Pop-punk powerhouse Action/Adventure has teamed up with Dan Lambton (rationale., ex-Real Friends) on their new single “Something Isn’t Right Here”. The second track to be released from their forthcoming album, Ever After, “Something Isn’t Right Here” sets a furious pace as the band blends driving percussion and punishing breakdowns.

Drummer Adrian Brown shares: “What draws me to this song is the new feel of the lead. We don’t typically do a more electronic sound but I think it adds something really special and unique to the record. We were also able to get a really huge sounding chorus here that just can’t stop listening to. Overall this song just keeps the energy up and every part of it gets me excited.”

Adds vocalist/guitarist Brompton Jackson: “‘Something Isn’t Right Here’ is a song that I’m really excited about. It has a lot of elements from different styles that we all love and listen to that we’ve never actively worked to put into an Action/Adventure song. We said “what can we do here that we’ve not really done before or almost shyed away from?” So you’ve got things like our typical heavy pop punk things but you also get like electronic parts and post hardcore elements that we don’t typically lean as hard into. It’s also special because we have Dan on the track with us. This is something we’ve talked about with him for some time and it’s really awesome that it finally happened.”

Ever After, set to be released on October 24th via Pure Noise Records, marks a bold new chapter for the Chicago-based band, pairing their signature high-energy riffs and soaring hooks with deeper storytelling, unapologetic emotion, and the urgency fans have come to expect.

About Action/Adventure:

Formed in 2014, the group - Blake Evaristo (lead vocals), Brompton Jackson (vocals/guitar), Adrian Brown (drums), Manny Avila (bass), and Oren Trace (guitar) -first broke through in 2020 when their debut TikTok video, “Barricades,” went viral, spotlighting the obstacles they faced as an all-BIPOC band within the pop-punk scene. They followed that moment with 2021’s Pulling Focus EP and their 2022 Pure Noise debut, Imposter Syndrome - a record that, despite its title, proved their place as one of the genre’s most vital and distinctive voices.

Ever After builds on that foundation. Confident yet self-aware, the album acknowledges the struggles of balancing art with everyday life, and the pressures of following up a breakthrough debut. “This is literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” admits Jackson. “The industry is so different from what we thought it would be as kids. The theme of this record is the duality of everyday life versus band life, and trying to make them coexist without losing yourself in the process.”

With producer Alan Day (Four Year Strong, Knuckle Puck) at the helm, the band pushed themselves creatively, recording at Ghost Hit Studio in Springfield, Massachusetts. The result is 11 songs that chart a journey through doubt, perseverance, and renewal.

The record also features a handful of notable collaborations: Dan Lambton (rationale., ex-Real Friends) lends his voice to “Something Isn’t Right Here,” Armor For Sleep’s Ben Jorgensen co-wrote and appears on “Background,” and UK artist Noahfinnce joins the band on “Go Directly to Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect 200,” a track critiquing systemic inequities.
