Pinkshift have released new single 'Authority Problem' ahead of their 2026 tour
The band also announced a headline U.S. tour starting this October.
Pinkshift have unveiled their latest track, 'Authority Problem', as they gear up for an extensive UK and European tour with Grandson in 2026. This new release comes on the heels of their album 'Earthkeeper', out now via Hopeless Records.
The Maryland trio, comprising vocalist Ashrita Kumar, guitarist Paul Vallejo, and drummer Myron Houngbedji, reflect on the themes of their new song: "Fuck ICE, fuck the left and the right, fuck the false decorum of rules and laws and executive orders just created to make people feel small and helpless. Only I know who I am, and if you disrespect me then I don’t care, you’ll feel my wrath."
