Implants Reveal First New Song Since 2016

Punk Rock Supergroup IMPLANTS—featuring members of SoCal mainstays Strung Out, Pulley, Ten Foot Pole, Authority Zero, and Brown Lobster Tank/The Tank—will release their highly anticipated full-length album, Annihilation, on October 18th via Cyber Tracks. Limited edition vinyl is now available for preorder.

The band has unveiled their first new song since the release of their 2016 EP, The Olden Age. Watch the lyric video for “Raise This Flag” here. 

“The song addresses how people are often oblivious to their surroundings, consumed by their cell phones,” explains vocalist Ken Conte. “It’s a reflection on how politicians prioritize their own greed and agendas over the welfare of future generations. We need to act now because our government is undermining our country and our planet, while people continue to follow misleading political rhetoric.” 

From grappling with depression and suicidal thoughts (“Radio Out”) to navigating the emotions of a breakup (“Shades of Black”) to addressing governmental corruption and the failings of our current leadership (“Raise This Flag”) — Annihilation explores the world around us.

IMPLANTS is a five-piece melodic punk rock supergroup formed in 2011, featuring members from iconic SoCal punk bands like Face To Face, Strung Out, Pulley, Ten Foot Pole, No Use For A Name, and Brown Lobster Tank/The Tank. They quickly gained a massive following after their demo tracks leaked online, capturing worldwide attention and radio play. Their song “Once Was I” remains a staple on SiriusXM Faction Punk. Their debut album, From Chaos To Order, was hailed as one of 2013’s Top 10 Punk Rock Releases and continues to attract new fans today. Known for their electrifying live performances, IMPLANTS has shared the stage with punk legends such as Good Riddance, NOFX, Pulley, and Strung Out.

IMPLANTS is Ken Conte (vocals), Rob Ramos (guitar, backing vocals), Chris Del Rio (bass), and Chris Dalley (drums).
