WSTR prove pop punk is alive and well as ever with their latest single, Bad To The Bone.

Having just announced their signing to Hopeless Records, WSTR celebrate this new chapter by releasing a new single, Bad To The Bone.

The single is the first to be taken from their upcoming album Identity Crisis, set to be released on August 31st. Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Sammy Clifford voices the band’s desire to push their songwriting, take some chances, and bring some attitude and swagger into the album:

We’ve added all these different genres into our sound while keeping the WSTR roots. This record is about putting the simple things together well and trying to make them great.

Kicking off with a raucous instrumental introduction, you can’t help but move along to the feel-good melodies and guitar hooks. Catchy vocals will captivate the listener immediately, and you can definitely imagine the anthemic chorus being screamed back by adoring fans. The accompanying video is equally playful, showing the band trying to shoot a video. However, a pesky ouija board seems to have a different agenda in mind, as it keeps creeping into frames and causing chaos.

WSTR will be making an appearance at Download Festival on June 9th, playing the new single live for the first time. They have also announced a record release show at O2 Academy 2, Liverpool on August 31st.
