Public Opinion are back with a new 3-song EP, Perpetual Motion Machine, arriving this fall via their new label, SideOneDummy. The EP is a promising start to the bands next chapter, drawing more melody out of Public Opinions primal punk while keeping the unhinged glint that makes their music so compelling.

Perpetual Motion Machine's monster opening track and lead single, Laughing Academy features guest vocals from none other than Drug Church frontman, Patrick Kindlon. The track bursts from the speakers, careening from swaggering garage rock riffs into a massive chorus, all while vocalist Kevin Hart and Kindlon perform the most pissed-off duet youve ever heard.

Public Opinion emerged from the Denver, Colorado, hardcore scene in 2020 and have evolved from spunky proto-punks into an anthemic rock n roll powerhouse. Perpetual Motion Machine follows the bands debut album, Painted On Smile, which was released in 2024, and drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more. The new songs were recorded by Christian Gutierrez and mixed by Brett Romnes (Anxious, Oso Oso, I Am The Avalanche) and they pickup where Painted On Smile left off, dialing up the bands catchy and confrontational blend.

The band will be on tour across the US this fall with Militarie Gun before heading into the studio to record with producer Brett Romnes.
