Chicago punk veterans Horace Pinker return with Now & The Future, their first full-length in over a decade, out now via People of Punk Rock Records. Time hasn’t softened them—it’s given their melodic punk more depth and sharper edges.
Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie) handling production and engineering, the album delivers the tight, urgent sound fans expect while exploring a wider dynamic range. It feels like a natural evolution: rooted in the band’s ’90s grit but with lyrics and melodies that speak to today’s uncertainty.
Standout tracks like “Call It A Day,” “Fear Of Heights,” and “Three Against Me” balance raw energy with hook-heavy choruses, proving Horace Pinker can still pack a sing-along punch without losing their edge.
Now & The Future isn’t just a comeback—it’s a reminder that great punk ages with purpose. Horace Pinker sound as vital now as they did when they first broke out, and this album cements their relevance in a scene they helped shape.
