The appreciable sway of sophomoric humor is just not misplaced on Nuclear Tourism—and neither is a good hook. Each are in full impact on “No By no means!” and its accompanying video, which paperwork the guitar-shredding exploits of a singing can of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

“We undoubtedly went for a Stooges vibe,” says frontman Parker Allen, who’s a useless ringer for Quick Instances At Ridgemont Excessive’s Jeff Spicoli when he wears his hair lengthy. “The tune is about answering to your self and doing no matter it’s you need to do.”

“No By no means!” is the primary single from the band’s self-titled second LP, out now on Child Robotic Information and produced by Jesse Mangum (Elf Energy, Meth Wax) at his Glow Recording Studio exterior Athens, Ga. Based when its members had been nonetheless of their teenagers, Nuclear Tourism initially took a again seat to the skate park. That modified for good when “Subatomic,” a hyper-catchy storage/punk ditty marked by Parker’s nimble guitar work, began selecting up traction on streaming providers. Contemporary out of highschool, Nuclear Tourism purchased a van and hit the street behind its 2018 debut, Scraping By. The band’s maiden tour was a blur of impromptu skate periods and sweaty gigs, peaking with a gap spot for surf/punk legend Agent Orange in Los Angeles. “Subatomic,” in the meantime, racked up greater than 1,000,000 performs on Spotify.

Not that Nuclear Tourism is taking itself any extra critically lately. Simply have have a look at the video beneath. “We make all of the movies ourselves over at my place with assist from my roommates,” says Parker. “Our homie movies for Paltas Skate Firm. He has a bunch of dope cameras we use primarily for skate movies—however the old-school look works nice for music movies, too. We’ve at all times needed to do a music video with a puppet or one thing like that, however the video ended up being me fucking round and making the beer can rock out.”

At the very least they’re doing their greatest to keep away from critical harm because the current restoration of drummer Brennan Murphy, who took out each wrists in separate skating mishaps. In spite of everything, it’s robust to play an instrument with out palms—except you’re a can of PBR in a Nuclear Tourism video.
