Real Sickies Drop “Triage” Single & Announce New Album “Under A Plastic Bag”

Edmonton, AB’s Pop Punk powerhouse Real Sickies are set to release their fifth full-length album, Under A Plastic Bag, on March 14th via Stomp Records. The album’s first advance single, Triage, is out now, offering an electrifying glimpse into the band’s knack for blending raw punk energy with sharp, melodic hooks. Known for their relentless touring and infectious anthems, Real Sickies have cemented their status as a standout act in the global punk scene, with even Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong calling them his favorite Canadian punk band.

Triage embodies the chaos and resilience central to the band and their new album. Inspired by a harrowing car accident Ben Disaster and his family survived after returning from a European tour, the track reflects a surreal mix of panic and perseverance. After their car flipped on black ice, Ben and his wife emerged unharmed, finding their dogs casually on the highway. This experience fueled the song, which took shape under producer Joshua Wells. The accompanying video, directed by Jesse Nash, adds frenetic creativity with miniature models handcrafted by Ben, including a matchstick airplane and a glitter-covered Titanic.
