Pulley released new single and video from forthcoming new long awaited album!

The time has come! After the last album of the skate punk legends from California came out in 2016, we have been offered an acoustic EP and a vinyl compilation by Pulley at the time of the pandemic – but apparently it always goes more diligent! So, Scott Radinsky and his rascals have just recorded a new album, which will be released already on May 13, 2022!

The first single “Golden Life” matching the album title “The Golden Life” will be released digitally on April 21 to give fans of the former Fat Wreck and Epitaph band a taste of a new album that has it all!

The second single “Lonely” will be released on May 10. The music video is a real treat for nostalgics: we see clips from old Skate Lab videos and pro skaters like Tony Hawk in their heyday. The skate video, which takes us back to the 90s, thus contrasts with the serious and socially critical song usual for Pulley:

“Lonely is a story of different people summed up in 3 minutes. It relates to the experiences of employees through the eyes of observers.” vocalist Scott Radinsky tells us about the song.

“Shady people who hide behind corporate titles and have no idea what it will be like when the reality of their power is over. They live in the fantasy of being on top of the world, giving orders and living with lies that will one day pass away.  
The moral of the story is don’t forget who we are and how we treat each other as human beings, keep your feet on the ground.”

Scott Radinsky explains how the new album came about this way, “The writing process for this album was a little different because of the pandemic. When everyone was out of work at the beginning, we decided to write new material, we had a lot of time to devote to the music and were able to flesh out the songs until we felt they were ready.”

In 2021, both an EP of four Pulley classics made into acoustic tracks and the compilation “Encore” were released.

“The difference between this and the acoustic album is that here everyone contributed and the songs were all new, whereas the acoustic album was just a different interpretation of the music that had already been released,” Scott says.

“We’re all proud of how these songs turned out musically and sonically and can’t wait to play them live and share them with everyone.”

About Pulley: 

Pulley is an American punk rock band from Simi Valley, California. Shortly 
after forming in 1995, the group signed to Epitaph Records. Over the next 
ten years, with the backing of the influential Los Angeles based 
independent label, the band issued five full length records, helping to build
a cult following of supportive fans.
As time went on, Pulley members, Scott Radinsky (vocals), Mike Harder 
(guitar), and Tyler Rebbe (bass), continued to tour and release new music 
regularly, eventually adding longtime friends Trey Clinesmith on guitar 
and Sean Sellers on drums.
In 2019, after more than two decades performing live, both nearby and in 
some of the further reaches the planet, Pulley was honored to be inducted 
into the Ventura County Music Hall of Fame. Pulley will release their new 
studio album “The Golden Life” on May 13, 2022 on SBÄM Records.
