New Bedford, MA hardcore punk lifers A Wilhelm Scream are back at full throttle with “Let It Ride,” the blistering new single from their forthcoming sixth full-length album, Cheap Heat. The record arrives February 27th via Creator-Destructor Records, marking the band’s first LP in several years.
Cheap Heat was produced and mixed by guitarist and vocalist Trevor Reilly at the band’s hometown Anchor End Studio, with mastering handled by his father Joe Reilly at Black & Blue Mastering.
The album also introduces Ben Murray (Light This City, Heartsounds, Darkness Everywhere) as the band’s newest second guitarist, joining longtime members vocalist Nuno Pereira, vocalist and guitarist Trevor Reilly, drummer Nicholas Angelini, and bassist Brian Robinson. Additional group vocals come from Jon Teves, Sean O’Brien, and the band.
Directed by Mike Rivkees, the video for “Let It Ride” matches the song’s raw momentum and unapologetic swagger.
Reilly describes the track as a no-brakes anthem built for movement: “East Coast grime meets West Coast shine. A tale about embracing your inner villain and just saying fuck it. Let It Ride. Hop in the whip and blast this shit.”
Pereira echoes that sentiment, calling the song an instant adrenaline shot: “Coming out the gate hot as fuck! It has swagger, cathartic grit, and a breakneck bop that gives ‘Epic Summertime Adventure Soundtrack’ vibes. Turn this shit up LOUD. Learn every word. Because this one’s gonna’ be an instant classic!”
Pre-orders are available here and here on Bandcamp.
