzingers will head out on a 2026 North American headline tour in support of the new record. The upcoming dates will feature special guests Hot Water Music and Weakened Friends, kicking off on September 24th at Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings Festival in Dallas, TX. The tour includes a special hometown show on November 24th at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, PA.
