California Punks The Authorities are back with their first new material with their new line up and its as gloriously old school punk as you can get.

Ever meet someone and experience that intense electrical attraction? Of course, you have! Sometimes you dig the way they talk to you right from the start. That’s where ‘Talk to Me’ is coming from.

Any punk who’s ever walked down the street knows exactly what ‘Just an Excuse’ is about: getting hassled by cops just for being who they are. The song hails from the early days of young punk rockers walking the mean streets of Stockton, California, just minding their own business, and having cops snatching you up and threatening to arrest you. ‘Just an Excuse’ could be the soundtrack for police brutality.

This latest Authorities music represents the band’s first work since the addition of new members Philly Roach (bass) and Morgan Farrell (guitar). It was recorded at Kick Rox studios in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
