After nearly three decades of silence, California’s Lucerne Valley’s Chuck return with Sweetspot, their first new song in 28 years. Formed in the Mojave Desert in the early ’90s, the band built a reputation for melodic, heartfelt punk before stepping away from the scene. Now, they’re back—and sounding as urgent as ever.
Sweetspot bursts with the energy that defined Chuck’s early work, pairing punchy riffs and driving rhythms with a chorus that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Clocking in under three minutes, it’s a track that captures the raw spirit of ’90s SoCal punk while proving the band still has plenty left to say.
Known in the underground for releases like Hulaville and Westward Ho!, Chuck’s return is more than just a reunion—it’s a revival. Sweetspot bridges the gap between the past and present, offering longtime fans a taste of what they’ve been missing while inviting a new generation into the fold.
After 28 years, Lucerne Valley’s Chuck are back where they belong: loud, melodic, and uncompromisingly real.
