New Haven, CT-based rock and roll band The Problem With Kids Today are excited to share their latest single “Leather Jacket Blues” and its accompanying music video. The song is the second single be released from the band’s debut album Born To Rock out Feburary 9, 2024 (pre-order). “Leather Jacket Blues” debuted today at That’s Good Enough For Me and is on all streaming platforms for any playlist shares.
“Leather Jacket Blues” follows the album’s lead single “What Else Could I Say” which was released last month. The song’s accompanying music video, which was directed by Kicker Pictures’ Connor Rog, can be viewed at YouTube and the song is on all streaming platforms now for any playlist shares.
“Leather Jacket Blues” is a toe-tapping, pulse-pounding, tongue-in-cheek classic punk song. It exists somewhere between parody and pastiche, having a go at those that take themselves too seriously, the ones that with a straight face say “you can’t be a punk if you don’t have a felony“. At the same time it embraces that punk ethos that we all love, one of directness, honesty, and fun. Clocking in at a brisk 1:24, The Kids slam through the song at a frenetic pace, leaving no room for frills – or survivors. It was written in an afternoon following a short weekend tour. The band had noticed how much crowds responded to harder and faster songs. The Problem With Kids Today’s Tate Brooks says “We wanted to dance and shout and bang into each other, so we wrote a song that does exactly that.”
