Watch Twisted Teens Play in Trash in New “Stalks” Video

The New Orleans punks are gearing up to release their third album of the year next month By Nina Corcoran October 7, 2026 Save this story Save this story

If anyone’s calling Twisted Teens rubbish, then they’ve just been proven right — sort of. The New Orleans punks have shared “Stalks,” a new song from The Holy Cross Tigers , and its accompanying music video in which they dress up in garbage cans, modify soda cans as hair rollers, and turn trash bags into bonnets, all while performing the track in the style of a TV show set. Watch the Mama Hot Dog -directed visual below.

The Holy Cross Tigers will mark Twisted Teens’ third album of the year and their debut on Sub Pop after publicly signing with the storied label this summer. It’s out November 6 and includes the previous single “ When We First Met .” The album follows January’s Blame the Clown , July’s Florida Water Blues , and their 2024 debut self-titled LP.

Singer-guitarist Caspian Hollywell, console steel guitar player RJ Santos, and the rest of the band are on tour the rest of this year. That run includes over a dozen shows opening for Kurt Vile and the Violators, as well as their own headlining leg in Australia.
