The Living End have revealed details of their ninth studio album ‘I Only Trust Rock n Roll’, coming within two days of exactly seven years since the previous album ‘Wunderbar’.
The Living End have been drip feeding us new songs in 2025. ‘Alfie’ and ‘Strange Place’ were the first wto singles and now check out the third track, the title track from the album.
Chris Cheney describes this new album as minimal. Chris said, “We did not want to make a big, over-the-top record with a hundred parts. We’ve made those records. This one had to sound like a slick machine. Trim the fat. Yeah, there are those harmonies and extra guitar bits. But a big part of the writing was knowing what a song didn’t need.”

Andy Strachan describes the gigs as a workout. “The best gigs are when we come off completely rooted. We leave nothing behind,” Strachan says. Scott Owen adds, “We’ve been through a lot together, and we’ve learned when to get out of each other’s way. At the end of the day, it’s about three guys, plugged in, going for it. No tricks. Songs that hit hard and mean something.”
