Twisted Teens Drop New Track Stalks Ahead of Third 2026 Album

New Orleans-based garage-punk outfit Twisted Teens have unveiled Stalks, the newest single from their third album of 2026, The Holy Cross Tigers. The track arrives with a vibrant, trash-themed music video directed by Mama Hot Dog and drops just weeks before the full album’s release on Sub Pop Records on 6 November 2026. Fans can also catch the band live this autumn, supporting Kurt Vile & The Violators and headlining shows in Australia later in the year.

A Year of Relentless Output

Twisted Teens have had a prolific 2026, already releasing two full-length albums: Blame the Clown in January via Chain Smoking Records and Florida Water Blues in July (North America: Going Underground; rest of the world: Sub Pop). The Holy Cross Tigers marks their Sub Pop debut, following their self-titled 2024 LP. The album’s first single, When We First Met, set the tone for their signature lo-fi, swampy garage-punk sound, and Stalks continues in the same vein—delivering a murky, surf-pop-infused track with rickety drum machines, wobbly guitar riffs, and Caspian Hollywell’s drawling baritone vocals.

The Playful World of *Stalks

The music video for Stalks is a chaotic, colourful romp, blending public-access TV aesthetics with a junkyard setting. Directed by Mama Hot Dog, it features the band dressed in garbage cans, sporting soda-can hair rollers, and performing amid piles of trash—all while maintaining the track’s infectious, off-kilter energy. The visuals perfectly complement the song’s playful yet gritty vibe, reinforcing Twisted Teens’ reputation for blending humour with raw, lo-fi punk.

Tour Dates and What’s Next

Twisted Teens are hitting the road this autumn, kicking off with a sold-out headline show in New York on 3 November. They’ll then join Kurt Vile & The Violators as support for over a dozen dates, followed by their own headlining leg in Australia throughout December. For fans eager to experience their live energy, tickets for the Australian shows are available now, while the Kurt Vile support slots offer a chance to see them alongside one of indie rock’s most beloved figures.

Key Dates:

• 3 November 2026: Sold-out headline show, New York (venue TBA)
• November–December 2026: Supporting Kurt Vile & The Violators (US tour)
• December 2026: Headline shows in Australia (dates and venues TBA)

The Holy Cross Tigers drops 6 November 2026 via Sub Pop, with Stalks serving as the latest taste of what promises to be another standout release from one of 2026’s most prolific bands.
