Chicago punk pioneers Naked Raygun<\/strong> today announced their first new album in 31 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Over The Overlords<\/em> will be released on Audioplatter on October 15. It is their first studio album since 1990’s Raygun\u2026Naked Raygun.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also the band’s first release since the sad passing of bassist Pierre Kezdy last year. Fans can pre-order the record here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago pioneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Naked Raygun are one of the most important bands in the history of Chicago punk rock, and were credited with creating the ‘Chicago sound’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists such as\u00a0Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters and Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio and Blink 182 have cited them as an influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over The Overlords is Naked Raygun’s first studio album since 1990.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They were formed in 1980 by Santiago Durango (guitar), Marko Pezzati (bass) and, soon thereafter, Jeff Pezatti (vocals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pezzati has been the sole constant member through multiple personnel changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band was prolific from 1980-1992, releasing five studio albums: Throb Throb<\/em> (1985), All Rise<\/em> (1986), Jettison <\/em>(1988), Understand?<\/em> (1989), and Raygun\u2026 Naked Raygun<\/em> (1990).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reunion shows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After disbanding in 1991, Naked Raygun played two reunion shows in 1997, which was released as the live album Free Shit!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band then reunited for good in 2006, releasing a series of 7in singles between 2009-2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, 15 years after their resurrection, their first studio long-player in 31 years is set for release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, it is the final record featuring longtime bassist Kezdy, who died from cancer in late 2020 after completion of recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LP version of Over The Overlords<\/em> contains 11 new songs, while the CD will have two bonus tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naked Raygun’s current line-up consists of Pezzati, drummer Eric Spicer and guitarist Bill Stephens, with Fritz Doreza stepping in on bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-one years is a long time in between albums for a band, but it’s safe to say the wait will be worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
