On Friday, Chicago pop-punk group Counterpunch released a new single online, "Waiting In The Wings," via Thousand Islands Records/SBÄM Records. The new single is about speaking truth to power, the band says, focusing on moral compass instead of messaging. The band says it is a taste of more to come, with a full-length expected later this year., produced by Chris Fogal and the band itself.
