Western Addiction are back with new single, “The Diamond,” the track is off their forthcoming album Psychedelic Munitions, available May 22, 2026 via Hopeless Records. Rooted deeply in the storied San Francisco punk community, Western Addiction have long been a unique presence in modern hardcore. Formed by employees of Fat Wreck Chords, the band emerged from inside one of punk’s most influential labels and quickly carved out their own identity in the scene.

Western Addiction on Psychedelic Munitions

“We wanted to take a shot at making a real stomper in the spirit of AC/DC. I was watching some videos of them playing small theaters in the 70s and they were just incredible, a real “band.” This song is about Bon Scott. He was a glowing figure, a one-of-a-kind showman. It’s tough to compete with Angus, but Bon was a special creature and deserves the shine. The video spans from Scotland (the birthplace of members) to Australia (the country for which they’re known).
