General Chaos Get “Busted” On New Single & Video

Montreal’s sixteen-year-old punk trio General Chaos have come out swinging with Busted, the lead single from their upcoming second full length, Can’t Please ‘Em All, that is due out on May 8th via Stomp Records. Fast, hook-heavy, and built on tight downstrokes and a chant-ready chorus, Busted lands somewhere between Rancid‘s street-level punch, Descendents‘ urgency, early Green Day snap, and the political edge of Propagandhi. It is two-to-three-minute burner territory with bass pushed forward, drums locked in, and guitars kept lean and direct. Lyrically, the track captures the tension between independence and consequence. It is about saying what you mean, taking the hit, and moving anyway. No polish. No irony layer. Just clarity and pace.

Formed in 2022 at just twelve years old, General Chaos grew up fast inside Montreal’s deep punk ecosystem. From early sets at Pouzza Fest to all-ages rooms across Québec and Ontario, they built momentum through live energy rather than novelty. Their debut album Outta My Way proved they were not a youth curiosity. They were a band. With Can’t Please ‘Em All, they level up. Recorded in three days at Le Stuzzio with Ryan Battistuzzi and produced by Fred Jacques (The Sainte Catherines), the album captures the immediacy of a live room without sanding off the edges.
