The Barbarians Of California have shared everything you need to know about their upcoming second album, including an unstoppable new single.

The chaos-loving hardcore-punk outfit’s latest album is titled ‘MEGATONS’, and it’s set to arrive on August 21.

On the announcement, the band’s Eric Stenman has said:

“Everyone has heard of the sophomore slump. Making a second album can be a fraught process full of overthinking and self-doubt. Perhaps, the benefit of us starting this band, at this later point in our lives, relieves some of that pressure. This felt so easy, and is a seamless continuation of whatever we started with the first batch of song – just bigger and better.”

Following the arrival of crushing single ‘Vanilla Latte’ earlier in the year, the album’s announcement also brings with it another belting new track titled ‘The Gnarlycore Class’, which comes with a delightfully hilarious music video set in a classroom.

Check it out below.

On the release of ‘The Gnarlycore Class’, Eric has shared:

“Sometimes when writing a new song, the goal is to land on a tempo that hasn’t been used anywhere else on the album. ‘Gnarlycore’ was just that. I think Aaron has been wishing for something in this vein for a while now. This was the second to last song that we came up with for MEGATONS, and it seemed to come together quickly and effortlessly.”
