The Eradicats Address Eating Disorders On New Single “I Ate A Sandwich”

Kansas City bubble-grunge quartet The Eradicats have released their new single, I Ate a Sandwich, that is a heartfelt and deeply personal track that reveals a more vulnerable side of the band while maintaining the catchy hooks and playful spirit that define their sound. Known for their witty humor and unconventional subject matter, from overeager friendship pursuits to legendary stunt horses, The Eradicats have built a reputation for turning life’s oddities into infectious punk songs. But with I Ate a Sandwich” the band takes a more intimate approach. The song tells the real-life story of bassist and co-vocalist Kristi’s journey through eating disorder recovery, centered around a small but monumental moment at a teaching conference lunch.

What might seem like a simple act becomes a powerful milestone in the song: eating a boxed-lunch sandwich for the first time in years without fear. Driven by bright melodies, punchy guitars, and the band’s signature mix of sincerity and humor, I Ate a Sandwich captures both the anxiety and triumph of doing something that once felt impossible, proving that pop-punk can be both goofy and deeply meaningful.
