Teen Mortgage Partner With Revolver to Premiere “Disappear”
TEEN MORTGAGE TEAM UP WITH REVOLVER TO PREMIERE “DISAPPEAR” LYRIC VIDEO — WATCH
HEADLINE TOUR HAPPENING NOW!
BAND TOURING WITH JOYCE MANOR NEXT SPRING
Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE — guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer EdBarakauskas — have teamed up with Revolver to premiere the lyric video for gloriously discordant, grimy punk new single “DISAPPEAR.”
“‘Disappear’ was inspired by The Almanac Singers ‘I Don’t Want Your Millions Mister,'”Guile states. “The subject matter is as relevant now as it was back then. Soulless technology barons continue to bring about a second gilded age for the USA. History shows us this type of feudalism goes hand in hand with fascist control. We present a very easy solution: These fascists must disappear.”
“Disappear” is featured on the band’s debut album DEVIL ULTRASONIC DREAM, out now via Roadrunner Records. Get it here.
Teen Mortgage, who have shared stages with the likes of Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins. are in the middle of a headline tour. Get tickets here.
They will hit the road hard in 2026, as well, as they are set to tour with Joyce Manor, Militarie Gun, and Combat next spring. All dates are below.

ABOUT TEEN MORTGAGE:
Teen Mortgage are here with a full can of gasoline, as the world burns, to help brighten our day. Hailing from England, guitarist and frontman James Guile had been noodling with the Teen Mortgage project under various monikers for years all the while building a sound laden with sociopolitical commentary spun into anthems with heavy mosh pit energy and influenced by classic ’80s punk bands. After relocating to Maryland five years ago, where the trash fire in D.C. burns brightest, he posted a “DRUMMER WANTED” classified ad along with some early TEEN MORTGAGEdemos on Craigslist as sort of a joke. Luckily, drummer (and former nurse) Edward Barakauskas knows funny and the universe knew we needed Teen Mortgage now more than ever, the rest is, as they say, musical history.The duo spent the following years trying not to die and growing the Teen Mortgage brand in the DMV. In between a global pandemic and Ed serving as an ER frontline worker, they managed to drop an EP and a number of singles before signing to Roadrunner Records in 2024. In April 2025, coming off of touring with Weezer and The Smashing Pumpkins, Ed and James deliver their first full length album Devil Ultrasonic Dream, which continues on their narrative about trying to enjoy life despite living through the age of tech feudalism, American oligarchy, and military industrial complex.The title Devil Ultrasonic Dream leans into 1980’s “Satanic Panic” in rock and roll as the nation shifts further into fascist Christian theocracy and censorship.
Not sure if he was going to wake up dead on any given morning, Guile kept the creative process on D.U.S.D. simple, saying. “I just wrote the demos over the period of the last year between touring. I wrote like 25 songs, we picked the best 11. We went to the same studio we’ve been going to for the bulk of our recording career; worked with Kenny Eaton at Mystery Ton Studios, and made the better version of what we did before. The guitars are recorded better, the drums are recorded better, vocals are recorded better. We went on tour with Weezer and the Smashing Pumpkins and I just got blown away with that sound of Billy Corgan’s layering of guitars so there’s just big ass guitars on this one and the lyrics are a lot better as well.”Not that he gives two shits about being categorized, when asked what box he thinks the band might be put in with this album, Guile responds, “I think punk is so loosely defined, especially hardcore in the year 2025 is like so loosely defined. I’ve heard people call us surf hardcore; I’ll take that. I can think maybe the Dead Kennedys is like a surf hardcore band, but I just call it punk or garage punk. I feel like if it’s garage punk there’s more of a template to do whatever you want with it; it doesn’t put you as much in that hardcore box. I’ll accept it if people think we’re hardcore, soft core, whatever. Fuck it.”
