Self Defense Family have announced their new album.

'Have You Considered Punk Music', the follow up to 2015's 'Heaven Is Earth', will arrive through Run For Cover on June 29. Speaking about how it is inspired by his experiences as a touring musician, vocalist Patrick Kindlon said:

“I’ve been doing something for a long time that I find really fulfulling, and I’m able to look at it with more clarity as time passes. I can look at things from 10 years ago, or the reason I even got involved in this thing in the first place, with more perspective. The changes I’ve gone through as a person over time are interesting to me. I spend almost all my waking hours making things, and that’s a relationship I assumed was normal, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to understand that that’s not the way everybody is looking at life.”

On the recording process, he continued:

 “For us, recording is largely about first takes. We don’t see recording as creating a product - we see it as capturing whatever’s going on at the moment, and if we mess it up, we’ll do better next time. This album is different for us in the respect that it’s a fairly polished final product.”
