Loud punk 'n ' roll band Moral Panic is back, bring us Validation, a full-length collection to release on Sept. 9 via Reptilian Records (USA) and Alien Snatch (EU).

The title track can be heard now at either of the preorder links above. Following the release of White Knuckles EP, the lineup features founding member Daniel Kelley, plus a rhythm section of Michael Dimmitt and Eric Robel both of whom joined the lineup in 2019.

"Our goal was to be a bit less lo-fi and get more of a big, loud, noisy, pissed sound! I don't really think that the influences have changed much, but the rhythm section is definitely stronger and has evolved the band into a bigger sound," Kelley says of the new record, which was recorded by Joe Hogan (Ronnie Spector, Murphy's Law) and mixed by Jeff Burke of Radioactivity/The Marked Men.
