Stoke Signals Drop “Rockville Winters Build Character” From Upcoming “Making Enemies” EP

Los Angeles melodic Punks Stoke Signals will return October 31st with Making Enemies, a four-song EP that captures the band’s loudest, rawest, and most collaborative work to date. The release arrives via Hey! Fever Records and follows their 2024 debut album, Make Dying Fun. Stoke Signals have also dropped the EP’s lead single and video, Rockville Winters Build Character, which is an anthem for overlooked blue collar underdogs. The track sets the tone for the record, harder, louder, and more melodic than anything the band has released before.

On their upcoming EP Stoke Signals leaned fully into their DIY roots, self-recording in their Culver City lockout space with amps dimed, drum mics aimed at a toilet for reverb, and gang vocals shouted behind bathroom doors. The chaos was later mastered by Paul Miner preserving the sweat-drenched live energy that’s quickly becoming their signature.
