The Men will release their new full-length Buyer Beware on February 28th 2025 via Fuzz Club (A Place To Bury Strangers, The Jesus and Mary Chain). Ahead of the album’s arrival, the NYC band are sharing the lead single and opening track “Pony.” Talking about “Pony”, The Men’s Mark Perro says: “This one picked up the name Pony cuz it felt a little sugary and sweet. It was one of those things that just came out when we talked about the song and it stuck. I’m really happy with the fuzz tones we got on here, and the harmony vocals from Nick [Chiericozzi] and Jess [Poplawski] take this to another level. Lyrically, it’s about that transitional moment – when the
jig is up.”

Buyer Beware marks The Men’s fifth collaboration with recording engineer Travis Harrison (Guided by Voices, Built to Spill)—six if you include Harrison’s mastering on last year’s Manhattan Fire.

Buyer Beware finds The Men tackling questions both personal and political, imploring themselves and listeners to take a long hard look in the mirror and at their surroundings. “The world’s on fire, what did you expect?” asks “Tombstone,” before fatalistically announcing in the chorus, “I don’t care / Don’t care for time / Time’s as far / As a man can draw a line.” And the titular “Buyer Beware” is an autobiographical song describing the devil’s bargain of the artist’s journey, the urge to create and the never-ending chase of inspiration. “The muse got a lot to say / I like it that way / And if we should ever meet / My life would be complete / It’s her I serve / As I hang on my last nerve / You got to roll / You got to writhe / To miss the swing / Of the scythe”
