Twisted Teens Announce Second Album of 2026, Share “Florida Water Blues”

Twisted Teens are moving fast. The New Orleans duo of Caspian Hollywell and RJ Santos have announced a new album, Florida Water Blues, out July 10 via Going Underground. It is their second full-length of the year, following Blame the Clown in February, and their third overall.

The title track is out now, accompanied by a video directed by Jack Massuci that casts two punk rapscallions in a blur of sun-stroked irreverence. The record spans 13 songs, with titles like “Swamp,” “Guided Thunder,” and “Javelina” mapping a landscape somewhere between bayou country and blown-out garage.

Hollywell’s self-description leans into the absurd: “The Kinks of living in a school bus with no wheels on it. The Rolling Stones of Jungian anarchism. The Buzzcocks of the poisoned bogs of south Louisiana. Punk inflected country music, or country inflected punk music idk.” It’s a useful frame for a band that treats genre like a suggestion and wears its dry humor openly.

Twisted Teens will be on the road this summer, with a longer fall run that includes dates supporting the Breeders and Kurt Vile & the Violators. The itinerary stretches from Third Man Records in Detroit to the Joy Theater at home in New Orleans.
