Everyone’s favorite ski masked squash aficionado is back for one more serve up the D-squash Ladder! Chicago-based Punk outfit The Eradicator have released their third and final full length, Forever The Eradicator, via Stonewalled Records. Blurring the lines between Kids In The Hall fanfiction and adaptive reality, Forever The Eradicator places the aggressive ski mask-wearing racquet-wielding musician in a restless environment confronting internal demons while combating external challengers as part of his quest to maintain dominance at the top of his local squash tournament bracket. On this third full-length, The Eradicator combines a melodic punk foundation a la bands such as Dillinger Four and Fucked Up with metallic riffs, backed by Andrew W.K. anthemics. Forever the Eradicator was written in the summer of 2020 during a tumultuous period of societal unrest and an unfamiliar withdrawal from the physical interaction of live performances.

While the band may be storing their racquets indefinitely away in their lockers, both diehard fans and newcomers will be able to tell that The Eradicator literally left it all on the court with their final release. With the first few notes of the opening track, Squash Stomp, it’s clear that this is an Eradicator album like no other while also being a culmination of their prior works. The tracks are more complex and layered than ever before and each song builds on the last while bringing something new to the release. The album even includes a cover of The Clash’s Should I Stay or Should I Go? placed as the very last track, making us all want to shout for an encore or for one final match which may never come.
