Mean Jeans have unleased a new single called "Party Line" as a teaser of their upcoming new album titled Gigantic Sike.

Gigantic Sike features 11 new songs in total and releases on August 30 on Fat Wreck Chords. Give a listen to the single after the bump.

"These songs are fun and fast, but at their core, they're about the bleak existence of a party boy," guitarist/vocalist Billy Jeans says, offering insight about the new material. "All of my favorite Mean Jeans songs have an element of sadness, cynicism, or darkness to them. They're dumb, but there's honesty in the lyrics."

Gigantic Sike will be the band's fourth full-length release.
