American Sharks is a three-piece band hailing from Austin, TX. Their punk-metal hybrid sound blends pop hooks with blasting-yer-face riffs resulting in something akin to if Weezer went Stoner Rock. Coupled with hook-laden singalong lyrics, American Sharks’ forthcoming 2026 album, Not Dead Yet, is a, uh, breathtaking return.
Since the release of their 2013 self-titled debut album, American Sharks has toured extensively supporting the likes of GWAR, Clutch, The Sword, Red Fang, Big Business, Corrosion of Conformity, and many others. After touring to support their debut album on The End Records, American Sharks took time off to write and record their self-produced follow up album, 11:11, on BMG. After a 5-year lull, American Sharks are back with 9-fast paced, pummeling tracks.
Not Dead Yet will be available on LP and download on April 17, 2026 via Permanent Teeth.
