Chicago, IL based punk group The Eradicator has announced its third, and final, album this fall. Playing an anthemic hardcore meets melodic punk blend, the band draws its inspiration from a timeless Kids In The Hall sketch about squash (the sport).

The band will release its final album, Forever The Eradicator, this October via Stonewalled label.
