Elaborating on the new record, The Menzingers’ vocalist / guitarist Tom May shared: “So much changed in our lives and in the world while we were making this record, and somehow, it all pulled us deeper into the band and deeper into our friendship. Twenty years in and this is the most connected we’ve felt to what we’re doing. I’d always heard ‘bigger kids, bigger problems,’ and there’s truth in that, but there’s also bigger answers and deeper meaning. There’s a kind of hard-won hope you can only find on the other side of real change. In all the uncertainty of life and the world it’s easy to go straight to cynical. Easy to say fuck it all. With ‘Everything I Ever Saw’, we wanted to lean into all of it, head on. The whole damn thing.”
‘Everything I Ever Saw’ features the previously released single Nobody’s Heroes, and is available for pre-order / pre-save today, with several limited edition vinyl colour variants available in the band’s store.
Recorded with long-time collaborator and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy) at his brand new Memory Music Studios in Philadelphia, PA, ‘Everything I Ever Saw’ is The Menzingers at their most defining. It’s an album forged in the wake of life-altering change, where marriage, divorce, loss, and growth collide with a renewed creative urgency. Twenty years into their career, it sees the band going back to the raw, collaborative spirit that first made them essential, channeling hard-earned wisdom into songs that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. It’s a document of a band not just reflecting on who they’ve been, but actively becoming who they are.
The Menzingers are Greg Barnett (vocals, guitar), Tom May (vocals, guitar), Eric Keen (bass) and Joe Godino (drums). Since forming in 2006, The Menzingers stand as one of the defining voices of their generation—turning weathered memories and the uneasy passage of time into anthems that have profoundly reshaped the emotional landscape of modern punk.
