THE COCKS RETURN APRIL 10th WITH “ENDLESS HUMMER” — AMERICA’S FAVORITE GAY PUNK ROCK BAND RIDES AGAIN

Los Angeles CA — “Endless Hummer isn’t just the title of our new album,” says THE COCKS loquacious lead singer Zsa, “it’s a love letter to the Southern California mythos: part surf movie, part punk rock apocalypse, part glitter-dusted fever dream.”

Following up on their slamming 2022 debut, Loads of Fun, Endless Hummer takes the Los Angeles four-piece’s signature mixture of catchy, anthemic punk rock and evolves it to the next level—glam-punk with a sunstroke. “We’re letting all our influences hang out on this one—it’s punk, it’s Beach Boys, it’s Zappa. It’s anthemic, bawdy, and funny. It rocks like a beast. And of course, it’s very gay.

The album kicks into high gear with “Sugar on The Rim,” its first single and mission statement in miniature. Says Zsa, “On this one, we challenged ourselves to deliver a song in quadruple-entendre—something slamming and sexy that leaves you wondering if we’re talking about a margarita, your morning coffee, or, well…you know. I think we nailed it.”

“Sex in Prison” extolls the perks of same-sex captivity, combining it with an irresistibly danceable hook. “Think of it as Jailhouse Cock,” says Zsa. Meanwhile, “Being a Fag (In a RNR Band)” is straight-ahead punk and a joyous reclaiming of the F-Word. Does the band care if anyone takes offense? “Context matters,” says Zsa. “I’m a fag in a rock ‘n roll band, so I’ll own it. Sorry, not sorry.”

“Gimme Gimme That Dick” treads familiar phallocentric territory for the band, built on a beefy ‘70s glam-rock hook and an unabashed lyrical craving for a rock ‘n roll drummer “who knows what to do with that…” Well, you know. “Brotein” dives headfirst into Motorhead-style metal, complete with a bone-breaking half-time chorus. “It’s the heaviest thing we’ve ever written,” says Zsa, “but—as always—we keep the lyrics light. Light in the loafers, that is.”

“Home Sweet Homo” is a pop-punk paean to a relationship gone hilariously wrong. “It’s basically our version of Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, just with tacos and no emotional breakthroughs,” says Zsa. “California Boys” flips the Beach Boys fantasy on its sunburnt ass, layering four-part harmonies in praise of their “golden locks / eating chicken strips, dumb as a bag of rocks.”

“Dr Booty” stomps into classic KISS territory, the house call you didn’t know you needed. Meanwhile, “Bonehenge” and “Anaphylactic Cock” veer (dare we say it) into prog-rock terrain, a one-two punch in praise of a mythic obelisk. Of sorts.

The title track, “Endless Hummer” brings the whole ride—and the listener— back to the beach. It’s arguably The Cocks’ most joyful, celebratory song to date. “We had a ball with this one,” says Zsa, “It’s everything we love about Chuck Berry style rock ‘n roll, but filtered through that Brian Wilson / Wrecking Crew magic that makes it unmistakably California.” And while the song’s irresistibly blunt chorus probably won’t land the band on Top 40 radio anytime soon, The Cocks remain unfazed. “Airplay’s always a gamble—especially with a name like The Cocks. But the fun? Off the charts.”

Endless Hummer, produced by The Cocks and Sejo Navajas, will be released digitally on April 10th, 2026 on all streaming platforms.
