Lagwagon Is Back with a Vengeance: New Album Sparks Punk Rock Revival in 2025!
Legendary California punk rockers Lagwagon have officially reignited the scene with the surprise announcement and release of their brand-new album, “Broken Yet Bold,” dropping June 2025. With nearly three decades under their belt, Lagwagon has proven once again why they’re considered one of the most influential bands to emerge from the 1990s skate punk movement.
Led by the ever-authentic Joey Cape, the band hasn’t just returned — they’ve exploded back into the spotlight with a record that blends nostalgia with razor-sharp commentary on modern life. Fans and critics alike are already calling “Broken Yet Bold” their strongest release since Let’s Talk About Feelings. Songs like “Walls of Echo,” “Unheard Youth,” and “Falling Forward” remind listeners why Lagwagon’s melodic aggression and lyrical honesty have stood the test of time.
What makes this comeback even more impressive is the context in which it arrives. In an age where punk has either gone pop or underground, Lagwagon has chosen neither path — instead carving their own trail with raw emotion, blistering guitar riffs, and a commitment to staying true to their roots. The band’s collaboration with Fat Wreck Chords remains rock solid, and the production values on this album strike a perfect balance between polished and punchy.
Adding to the buzz, the band has announced a world tour that kicks off in late July, beginning in Los Angeles and hitting cities across Europe, South America, and Asia. Early ticket sales have skyrocketed, with several shows already sold out within hours. A documentary chronicling the making of the album is also reportedly in the works.
For longtime fans, this revival isn’t just about the music — it’s about reconnecting with a band that never sold out and never lost its soul. For new listeners, Lagwagon’s return is a gateway to discovering the raw power of punk rock in its purest form.
In a musical era desperate for authenticity, Lagwagon’s return couldn’t have come at a better time. The band isn’t just back — they’re leading a revival that reminds us all why punk still matters.
Welcome back, Lagwagon. Punk is alive.
