Today, Portland’s punk rock outfit KEDDIES RESORT are excited to release their new single, “Duffel Bags,” a gritty, high-energy track that captures the band’s raw DIY spirit. Known for their fusion of punk rock intensity and power pop hooks, KEDDIES RESORT delivers another dose of angst and rebellion, wrapped in their signature lo-fi sound.
“Duffel Bags” furthers the band’s exploration of the absurdities of modern life, channeling frustration and urgency through distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and a sharp-edged vocal delivery — all while building anticipation for their upcoming album, 'American Spirit,' out July 4th via Sweatband Records.
The band comments on the new single:
"This song is about a dude who goes soul searching off the Oregon coast. He’s parked at a viewpoint daydreaming of things he wishes he could see/do in real life. 'Duffel bags of cash watching airplanes crash.' This song is the beginning of his plots for destruction against his workplace.”
