Memphis, Tennessee duo HEELS, comprised of singer/guitarist Brennan Whalen and singer/drummer Josh McLane, have been a fan favorite punk outfit since the summer of 2015.  Known for their on-stage banter as much as their raucous live performances, HEELS drift between blistering working-class rave-ups, fist-pumping scream-alongs, and even introspective guitar-driven indie songcraft, often catching audiences off-guard. 

Over the last seven years, HEELS have released several EPs, as well as their 2018 debut full-length Good People Even Do Bad Things.  The follow-up, Pop Songs for a Dying Planet sees release Saturday, October 22 via CD and digital formats via Austin/New York label Altercation Records. The album gets a vinyl release in 2023. 

Today, Ghettoblaster shares “Dread” in advance of the full album release Saturday.

Catch them live:
The Altercation Comedy Festival, Austin, Texas, October 22
HiTone, Memphis, Tennessee, October 29, with Comedian Mo Alexander
