The Dead Krazukies Revisit “1997” On New Single & Video

1997 is a high-energy punk rock anthem from French melodic hardcore band The Dead Krazukies, the track is a loud, heartfelt throwback to a time when life was simple, reckless and felt like it would last forever. Built around skate culture, basement shows and teenage invincibility, 1997 plays like a time capsule of the late ’90s. But beneath the speed and singalong hooks lies a bittersweet realization: those days are gone. 1997 is taken from their upcoming fourth album, Cipher, that will be released on the 24th June via SBÄM Records.

1997 captures that exact moment when nostalgia hits, when you wish you could tell your younger self to slow down and hold on a little longer. Fast, raw and undeniably catchy, it blends urgency with emotion in a way that feels both personal and universal. For fans of Sum 41, Rise Against and Pennywise, it’s a reminder of where it all started, and how quickly it all disappears.
