Pittsburgh-based outfit Sunny Daze & the Weathermen formed back in the summer of 2022. And since then, the band has been hard at work sculpting what they’ve dubbed “flower punk,” which combines elements of garage rock, psych rock and post-punk.

The Pittsburgh-based outfit released their full-length debut, Sunny Daze for President earlier this year. They close out the year with “Wax Lips,” a blistering, mosh pit friendly ripper with a wild organ solo, fuzzy power chords, thunderous drumming and shouted vocals that sounds like a synthesis of Question Mark and the Mysterians, The Mummies and Miranda and the Beat with Thee Oh Sees.

The band explains that the track is about their personal experiences of the simplicity of youth — and that it’s the first of a batch of singles to build up buzz for their sophomore album, which is slated for release late next year.
