New Junk City Deliver Their Fourth Album, Where Could I Go?
New Junk City have released their fourth full-length. Where Could I Go? came out on 6 November 2026 via Lauren Records, and it is a melodic punk record that tackles grown-up themes head on. The Atlanta band describe the album as dealing with love, grief, responsibility and the compromises that come with building a life with another person, including how to live with your own shortcomings without turning bitter.
The album has twelve tracks: "Big Bed", "Stay the Same", "Long Way", "Crow's Nest", "For So Long", "Coffee And Peppermint", "Prayer for Gold", "Like I Love You", "E&J", "Lonely Now", "Shell Game" and "The End". Release Wave credits Tyler Bisson as producer, with the sessions taking place at Standard Electric alongside longtime collaborator Damon Moon.
Singles along the way
The rollout started on 19 August 2026 with the lead single "Lonely Now", which also announced the album. The band has said it is about setting boundaries after a relationship full of backtracking and letdowns, and accepting the new reality without lashing out. "Shell Game" followed on 10 September and deals with the compromises that work and stability can demand.
Release Wave files the album under pop punk and punk rock, which is a fair summary for anyone who likes their hooks sincere and their lyrics lived in. Pre-save links went out through Lauren Records ahead of release, and the album is now out for you to dig into.
