"It Might Just Be Our Most Fearless Album Yet": Whiskey Myers Announce Seventh Studio Record Whomp Whack Thunder

Horns at the ready folks. Whiskey Myers have announced their new album, Whomp Whack Thunder.

The fiercely independent six-piece will release their seventh album on September 26, with production duties in the hands of Eric Church's favoured right-hand man, Jay Joyce.

Since last week (April 15), the group have been teasing the big reveal through a series of vignettes posted across social media, all presented on an old set top television and VHS player.

Alongside clips of old movies like Dirty Harry, Scarface, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction and moments in history, including the 1969 Moon Landing, the group shared behind-the-scenes of them in the studio, leading fans into a tizzy about not just if, but when, new music would be on the way.

Today (April 23), is that day. To celebrate the announcement, the group have shared the first taste of what's to come from Whomp Whack Thunder, in the form of the sharply tuned 'Time Bomb'.

The song presents quite a noticeable evolution in sound from the opening bursts of Mariachi brass that opened their sixth album, Tornillo.

On 'Timebomb', Cody Cannon audibly counts in the group over a mechanical drum beat, before the group unleash their Hives-esque stadium garage rock sound on your ears.

Jay Joyce's production is certainly unmistakable, tightening the band up without losing any of their raw southern rock exhuberance. There's still room for a spacey jam within it's 3-minute runtime also, Joyce seemingly providing the organ under John Jeffers' goliath guitar-wringing. Let's be honest, this song was born to played out to 90,000 in a college football stadium.

Even before we knew Whomp Whack Thunder was on the way, 2025 was already going to be a notable year for Whiskey Myers fans.

The group are headed for California this weekend to play Stagecoach (a set we're assured you cannot miss), before kicking off their What We Were Born To Do Tour in June. That'll take them around the US, kicking off in Iowa on June 6, and closing out in North Carolina on July 27.

Miss out on tickets for that run? Don't fret - the group are heading right back out on the road for a co-headline tour with the legends that are the Tedeshi Trucks Band. That'll see them start out in the West Coast and head east, laying tracks in Oregon on August 7th and closing out in New Hampshire on September 1.

Thought that was it? Nuh uh my friends, Cody and the boys aren't done yet. Their beloved one-day festival, Wiggy Thump, returns to Palestine, Texas on May 10, with Blackberry Smoke, Reid Haughton and Kenny McCann and The Painted Desert Band joining them.

To close out the year, their heading for Florida to host their very own Moon Crush event, suitably entitled Whiskey Moon. This is a particularly special three-day event, where the group will play a strictly covers set on Friday, November 7, before the big stadium sized set on Sunday, November 9.
