Contemporary punk band Samuel S.C. delivers its second single of 2026, the J. Robbins-produced “Push The Needle.”
“The scary thing came when I had to play it to people because until now, it’s what’s been in my head. Once you put it out into the public arena and if you get laughed at it’s all on you. Whereas if Ride put stuff out and it gets laughed at, it’s the four of us. So, it was quite nervy.” – Steve Queralt
