Today, influential Los Angeles psych-punk torchbearers Frankie and the Witch Fingers have shared another example of what to expect from their new album Trash Classic (June 6, 2025 // The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records). “Total Reset” arrives with an appropriately grimy lyric video in tow – watch HERE. The new track precedes this weekend’s release of the band’s earthshaking KEXP-presented in-store performance from last year (which goes live on their YouTube channel on April 11, the day before its vinyl release as an official Record Store Day item). Recorded live at the KEXP Gathering Space in Seattle, hosted by the legendary Cheryl Waters, and now immortalized on limited-edition colored splatter “REACTOR BREACH” vinyl for Record Store Day 2025.
"’Total Reset’ is a spasmodic blast of punk and synth freakery, a tech product launch for the post-human era,” the band says. “Writing and recording a song can be such a hassle, so we let AI handle it this time (faster, cheaper, zero complaints). It spat out a nice little doomsday ditty: humanity is toast, a lucky few will be spared to reboot civilization. Weirdly enough, the song kind of rips, so maybe we don’t need humans to make things after all."
The band has also announced a robust slate of headline world tour dates, which include some of their biggest shows to date. See below for the full list of shows, with more to be announced soon.

PRE-ORDER TRASH CLASSIC
Trash Classic follows another sort of classic, the band’s widely-acclaimed 2023 masterwork Data Doom. FLOOD Magazine had an almost prescient take, noting that Data Doom “feels much more in line with vintage dystopian sci-fi connotations, swapping weed-smoke riffs for frigid new wave pulses.” SPIN Magazine was early on the scene to declare the band has “become a heavy hitter in the underground rock, punk, and psychedelic circles,” and Exclaim! praised the band’s tendency to “walk the line between chameleonic and commanding, wielding endless inventiveness as a weapon to outsmart artificial intelligence.”
In addition to enjoying global press accolades in 2023, the band also played their biggest shows yet (including headline festival appearances), recorded a very special KEXP live session, and reached #3 on Billboard’s Alternative New Albums and #4 on Top New Artist Albums charts.
