In 2026, more than ever, the world needs good news. So the fact that legendary melodic shredders Team Dresch are not only back but return with a new album thirty years after the group’s last full-length gives everyone something to celebrate. The iconic, incendiary queercore punks will release Furthermore (Jealous Butcher Records) on September 18, 2026 and share “One Song”, a tidal wave of guitars, emotive vocals, and booming drums complete with a video starring singer/bassist Jody Bleyle’s daughter.

Singer/guitarist Kaia Wilson likens the new record to “lungs full of grief expelling, eyes and guts wide open, yearning to be one with animals and nature, metal-flange-goth-grunge-punk-ass-rock-and-roll, loaded with inimitable vocal melodies and harmonies, Donna Dresch’s soaring guitaring that grabs you by the heart, so many other rad guitar parts all orchestrally intertwining, deep hynotic bass, and drumming mastery that deserves its own Grammys.”

The band explains ‘One Song’, “There are lots of layers to this song. It’s a love song to our young selves from our present selves. It’s a song of hope and power for all the young queers who are dragged into the struggle. It’s also a song for the elders who have built defenses from years of working and caretaking and being pounded by life.

The chorus starts, ‘They say there’s danger In the Night Kitchen/But it’s a dreamland/And it’s all for us.’ In the Night Kitchen is a banned book written by our queer ancestor, Maurice Sendak, who creates magical dreamlands. And then as we wrote about what it’s like to be older, Mel [York, drummer] remembered a message from an elder queer going through the same things as us and that message inspired the second verse.

Young people are not only told that they’re IN a nightmare, but they’re told that they ARE the nightmare. But actually, our queerness is a dreamland full of feral, playful joy.”

Why release a new record 30 years after your last one? Kaia explains it best below:
