The Unknowns, in my book, are the most underrated punk rock band out there. It's not that they are completely overlooked, severely unappreciated, or completely, uh, unknown. But whatever love they've been getting is not nearly enough. Any time I listen to their last album East Coast Low, I swear I'm hearing a modern classic of punk music. Based on that record alone, The Unknowns ought to be massive. And who knows? Maybe their next album, Looking From The Outside, will be the one to launch them into the stratosphere. The album releases this summer on Bargain Bin Records and Drunken Sailor Records. In advance of the album, the single "Thunder in My Head" is now available for your streaming pleasure. And it's classic Unknowns — pairing old school Aussie punk ferocity with irresistible pop hooks. And then before you even know what hit you, the song is done, and you're left wanting more. This song was made to be played in your car with the windows down as you scream along and pump your fist in the air, aweing passerby and your fellow motorists with your triumphant air of indestructibility. Man, Looking From The Outside is gonna be one of THE albums of 2025! For now, crank up "Thunder in My Head" and be prepared to build your summer (or winter, if you're a local) playlist around it!
