LOS ANGELES, CA — Genre-defying artist Petey USA unveils his new single, “The Yips” out now via Capitol Records – the title track from his forthcoming album set to be released on July 11th. The song and the album explore themes of performance anxiety, self-doubt, and the personal struggles faced by many beyond the playing field channeling raw vulnerability through gliding alt-rock rhythms. The visualizer showcases the relatable reality that without others noticing from the outside, someone can be struggling with their internal thoughts on the inside while feeling obligated to continue to move through the motions of their everyday life.

Over the next few weeks as he is gearing up for his new album release, Petey USA will launch the project by doing album release shows with special guests in major cities such as Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY. He will also support Rainbow Kitten Surprise on several East Coast dates in July and open for Zach Bryan on August 30 at Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, WV. See dates below and more information on the upcoming shows can be found HERE.

Michigan-bred and Los Angeles-based, Petey USA evolved his signature sound following influence from early-2010s Midwest emo trenches. He introduced himself on Lean Into Life as a DIY musical omnivore updating his Warped Tour influences with healthy doses of Modest Mousey indie-rock, dancefloor-ready synth-pop, glitchy textures, and even a touch of country. He also demonstrated a preternatural gift for impassioned, self-deprecating storytelling, leavened by a sardonic sense of humor. USA, his sophomore album, followed in 2023, and was hailed as “one of the most stirring rock releases of the year” by Paste. Now, his upcoming album The Yips is set to be Petey USA’s most eclectic and ambitious work yet - and also his most relatable. At the end of the day, he says, “I’m just singing about being there for your friends.”
