Imperial Teen Announce New Album All Over You: Hear “Overdrive”
Imperial Teen, the band led by Faith No More's Roddy Bottum, have announced their first new album in seven years, All Over You, alongside its lead single "Overdrive." The follow-up to 2019's Now We Are Timeless comes as Bottum also juggles a busy schedule with Faith No More, who recently announced their first shows in over a decade, underscoring renewed activity from the veteran musician across both projects.
All Over You is due out on 9 October via Merge Records and features ten tracks, including "Overdrive," "All Over You" and "Kiss It Goodbye." Bassist Jone Stebbins described the band's long-distance writing and recording process, while drummer Lynn Truell said the new material draws on a punk-inspired restlessness, with "Overdrive" borrowing a lyric from the Sex Pistols' "Bodies." The band will tour in support of the record, opening for the Breeders before headlining their own dates across the US into November.
