Portland, Oregon garage rockers Gondos<\/strong> are back with some big news and an even bigger attitude. The band today announced their sophomore album, ‘Anatomy Of A Hornet’s Nest’<\/strong>, set to drop June 3rd, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 and they’re not easing you into it gently. Alongside the announcement comes a double-barrel preview in the form of two new singles, Contemporary Us<\/em> and When I Go<\/em>, following the recently released Stop Calling Me<\/em>. Digital and CD preorders are live now at gondos.bandcamp.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two New Singles, Zero Chill<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you needed a barometer for where Gondos are headed on album two, these tracks are it. Contemporary Us<\/em> takes dead aim at influencer culture and the hollow chase for instant fame, wrapped in blown-out garage punk intensity that hits like a static shock. When I Go<\/em> keeps the fuzz cranked but channels it into something almost anthemic \u2014 a middle finger raised high at an ex with just enough melody to make it sting twice. Pair those with the ripping, dead-end-job indignation of Stop Calling Me<\/em> and it’s clear: nothing and no one is out of the firing line on ‘Anatomy Of A Hornet’s Nest’<\/strong>. Vitriolic, tense, and absolutely in your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
