Michael Cormier-O'Leary Announces New Album: Hear “Newest Oldest Punk”


Michael Cormier-O’Leary — the Philadelphia musician who plays in Friendship and Hour and helps run Dear Life Records — has announced a new full-length album under his own name, Anything Can Be Left Behind, the follow-up to his 2021 album More Light!! He recorded the new one with some friends at a house in Massachusetts coastal town of Westport around this time last year. Today, Cormier-O’Leary is sharing the rootsy, relatable lead single “Newest Oldest Punk,” which is about growing up and trying to stay young in the music scene. “Can I bum one while this band’s on? Maybe one more to go?” he sings. “They sound kinda good/ I’d be in there if I could.” Check it out below.
