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.

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.
