Windwaker Announce New Album ‘Smile, You’re On Camera’
Windwaker have announced their next album, 'Smile, You're On Camera', due out on 23 October via Fearless Records. It marks the follow-up to 2024's 'HYPERVIOLENCE' and comes alongside a new single, 'closer', which the band describe as reflecting on the self-doubt and resilience of committing to a career in music rather than pursuing a "normal life".

To support the release, Windwaker will join Beartooth and Don Broco on a run of US tour dates in November and December, taking in cities including Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Explained simply
Windwaker is a contemporary rock band preparing to release their second full-length album this month. Their previous record, 'HYPERVIOLENCE', came out in 2024 and helped establish them within the rock music landscape.
The band's music explores introspective themes, with one song from the new album focusing on the self-doubt and resilience required when pursuing a career in music rather than a more conventional path. The record also features a guest collaboration with another artist.
To promote the album, Windwaker will join two established rock bands—Beartooth and Don Broco—on a tour across North America in the closing months of the year. The dates will take in major cities from the east coast to the west.
