Today the Menzingers premiere the video for “Lookers,” the lead single from their upcoming fifth album After the Party (due out February 3). Directed by Sean Stout at Terroreyes.tv, “Lookers” captures the Philadelphia-based punk band’s rousing live performance in stark black and white.
High-energy and warmly nostalgic, “Lookers” finds the Menzingers paying tribute to their time spent in Asbury Park, weaving in images of smoke-filled diners and Jersey-girl heartbreakers.
“We have a very close connection with the Asbury Park scene,” says Menzingers singer/guitarist Greg Barnett. “It’s like a second home for the band, and ‘Lookers’ is a little love story about all the fond memories of the times we’ve spent there.”
Produced by Will Yip (Title Fight, Balance & Composure, Pianos Become the Teeth), After the Party arrives as the follow-up to the Menzingers’ widely acclaimed 2014 album Rented World. Throughout After the Party, Barnett and his fellow singer/guitarist Tom May, bassist Eric Keen, and drummer Joe Godino bring anthemic harmonies and larger-than-life melodies to deeply nuanced songwriting about getting older but not quite growing up.
