State Champs have announced their upcoming album, Kings of the New Age, which will be released on May 13 via Pure Noise Records. This will be the pop punk band’s 4^th studio album and first since 2018’s Living Proof. The album includes guest appearances by Ben Barlow (Neck Deep), Chrissy Costanza (Against The Current), Mitchell Tenpenny, and pop punk band Four Year Strong.

Discussing the album, the band says “Kings of The New Age is our fourth album, the one that we spent the most time on, and the one that makes the biggest statement. After writing over 30 songs, we narrowed it down to 11 that best represent our mission as a band, and sonically, match the energy level we wanted to captivate heading into this new chapter.”

Continuing further they say: “Lyrically, KOTNA is a reflection on the past few years during a very weird time. However, it is also a reminder that we’re only here for so long. Although we will always live and learn by trial and error in areas like friendships, family, careers, relationships, etc, there’s no time for toxicity and negativity when a certain opportunity presents itself. Never waste a moment that can be seized. Times are changing, culture is evolving, and we’re happy to provide the soundtrack and let you know that we’re Here To Stay. Welcome to The New Age.“

The band previously released the singles “Outta My Head” and “Just Sound” ahead of the album’s release. Their latest single is “Everybody But You” which features Neck Deep vocalist Ben Barlow. The video for the song has a party theme reminiscent of “Makes No Difference” by Sum 41 and “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World. Tyler Posey, Lil Aaron, and The Story So Far’s Kelen Capener make cameo appearances in the video.

State Champs say “Lyrically, ‘Everybody But You’ reflects on the back and forth of an overly toxic relationship, and after all that exhaustion, what better way to move on from someone than throwing a massive party with your friends? We also were heavily involved with the creative side of the music video treatment and direction in which we had a lot of fun portraying the concept and message of the song (and partying.)”
