“Sweat and Blood” video

Sept. 22, 2026, SAN DIEGO – The Schizophonics, who recently signed with Alternative Tentacles and will release their new album Burning Floor in early 2027, have released a second single from the forthcoming album, “Sweat and Blood” (https://s.disco.ac/ppuryplgdgmn).

The track arrives as the band is in their first week of North American tour dates, performing this evening at Boise’s Shrine Ballroom.

“’Sweat and Blood’ is a stomping dance workout that lays a fuzzed-out guitar hook over a Motown-inspired beat,” vocalist/guitarist Pat Beers shares. “It’s an anti-A.I. anthem that stays true to our dance party ethos.”

The San Diego-based trio previously released “Black Pleather,” a track Vice described as “cranked to pure punk rock velocity… It never lets up, and it’s got one sick, searing solo.”

Tickets for The Schizophonics tour are available now: Schizophonics.com/shows. Fever Dog (Sept. 2-27), Descartes a Kant (Sept. 30-Oct. 22), and Dale Crover (Oct. 6-8, and 11-16).

The Schizophonics are Pat Beers (vocals/guitar), Sarah Linton (bass), and Lety Beers (drums). The San Diego-based band has exploded out of San Diego with the kind of raw, turbo-charged rock’n’roll that feels increasingly rare in modern music. The power trio has built a reputation for electrifying live shows that collide the fuzzed-out fury of proto-punk pioneers like The Stooges and MC5 with the sweat, swagger, and showmanship of James Brown and Little Richard. The result is a gritty, psychedelic blend of garage punk, classic rock, soul, and heavy groove.
