If you’ve missed earlier posts about this, I’m playing a show with @continuals_dc TOMORROW (Saturday 4/18, see 2nd slide for details) and I would genuinely love to see you there. It’s with @blood_family_reunion_band ; they are amazing. We are going to be playing songs off of our new record. The new record will also be available at the show. I’m planning on bringing some snacks. I really hope to see you there 🙏🙏 💿 💙
This Saturday! April 18th, Washington Waldorf School, all ages, $10, doors at 7, music at 8. Come join us to celebrate the release of our second album, “Never Sleep.” We can’t wait!
We are so psyched to play this show with @blood_family_reunion_band . If you haven’t yet been to this space at the Washington Waldorf School, know that it is everything we love about punk rock: all-ages, safe, accessible, cool. We’ll see you there. We can’t wait.
It’s official: our second album “Never Sleep” is out! It’s streaming on all the platforms. You can order it on vinyl at our Bandcamp page (link in bio) in case your friendly neighborhood independent record store does not have a copy in stock (and if they don’t, tell them they should).
Big thanks to our loved ones — families, friends, bands we’ve played with and admire, gig-goers, practice space providers, and YOU.
Continuals “Never Sleep.” Thirteen songs about enchantment, drab machines, strong lungs, beleaguered exes, secret cats, endless piles of trash, zombie squad goals, and other real-life shit.
The album will be released on 03/20/2026. Link for preorders in bio! Pressing is limited to 500 copies. While supplies last, orders come with a 2-color screenprint (11”x11” and then 8.5”x8.5”) signed and numbered by @ryancarrollnelson !
These songs were recorded in May, 2025 by @jrobbinsofficial at @magpiecage in Baltimore MD. Mastered by Dan Coutant at @srmastering . Pressed at @furnacemfg .
We’re so excited to share this new music with you! @missmellieq (vocals, keyboards), @ryancarrollnelson (vocals, guitar), @michaelhonch (bass), and @454zentek (drums). Plus the brilliant @lucifer.z (violin) joins us for one song and we are psyched.
Our second album is done and we are so psyched to share it with you. More details soon. We’re also psyched for this all-ages show to celebrate the release. Join us and @blood_family_reunion_band on 04/18!
Continuals went on a small tour last week, and I was hoping to post a tour-diary of sorts while we were on the road, but let’s face it… I’m not great at social media stuff. Certainly not fast about making posts. So this is late, but if you’re interested in some details from the road, read on.
The accompanying video features a lot of footage from the daily video-messages I sent to my sons, so if you’re wondering why there are so many close-ups of my face, well, that’s why. The song ("Second Floor Tom") is one from the new album we’re hoping to release this March. Test pressings just came in, and I’ll post more information about that as things unfold. Okay… for day-by-day tour details, I’ll post everything in the comments.
Thank you to all the photographers, videographers, @pohgohfl , @samuel.sc.theband , so many friends, bands, venues, etc. We had a wonderful time out on the road. Let’s do it again.

Twelve posts to cover one weekend seems like a lot. Like I said, this is as much my external memory as it is shared joy.
With that, here’s the perfect ending to a perfect weekend.
1-9 @samuel.sc.theband for the 5th time since Reunion Summer in August, 2024
10-13 @continuals_dc with exactly the same stat
14-15 @wrongplacescle opening for Samuel at Happy Dog for the second time
16 @nonbruises for the first, but not the last time
17-19 @happydogcleveland with the @punkthecapital poster on the door since the 2019 screening
20 That crazy sky we saw while driving I-80 through what I’ve learned was Delta, Ohio. Apparently, it’s the reflection of led lights, used by huge greenhouses, off of low clouds.
Hell of a weekend
Let’s do it again sometime.
