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.
