The US pop-punks will follow the single with new album ‘Blasted’ next month.
Portland pop-punks Mean Jeans will release their sixth album, ‘Blasted’, in February and ahead of that have released the hyperactive single ‘Something’s Going On’.
The track blurs the lines of reality with a tale of a nuclear power plant spill that leads to some seriously contaminated pot plants.
Vocalist and guitarist Billy Jeans said: “If ever there were a movie made for the Mean Jeans, it would be Class of Nuke’ Em High (1986). If you don’t know it, the lyrics to “Something’s Going On” are pretty much a synopsis.
“A nuclear power plant spill contaminates some pot plants, the honours students turn into a psycho punk gang called The Cretins, and those who smoke the toxic weed get majorly mutated. Watch the film and jam our homage!”
‘Something’s Going On’ will be on the band’s upcoming full-length, the 15-track ‘Blasted’, which drops on February 9 on Fat Wreck Chords.
