Virus Nine Rerelease “Stay Proud! Stay True! Stay Punk!” & Announce “Blastin’ Away” Reissue

Originally appearing on their 2003 album Blastin’ Away!, Virus Nine‘s Stay Proud! Stay True! Stay Punk! stands tall as a timeless Street Punk anthem. A raw and uncompromising ode to unity and defiance, the track resonated with the Punk community two decades ago and continues to ring true today. Unavailable for over twenty years, Punkerton Records is proud to bring this essential single, and the album it came from, back to the next generation of Punk fans. In an era when solidarity and community are needed more than ever, Stay Proud! Stay True! Stay Punk! returns as both a reminder of Punk’s roots and a rallying cry for its future.

Formed in southern Oregon in the mid-1990s, Virus Nine quickly carved out a reputation for their hard charging mix of Street Punk and melodic anthems. They became a staple of the West Coast Punk scene, sharing stages with genre heavyweights and earning a loyal fan base worldwide. Known for their grit, heart and commitment to DIY values, Virus Nine left an indelible mark on punk before their career was cut short, making the revival of Blastin’ Away! all the more vital. Blastin’ Away! is now available for pre-order on CD here and limited-edition color variants here via Punkerton Records ahead of it’s release on January 2nd 2026.
