Washington D.C.’s American Television have delivered one of the standout punk releases of the year with You Are Not Alone, a six-song EP out now on Smartpunk Records. It’s melodic punk with a mission: to lift spirits, build community, and remind listeners that even in dark times, no one is truly on their own.
From the opening punch of “This Is Hell” to the anthemic closer and title track, the band keeps the energy high and the hooks sharp. Guitars cut with classic skate-punk speed, the rhythm section drives every chorus forward, and the vocals carry just enough grit to make every lyric land with urgency.
Tracks like “Stronger” and “Time Is Now” balance raw energy with a message of resilience, while “Witches!” and “Rodeo Clown” inject a playful edge without losing focus. It’s a set that feels both personal and universal—melodic punk that’s as cathartic as it is catchy.
Fans of The Copyrights, Banner Pilot, or Off With Their Heads will find a lot to love here. You Are Not Alone is more than a title—it’s a promise, delivered with ringing guitars and sweat-soaked conviction.
