The Flatliners announce new album ‘Cold World’

THE FLATLINERS have announced their brand new album Cold World!

The upcoming record from the longstanding, Juno‑nominated Canadian punk quartet is the follow‑up to 2022’s New Ruin, a release that explored the inherited damage passed down from generation to generation.

Their new studio album is set for release on May 8th, 2026 via Equal Vision Records, Dine Alone Records, and Rude Records, and finds the band embracing the stability of four lifelong friends continuing to create together after 24 years.

To mark the announcement, the band have released the record’s lead single Good, You?. Its accompanying music video, directed by Jeff Powers, leans heavily into ‘90s nostalgia and pays tribute to the classic music video era the band grew up with.

The band had the following to share about the video, “we wanted to pay homage to the greatest era of music videos we have ever known – the one we grew up in. Our aim was to make a 90s-style video, portraying the album artwork in all its glory; to bring things back to a time where you could suspend disbelief and just let your eyes and ears devour those next three minutes. With the help of our amazing cast and crew, we achieved just that. A piece of nowstalgia that feels like it has a strong foot in the past, and another firmly planted in the present.”
