Don’t Panic announce new album ‘For Your Consideration’

DON’T PANIC have announced a brand new album!

The Pennsylvanian rock band will release their new album For Your Consideration on April 17th, via SmartPunk Records. Serving as the follow‑up to 2023’s Setting Up To Fail, the new record sees the band refining their energetic pop‑punk foundations with a stronger focus on self‑reflection, growth, and the tensions between nostalgia and adulthood.

Speaking about the album, frontman Ted Felicetti states, “on our upcoming fourth studio album, For Your Consideration, we tried to lean into the tension that has always lived at the core of this band: the push and pull between youthful nostalgia and adult self-reflection. People know us for our energetic pop-punk roots and emotionally charged songwriting, but I think we sharpen both edges here. We tried to confront the idea of getting older in an industry that prioritizes youth, or call back nostalgia, but leave little room for what lives in between. The title is framed almost like a tongue-in-cheek awards submission, we tried to explore the idea of performative living. Asking what it means to create, to age, and to stay relevant in a culture that constantly recycles the past. The songs move between self-deprecation, frustration, and defiance, and try to capture the feeling of outgrowing the very things that once defined us.

Sonically, the album condenses everything DON’T PANIC has built since our formation; melding punchy, fast-paced arrangements with more deliberate, emotionally resonant moments. At its core, For Your Consideration is about shedding old skin: rejecting the comfort of familiarity, confronting self-made failures, and choosing growth anyway. This is not just a continuation of our story. It’s a statement of intent.”

Alongside the announcement, the band have released the lead single Honest, accompanied by an official music video.
