New Jersey rockers Dads released “Fake Knees” off their upcoming record. “Fake Knees” is more mellow and dreamy than one might typically expect from a punk outfit, but with a powerfully emotional build the track fits well nestled into Dads’ current discography. It’s polished and thoughtful, with an unprecedented number of “coffee breath” mentions. “Fake Knees” will appear on I’ll Be the Tornado, which drops on October 14 via 6131 Records. You can stream the new song here.
