Teddy DuChamp's Army have announced ...The Spirit Never Dies., their first new album since reuniting in 2024, due October 9, 2026. The band have also shared the record's first single, “Throwing Rocks,” an upbeat, hook-heavy punk track built around sharp guitars and a big sing-along chorus.
The album was recorded in January 2026 at J. Robbins' Magpie Cage in Baltimore and features guitarist Mike Rock, vocalist Andy Wright and drummer Jeff Kopanic, with Robbins handling bass and Mario Quintero (Spotlights, Sisters, Molly McGuire) joining on second guitar. The result finds the band returning to their melodic punk roots with the punchy hooks and energy that should appeal to fans of Seaweed, Samiam and Rival Schools.
...The Spirit Never Dies. will be released in the U.S. through Creep Records and Sweet Cheetah Records, with Engineer Records handling the UK and Scene Police handling Germany/European distribution. Check out “Throwing Rocks” below.
