Public Opinion Share New Single/Video "When Kevin Gets Free" from forthcoming LP
Denver, CO punk upstarts Public Opinion recently announced their upcoming sophomore album, The Curse of Public Opinion, and today they're back with another ferocious new single, "When Kevin Gets Free." The new song follows lead single "Balloon Man Running" (which drew praise from Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Alt Press, and more) and showcases Public Opinion's ability to seamlessly combine eye-bulching anger with unbridled melody. It's a primal rock & roll song for hanging onto grudges, and it's sure to help you blow off a little steam--even if only for two minutes. Fans of The Hives, Spiritual Cramp and The Vines blend of melodic post-punk and punchy alt-rock should enjoy this.

The Curse Of Public Opinion
August 7, 2026Denver punk band Public Opinion is releasing their second album, The Curse of Public Opinion on August 7th through SideOneDummy. Clocking in at a mean. 23 minutes, The Curse of Public Opinion is loaded with fuck-you anthems that plumb the depths of existential disappointment through a sneering cocktail of 2000s garage rock swagger, classic punk hooks, and hardcore ferocity. Plenty of albums provide the soundtrack for picking yourself back up, but Public Opinion are there for when you're getting kicked while you're down.
