Denver, CO punks Public Opinion have released their sophomore album, The Curse of Public Opinion! Out now via SideOneDummy, The Curse of Public Opinion is a lean 27 minutes of f*ck-you anthems that plumb the depths of existential disappointment through a potent cocktail of 2000s garage rock swagger, classic punk hooks, and hardcore bite. Some albums provide the soundtrack for picking yourself back up, but Public Opinion are there for when you’re getting kicked while you’re down. The album’s early singles have drawn attention from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Alt Press, and more. Now listeners can hear The Curse of Public Opinion in full and catch these songs live at the band’s upcoming US tour dates with Quicksand and Sparta. Listen to The Curse of Public Opinion everywhere:

Public Opinion emerged from the Denver, Colorado, hardcore scene in 2020 and have evolved from spunky proto-punks into the anthemic rock & roll powerhouse heard on their sophomore album. Recorded with Brett Romnes (Anxious, I Am The Avalanche, Hot Mulligan), The Curse of Public Opinion sounds absolutely massive, pushing the band’s blend of melody and madness further than ever before. Lyrically, vocalist Kevin Hart (not that one) rejects social media-derived faux therapy sentiments and platitude-drenched motivational speeches; this is properly pissed-at-the-world music for when it’s just time to vent. “A lot of bands make music about feeling bad but they’re so dialed-in. I think our message is a little more messy, but a lot more human,” he explains. “At the end of the day I’m kind of a quiet, angry guy. I don’t explode, I implode. So when it comes to the songs I don’t try to stop all that from coming through. The Curse of Public Opinion tracklist:
