The Menzingers have officially announced the details of their highly anticipated new album, Everything I Ever Saw, scheduled for release on July 17th via Epitaph. To celebrate the announcement, the band has unveiled the album’s lead track, “Chance Encounters,” which is now available across all major streaming platforms. The song arrives alongside an official music video directed by Britain Weyant and the band members themselves.
Reflecting on the creative process behind the new record, vocalist and guitarist Tom May noted the profound impact the experience had on the band’s dynamic. “So much changed in our lives and in the world while we were making this record, and somehow, it all pulled us deeper into the band and deeper into our friendship,” May shared. “Twenty years in and this is the most connected we’ve felt to what we’re doing. There’s a kind of hard-won hope you can only find on the other side of real change.”
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 a defining moment in their career. The album navigates themes of marriage, divorce, loss, and personal growth, channeling a renewed creative urgency that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
The band is set to support the new music with a series of international festival appearances, including stops at Slam Dunk Festival in the UK and various dates across the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic. The Menzingers, consisting of Greg Barnett, Tom May, Eric Keen, and Joe Godino, continue to solidify their legacy as one of the most vital voices in modern punk.
