For more than 35 years, Southern California melodic punk veterans GAMEFACE have built a legacy on heartfelt songwriting, emotional honesty, and an unwavering connection with their devoted fanbase. From influential releases on Revelation Records, Doghouse Records, and Equal Vision to a celebrated return in the 2010s, the band has remained a constant voice of authenticity, proving that sincerity never goes out of style.

Now, Gameface begin a new chapter with Iodine Recordings, returning with their first new recordings in over a decade. The two-song 7″, featuring “All My Friends” and “Men of Stone,” finds the band sounding as vital and emotionally resonant as ever. Rooted in the melodic post-hardcore sound they’ve spent decades refining, both songs reflect on friendship, aging, loss, and the quiet struggles that often go unspoken.

The cover art was designed by iconic cartoon artist Brian Walsby (7 Seconds, The Melvins, Corrosion of Conformity). See it below.

“‘As we age, our circle of friends tends to shrink. It’s easy to grow complacent and withdrawn. We lose people. Social media magnifies our anxieties, and the pull of political division only deepens the distance between us. It’s easy to feel small, isolated,” explains vocalist Jeff Caudill.

“‘We wrote ‘All My Friends’ and ‘Men of Stone’ for those who’ve drifted down rabbit holes, those facing declining health, and those who can’t quite bring themselves to talk about any of it. These songs lived as ideas for years, but only recently did we feel compelled to record them. It was a way to lean on our friendship and help get us through these dark times. We feel strongly about these songs, and we’re grateful they exist.”

Rather than chasing nostalgia, Gameface continue to write music with the same vulnerability and conviction that has defined the band since 1990. “All My Friends” and “Men of Stone” are not simply a return — they’re a reminder of why Gameface remain one of melodic punk’s most enduring and beloved voices.
