It’s a happy Wednesday because we’ve got new music from American Steel! Their new song is called “Long Day (Acoustic)” and it’s a B-side to the “Rotting” single that will be released on Friday, February 27. Their self-titled album is out on Red Scare on March 20, 2026. Red Scare had this to say about the upcoming release:
We got so excited about working with American Steel that we had to drop a “Digital 45” teaser to fan the flames. (That’s also a nod to their hometown of Oakland—very famous for fires.) In addition to their blistering “Rotting” single from 1998, we somehow convinced the band to go into the studio and add a B-side. As massive fans, a NEW AmSteel song is a major coup for us, and we know you’ll appreciate this bonus track too.
Check out the new single and video below before anyone else.
Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or much more recently, we thought it was the perfect time to give this old friend an acoustic makeover. Stoked to see you at the upcoming California shows!
Go see a show!
