Teen Mortgage Release KEXP Live Session

With a blistering, no-frills assault, Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE —guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer Ed Barakauskas — deliver raw, fuzzed-out riffs over pounding, minimalist drums, locking into a relentless groove that feels equal parts grit-infused punk and hardcore urgency. Their recent live performance at alt-favorite KEXP is sweaty, stripped-down, and confrontational, with zero dead space — just pure, amplified energy from start to finish. Recorded during their successful Spring 2026 tour run with Joyce Manor, the KEXP team captured the essence of the D.C. duo's DIY ethos in one of the most impressive displays of punk rock of recent memory.

Watch the TEEN MORTGAGE x KEXP session below:

For those hooked by TEEN MORTGAGE's live performance, the band comes stacked with a round of new tour dates, including stops at this summer's Rocklahoma (Pryor, OK), Riot Fest (Chicago, IL), Vans Warped Tour (Orlando, FL) and more. TEEN MORTGAGE will be joining punk rock mainstays, Rise Against and Alkaline Trio, for a trip around the States starting September 22 in Dallas, TX. All dates are below.

Ready to take their debut Roadrunner Records LP, Devil Ultrasonic Dream, on the road again, in addition to crowd favorites like the newly released single, “Burn”, fans will also be treated to a brand new track, "Democracy Manifest," premiering worldwide August 7 and on stage at Portugal’s SonicBlast Festival.

For rock fans still chasing that jolt of something real, loud, and dangerous, TEEN MORTGAGE aren't asking for your attention — they are demanding it. As the genre evolves, the duo stand at the front of the charge, and ignoring them isn't just a miss, it's a mistake.

Teen Mortgage Drop "Burn" — WATCH // Touring With Joyce Manor

Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE — guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer Ed Barakauskas — have shared the brand new single "BURN" ahead of their late winter/spring tour with Joyce Manor. 

The lyric video premiered over at Brooklyn Vegan. Watch and listen below.

"BURN" boasts push and pull tension and noisy riffs, and was co-produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR.

"There was a compelling urgency to record 'Burn,'" says Guile. "It called to us from the ether like the green goblin mask. It's sick to get a break from being on the road to record something that feels like a progression from our first album, Devil Ultrasonic Dream, and in time to throw in the set for our tour supporting Joyce Manor...As far as the lyrics go, I'm just saying what we're all feeling."

Teen Mortgage, who have shared stages with the likes of Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins, are in the middle of a headline tour. Get tickets here. They will hit the road hard in 2026, as they are set to tour with Joyce Manor, Militarie Gun, and Combat next spring.

Teen Mortgage Drop "Below The Christmas Tree" — LISTEN // Band Partners With Skate Super Skate Posse

Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE — guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer Ed Barakauskas — are getting festive with their new holiday track "Below the Christmas Tree."

Listen below.

Of course, in typical Teen Mortgage fashion, it's ANYTHING but a typical holiday track.

"We wanted to give people a new Christmas song to throw in their rotation because the usual Christmas hits get tedious to listen to," states Guile. "The song is a satire of people's tendency to ignore the world and embrace consumerism during Christmas and the way they would continue the tradition in the face of a nuclear holocaust. But the flip side of that is that Christmas is a call for peace."

Teen Mortgage are also partnering with Super Skate Posse and the Boys and Girls Club of Baltimore to provide 50 pre-selected, area youths with new skateboards, helmets, and Converse sneakers, along with a skate demo and music performance in Baltimore.

Guile says, "We're insanely proud to offer kids a chance to be part of the skate community in Baltimore and maybe get inspired to be in a band too."

The event will take place at the Skatepark Of Baltimore, locate at 1201 W 36th Street, Baltimore, MD on Saturday, November 22 from 2 to 3pm, and will include demos from professional skaters Brian Anderson, Darren Harper, Spencer Brown, and Tony Massey, as well as a full performance from the band. 

The Super Skate Posse Givebacks partner with local organizations across America to remove the cost barrier of access to the mental health benefits of skateboarding through a one of a kind experience to underserved youth. This is the first time the event will take place in Baltimore and is sponsored by The Boys And Girls Club Of Baltimore, Converse, Good360, Lingraphica, No Expectations, Team Bonding, Vu Skateshop, JBL Audio, Polio Treading, and Primary Wave.

"It's an honor to work with Teen Mortgage to uplift the youth of Baltimore. It may not be common knowledge but lead singer, James Guile, is a lifelong skateboarder. I commend James and Edward Barakauskas for identifying a need for resources in their community and taking action," says Chris Nieratko, Executive Director, Super Skate Posse.

In addition to this special performance, the band will perform at two holiday-themed shows. The will appear at the Jingle Bell Roxy LA on December 10. Jingle Bell Rox is a 13-night concert series in partnership with Union Rescue Mission. There will be a donation drive at each show to support those in need this season.

The band will also perform at Blissmas 25 with Better Lovers, Glassjaw, Saves the Day, Terror, Onyx, Haywire 617, Koyo, and Johnny Booth on December 13.

Teen Mortgage Partner With Revolver to Premiere "Disappear" — WATCH // Band Touring This Fall + Next Spring

Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE — guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer Ed Barakauskas — have teamed up with Revolver to premiere the lyric video for gloriously discordant, grimy punk new single "DISAPPEAR."

Watch and listen Below.

"'Disappear' was inspired by The Almanac Singers 'I Don't Want Your Millions Mister,'" Guile states. "The subject matter is as relevant now as it was back then. Soulless technology barons continue to bring about a second gilded age for the USA. History shows us this type of feudalism goes hand in hand with fascist control. We present a very easy solution: These fascists must disappear." 

"Disappear" is featured on the band's debut album DEVIL ULTRASONIC DREAM, out now via Roadrunner Records. Get it here.
