Public Opinion have announced their upcoming sophomore album, The Curse of Public Opinion, arriving 7th August 2026 via SideOneDummy.
Clocking in at a mean. 23 minutes, The Curse of Public Opinion is loaded with defiant anthems that plumb the depths of existential disappointment through a sneering cocktail of 2000s garage rock swagger, classic punk hooks, and hardcore ferocity. Plenty of albums provide the soundtrack for picking yourself back up, but Public Opinion are there for when you’re getting kicked while you’re down.
To celebrate the announcement, Public Opinion have shared the record’s raucous opener, “Balloon Man Running.” It’s a vitriolic cut of unfiltered frustration set to the kind of primal rock & roll riffs that few bands have the guts to try, let alone pull off.

1. Balloon Man Running

4. Lucky Me
