US pop-punk/ska band Victory Kid is back with renewed energy: their brand-new single You’re Alright will be released this Friday. With a sound that oscillates between the raw energy of punk, the catchy hooks of pop-punk, and the blaring horns of ska, Victory Kid remains true to its mission—to deliver music with heart, attitude, and musical drive.

Inspired by the hooks and sounds of 2000s pop-punk, “You’re Alright” is written from the perspective of someone well acquainted with middle of the night, throat-closing panic.The song reflects the songwriter’s struggles with his own anxieties; the despairing lyrics mediated by a bright, propulsive guitar riff.A wake-up call to anyone adrift in the gulfbetween no longer and not yet, this is the final single release off the band’s sophomore album Catalyst (SBÄM Records).It will be promoted by the label and the band, who are slated to play major festivals during their tour in Europe this summer and fall. 

Victory Kid is a transatlantic punk-driven band rooted in Los Angeles with strong ties to Europe, blending high-energy pop-punk, ska influences, and socially conscious songwriting. Formed in 2018, they first broke out with their debut EP  Illenials , followed by  Thrillenials , and have been active for over seven years. Their 2021 full-length album  Discernation  was released through SBÄM Records, solidifying their European presence and leading to extensive touring across both continents.

Victory Kid has toured alongside major punk and ska acts including Zebrahead, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, The Real McKenzies, and Mad Caddies, earning a reputation for dynamic performances and infectious hooks. They’ve continued to grow their catalog with singles like “Escape Our Fate,” “No Brakes,” and the 2025 track “Expectations,” serving as the lead-up to their next full-length scheduled for 2026. Beyond traditional releases, Victory Kid has gained significant visibility in gaming culture through multiple placements in Fortnite’s vehicle radio, where songs such as “My World” and “No Brakes” have reached millions of players globally. With their bicontinental identity, energetic sound, and expanding media presence, Victory Kid continues to push forward as one of the vibrant new voices in modern punk rock.
