After the recent announcement of their forthcoming album Rat Bastard, dropping July 17 2026 via Mac DeMarco’s Mac’s Record Label, Mock Media are sharing new single “Mock City Rock,” today the band are excited to share the song’s accompanying music video directed by Mohammad Sharar. Guitarist-vocalist Evan Aasen, while speaking on the song, calls it an “…anthemic rock song that defines the whole band, with our full power, inviting the audience to ‘come alive.”

Mock Media – a troupe of four childhood friends – have decided to join hands and circle around the bonfire as the surrounding scenery spirals into utter madness. The group’s newest recording chapter Rat Bastard – out Friday, July 17 via Mac’s Record Label – shatters the bondages of obedience, finding Evan Aasen (guitars/voice), Garnet Aronyk Muhammad (bass/voice), Austin Boylan (guitars/voice), and Bennett Smith (drums).

Says the band: “We’re constantly trying to channel that spiritual energy, and it’s hard, especially in recordings. We feel like we’ve achieved it live before, but we want to fully lose ourselves and lock in as a group. As for any specific message: we really just care about each other, and about making music together. At the end of the day, it’s us singing and us playing together… and that’s all we really know how to do.”
