Wealthy Women by Nate King
Today, San Francisco three-piece Wealthy Women announce their debut album Children, produced by Scott Evans (Neurosis, SUMAC, Autopsy), and share its first single, “37 Days.” The album is set for release on the 7th of August 2026.
Following their debut single, “Take It Back”, released in April, “37 Days” arrives as an early window into the unflinching world of Children. The track tells the story of Asaad al-Nasasra, a Palestinian Red Crescent paramedic detained by Israeli forces on March 23rd, 2025, after an attack that killed eight of his colleagues. He was held for 37 days, barred from legal counsel, and released on April 29th. The attack on the clearly marked ambulances was later admitted by the Israeli military following international outcry.

Speaking on the “37 Days” and its message, Wealthy Women said:
“It’s difficult to make sense of the suffering caused by the ongoing war in Gaza on a personal level. Some stories of that conflict have become touchpoints which cut through the noise in a way that forces a distant Western observer to put themselves in the place of another person, rather than attempt to grapple with statistics.”
“The story of Hind Rajab is the stuff of nightmares for any parent. Asaad al-Nasasra is still alive, but his 37 day imprisonment after an attack which killed eight of his colleagues is the basis for the song of the same name.”
“The song places the listener in the perspective of the paramedic and taps into the fear and helplessness we would feel in his place. It concludes by imagining the protagonist driven to defiance rather than despair.”

Wealthy Women are not a very Bay Area band, despite calling San Francisco home. The trio – Don Doblados (bass), Andrew Harms (drums), and Peter Sisk (guitar/vocals), carry with them a particular outsider’s perspective. Don is the Bay Area-born son of Filipino immigrants. Andrew arrived from Kansas. Peter, the band’s chief songwriter, is Irish and only moved to the US in 2017, arriving during the earliest months of the first Trump administration. He has watched the country change around him ever since.
That outsider vantage point is the engine of Children. Written largely in the wake of Trump’s re-election in 2024 and shaped by the rising tide of despair throughout 2025, the album confronts the crises that define this political moment: toxic masculinity and the online radicalisation of young men, the human cost of cruel immigration policy, and the casual inhumanity of modern war. As the weight of those subjects grows heavier, the band’s tunings drop lower to match. This is heavy music made by people with their ears to the ground.
Speaking on their long awaited debut album announcement the band say: “We’ve been working towards this for quite a while; the album was written and recorded during 2025 and the themes of that year definitely form a huge part of it. Since then the band has been focused on touring and we’ve been really enthused by the reaction to the songs live. We’re excited to share them with a wider audience. The themes of the album feel just as present in 2026 as they did last year, dealing as it does with war, the death of innocents and the assault on democracy.”
The eight tracks that make up Children move between outrage and grief, with satire and dark observational humour used to vary the emotional register. “37 Days” tells the story of Asaad al-Nasasra.”Take It Back” follows a woman who supported harsh immigration policies until she finds herself caught in the machinery of immigration enforcement. “Atheist Wife” wears the mask of a love song to skewer the Christian Nationalist view of women. “Worst Date” stares down the misogyny peddled by the Manosphere. “Shit Breaks” is a quiet, devastating account of spousal abuse. “Siege,” written in late 2024, describes Trump’s second term with a prescience that still stings. The title track closes the album in mourning for the children of Gaza and Ukraine. “Men of the West” stands apart as the lyrical outlier, drawing its horror not from the present but from the deep past.
Children is recorded at Antisleep Audio with producer Scott Evans, whose work with Neurosis, SUMAC, and Autopsy speaks to a shared understanding of music that needs to be felt in the chest. On Children, the urgency is undeniable.
Children is out on the 7th of August, 2026.
