Bangalore Choir will release their new studio album “Payload” on November 6, 2026. It’s the band’s sixth studio album! It’s coming out on El Puerto Records.
Below you can check out the first single (and video) from the album, Tear It All Down.
Bangalore Choir formed in the US in 1992 and hit cult status pretty fast, before a little band called Nirvana turned the American market upside down and knocked these rising stars (among many others) right off their pedestal.
Since day one, Bangalore Choir have stood for easygoing living and the joy of being alive – exactly the stuff we keep forgetting about these days. The cover of the new album is also done in the band’s trademark style, which shows they’re flirting with the era of the “On Target” album.
The result is 12 songs written by David Reece, Tommy McWilliams and Steve Gordon MIA (except track 7, »Breakdown Unforgettable«, written by David Reece and Andy Susemihl). The album invites you on a convertible ride, with everything that comes along with it.
The album was mixed and mastered by Riccardo Demarosi and Steve Gordon!
If we’re to believe the documentary »Nöthin’ But a Good Time« on Paramount+, Bangalore Choir are probably the last big band from the golden days of the Sunset Strip, the scene that gave us the likes of Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses and Poison. Despite all the scandals that eventually brought that musical era to an end, many still remember the days when the heart of heavy metal beat in Los Angeles.
