The Menzingers have shared Better Angels, the latest preview of Everything I Ever Saw, their new album due July 17 via Epitaph Records. The song arrives with an official video directed by Britain Weyant, who also worked on the band's recent Chance Encounters clip.
Better Angels is built for the band's sweet spot: big-hearted punk with enough grit under the melody to keep it from floating away. Prelude Press frames it as a song about late-night conversations, responsibility, and resisting cynicism, while Rolling Stone's new interview with Greg Barnett and Tom May places it inside a record shaped by change, friendship, and staying present.
The album was recorded with producer Will Yip at Memory Music Studios in Philadelphia, according to both Prelude Press and Rolling Stone. That local setting fits the way the band are talking about the record: less as a nostalgia lap and more as a present-tense reset from a group that has spent two decades turning uneasy adult weather into shout-along choruses.
Everything I Ever Saw follows 2024's Some Of It Was True and features the previously released Nobody's Heroes and Chance Encounters. The Menzingers have also set a July 17 record-release show at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park before a larger North American headline run later in the year.
