Announced as part of the Hopeless/Fat Wreck merger, Bad Cop Bad Cop returns with a new album this year. Lighten Up will come out on Sept. 19 via Fat Wreck (now owned by Hopeless).

The band shared the lead single recently, “All Together Now.”

"This record really means the world to me. It is the first time we got to do everything we wanted. We trusted ourselves to make something we love with people we love and who love us back,"  Stacey Dee says of its upcoming release.
