Bad Cop/Bad Cop are back in full force with “All Together Now,” the anthemic lead single from their upcoming album Lighten Up, out September 19 via Fat Wreck Chords, now operating under Hopeless Records. It marks the band’s first full-length release in five years and their first with new guitarist Alex Windsor.
“All Together Now” is defiant and sharply melodic, driven by dueling vocals, punchy riffs, and a rallying cry for unity and resilience. It’s a perfect snapshot of what Lighten Up promises to deliver—bold, emotionally charged punk rock that speaks to growth, community, and self-empowerment.
The track also arrives in the context of a major label milestone: the merger of Fat Wreck and Hopeless Records, which has already begun yielding standout releases across the punk spectrum. With this single, Bad Cop/Bad Cop remind us they’re not just keeping up—they’re leading the charge.
Whether you’ve been following them since Not Sorry or are just tuning in, “All Together Now” is a potent reminder of why this band continues to matter—and why Lighten Up is one of the year’s most anticipated punk albums.
