Ben Quad announce new album ‘Wisher’
BEN QUAD have announced a brand new album!
The upcoming album, titled Wisher, is the second full-length from the Oklahoma-based emo punk band and the follow-up to 2022’s I’m Scared That’s All There Is, and last year’s Ephemera EP. It is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Pure Noise Records.
Alongside the album announcement, the band have released a new music video for the track It’s Just A Title. Speaking about the song, guitarist Edgar Viveros says, “It’s Just A Title is about living with constant existential insecurity and questioning whether life now is any better than before. Musically, we drew inspiration from bands like ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS and MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK, leaning into pop elements like heavy synths and a guitar solo. It was the first time we broke away from strict Midwest emo and punk structures, and it came together faster than anything we’ve written. For the video, we just wanted to have fun; silk robes, over-the-top vibes, and a tongue-in-cheek take on ‘suffering from success’.”
