84 Tigers' new album "Nothing Ends" is out now. Featuring brothers Mike and Ben Reed (Small Brown Bike) and Jonathan Diener (The Swellers), the Michigan trio delivers a towering and emotionally charged record that explores the space between sorrow and hope, with special appearances by Rocky Votolato and Aaron Stauffer from Seaweed.

We reimagined “Sandy (The Next One)” to confront America’s gun violence crisis head-on. What begins in quiet reflection builds to an eruption of rage, mirroring our shared frustration after years of inaction. This version lingers in the heartbreak and we refuse to look away.

When Numero Group reissued our early work as "Home Is A Highway" and we reunited for a handful of shows, it brought us back into the same room for the first time in years. Playing those songs again and reconnecting with each other (and with all of you) reminded us why we started making music in the first place. What began as a celebration of the past slowly turned into something new.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, we’re releasing brand new music. The "Ordinary Wars" EP will be out November 21st on Spartan Records and pre-orders are available now.

Each copy of "Ordinary Wars" is a true piece of art: housed in a numbered, die-cut letterpress jacket crafted by Hammerpress in Kansas City, and packaged with a 12” x 24” letterpress poster, four 5” x 5” letterpress lyric inserts, and a letterpress-printed glassine envelope. The first pressing is limited to just 500 copies worldwide, spread across three unique vinyl variants with screen-printed b-sides.

Thank you for listening and for being part of this with us.

84 Tigers + Seaweed!

84 Tigers' new single "Regeneration Days" is streaming everywhere now. One of the first songs written for the album, it came together overnight and immediately felt special. To bring it to another level, the band enlisted Aaron Stauffer of Seaweed, a voice that helped define a generation of Pacific Northwest punk, to lend his unmistakable presence to the track. Listen and pre-order in the comments.

It’s here. SHINER's first new album in over five years, BELIEVEYOUME, is out everywhere now.

84 Tigers's new single “Fathom” is streaming everywhere now. Discordant, abrasive, and fun, it’s a 90s-tinged blast in the spirit of Handsome and Quicksand. The song channels the grind of endurance: unrelenting, breathless, and cathartic. Listen now at the link in our bio, and pre-order the new album “Nothing Ends” on limited edition vinyl or with some exclusive new merch. https://orcd.co/fathom
