Work Party are a brand-new band from Chicago that fuses elements of post-hardcore, noise, garage and post-punk into one uncompromising force. Pair that with tight, concise songs and snark-driven, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and you have a rough idea of what to expect from the band\u2019s debut album,\u00a0\u2018My Best Days Are Behind Me,\u2019\u00a0slated for release\u00a0October 1st\u00a0via the noise imprint Triple Eye Industries.\u00a0Recorded\u00a0at Electrical Audio by renowned engineer Greg Norman, their debut album is more than just a document of the band\u2019s first collection of songs\u00a0\u2014 Norman\u2019s work captures the band\u2019s strength as a singular unit, with panoramic guitars and a tight, pummeling rhythm section working together to provide an unbreakable foundation for vocalist Tristan Widloe to build upon.\u00a0

Work Party is officially announcing their debut album today along with the release of their very first official single Drunk Conference Call<\/em>. The single comes with a likely unforgettable animated music video that was directed and animated by the London-based artist Dimitris Armenakis.\u00a0Starting with a hardly impassioned, ultra-goofy wail, Drunk Conference Call<\/em> sets the tone for much of what Work Party’s debut album\u00a0has to offer, injecting their music with a sense of humor while also touching on serious themes in a way that’s seamless.\u00a0Watch the video clip via YouTube below or buy\/stream here: https:\/\/workparty.fanlink.to\/drunkconferencecall<\/a>

Somewhere in the vein of the Damned or Killing Joke by way of Dischord and SST, Work Party has the straight-ahead propulsion and snarl of late-70’s punk on the new single. 60\u2019s-styled handclaps are an unexpected but welcome addition, giving the otherwise menacing track a slight touch of pop.\u00a0All this lays a foundation for vocalist Tristan Widloe to tell the tale of a daytime bender while on the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
