**Chicago, IL —** Long-running punk outfit **Horace Pinker** returns this Friday,
September 12, with _Now and the Future_, the band’s first full-length album since
2011’s _Local State Inertia_ and the follow-up to their 2022 EP _House of Cards_.
Released via Canadian imprint **People of Punk Rock Records**, the album captures
a veteran band still charging forward—delivering sharp melodies, punchy rhythms,
and the undeniable energy that has fueled their global following for more than three
decades.

“_Horace Pinker returns with Now and the Future, our first full-length since 2011,_”
the band shares. “_Driven by punchy rhythms, sharp melodies, and our signature energy,
the record reflects how we continue to evolve while staying true to our punk roots._”

Recorded at **Bombshelter Recording Studio** in Chicago with **Dan Precision** (
Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie) handling engineering and production, the album finds
the band—**Scott Eastman** (guitar/vocals), **Bryan Jones** (drums), and **Greg 
Mytych** (bass/vocals)—delivering a set of songs that balance grit and melody with
thoughtful, incisive lyrics.

The record features singles like “**Three Against Me**” and “**Call It a Day**,”
the latter a two-and-a-half-minute blast that “_refines melodic punk and hardcore
influences into a two-and-half minute blast of sonic energy,_” according to the 
band. With cover art designed by **JP Flexner** (Beach Slang), _Now and the Future_
arrives as a confident and uncompromising statement from a band that has always 
thrived on defying trends.

Formed in Tempe, AZ and now based in Chicago, Horace Pinker has shared the stage
with **NOFX, Green Day, Fugazi, Bad Religion, Jawbreaker**, **Agent Orange, Jimmy
Eat World, The Offspring**, **All Systems Go**, and** Blink 182**, while touring
extensively across **Europe, Asia, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand**. The band
has played in over 20 countries, appearing at major festivals such as **Groezrock**(
Belgium), **Pouzza Fest** (Montreal), and **The Fest** (Gainesville).

Their discography spans eight full-length albums, numerous EPs, and compilations,
including a 7-inch on **Fat Wreck Chords** and a split with **Face to Face**. In
a review of 2000’s _Pop Culture Failure_, _AV Club_ editor Kyle Ryan praised the
band for finding “_the magic mix of intersecting guitars, a forceful rhythm section,
and vocals that knew when to sing and when to shout._”

With _Now and the Future_, Horace Pinker continues that tradition of hard-hitting,
melodic punk that has carried them through decades of independent music.
