Dead Flowers’ fourth album, Let’s Get Angry, won’t be out until Jan. 11, but we have an exclusive premiere of the first single, “We Aren’t Satisfied.” As evidenced here, the band continues its punky style from the previous album, Let Me Be.
The song won’t be available to stream everywhere until Friday, Oct. 12. But you can watch the video here, stream it on SoundCloud and can even save it to Spotify here.

“It has a brief political undertone to it, which we’ve never really done before,” he adds. “But it’s kinda hard not to be a little political these days.”
The song sets the tone for the whole album, which was recorded at Century Recordings in Dripping Springs.
“This song and record as a whole is kind of that kick in the ass, so to speak, to stop complaining about your life if you’re not willing to fix it, or the lives of those around you,” Howe says.
