Frankie and the Witch Fingers are back to melt faces and minds. Their new single “Total Reset” is a glitchy, synth-punk detonation straight from the scorched earth of their upcoming album, Trash Classic, out June 6 via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records. A grimy lyric video arrives with the track—equal parts doomsday ad and dance-floor delirium.

Described by the band as “a tech product launch for the post-human era,” “Total Reset” was allegedly written by AI—a tongue-in-cheek jab at artificial creativity that ironically rips harder than most human-made singles. And fans can relive the chaos when the band’s explosive KEXP in-store session goes live on YouTube April 11, with a limited “Reactor Breach” vinyl edition dropping the next day for Record Store Day 2025.

Trash Classic marks a feral mutation for the band—twisting punk, new wave, and industrial sludge into something volatile and hyper-charged. Produced by Maryam Qudus (La Luz, Spacemoth), the album was forged in the gritty shadows of Vernon and alchemized in Oakland’s Tiny Telephone Studio—filled with sugar binges, cartoon soundtracks, and experimental madness.

Following their acclaimed 2023 record Data Doom, and a year of global praise and sold-out shows, Frankie and the Witch Fingers are ready to ignite again with a run of their biggest tour dates yet.
