Los Angeles folk-punk veterans Hoist the Colors return with Documentation, their first release since signing with Hey Fever Records. The single arrives ahead of their upcoming full-length Dear Wanderlust, due out October 10.
Documentation finds the band sharpening their signature blend of punk urgency and folk storytelling. Acoustic guitars drive the rhythm, layered with raw, melodic vocals and subtle electric textures that give the song its depth. It’s a track that feels lived-in—equal parts personal narrative and rallying cry.
Premiered via New Noise Magazine, the single is paired with a stripped-down, DIY-style video that matches the band’s grounded aesthetic. It’s a strong introduction to this next chapter—one that holds onto their roots while moving forward with more clarity and control.
With Dear Wanderlust on the horizon, Documentation sets the tone: thoughtful, heartfelt, and unmistakably Hoist the Colors.
