Last month Australian melodic punks Nerdlinger released their new single “Quicksand,” which is off of their upcoming LP Growing Up is Getting Old. That’s their first full-length since 2018’s Happy Place, and follows a string of singles, EP and split appearances in the interim.
Now the band has the second single from the album, “Hard Questions,” and it comes with a music video. It’s pretty awesome, but don’t be distracted by Scotty at the beginning.
The album will be out on 28 Nov 2025, again via PEE Records. Preorders should be up soon but, in the meantime, listen below, and check out their earlier works via the PEE Records Bandcamp pages or on Nerdlinger’s Spotify page).
