After nearly two decades, Boston indie-emo favorites Piebald return with Tales For The Rages, their first new album in over 15 years. The album arrives on June 12, 2026 via Iodine Records. Featuring 13 tracks of emo x indie-rock greatness, the record was written and recorded between 2019–2025 after the band's 2016 reunion sparked a steady flood of riffs, melodies, and lyrics that refused to fade. It picks up where they left off while confidently pushing forward — not a nostalgia play, but a natural next chapter.

Enter into the much anticipated new era of Piebald with the video for the first single "Still on the Couch" taken from the forthcoming LP and now streaming below.

Tracked at The Den in North Reading, MA with longtime collaborator Doug Batchelder, the album was produced in part by Jay Maas (Title Fight, Citizen) and mastered by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor). The result captures Piebald's signature mix of heartfelt, clever, and occasionally delightfully absurd songwriting, anchored by massive hooks and harmonies, with an undercurrent of social awareness reflecting on inequality, human behavior, and the strange modern world.

Tales For The Rages will be released via Iodine Recordings, marking the band's first release of brand new music on the label. Backed by a highly dedicated, multi-generational fanbase, Piebald will support the release with Summer and Fall tour dates, including festival appearances. Still singing, still swinging, against all odds, we're moving forward, together.
