Twisted Teens are going three for three in 2026. The New Orleans duo of Caspian Hollywell and RJ Santos have announced their new album, The Holy Cross Tigers, will come out November 6 via Sub Pop, marking their debut LP for the label after publicly signing last month. The lead single, “When We First Met,” comes with a music video directed by Anthony Simpkins, in which Twisted Teens strap up for a medieval brawl. Check it out below.

The Holy Cross Tigers is the band’s third album this year—following Blame the Clown, released on Chain Smoking Records in January, and Florida Water Blues, which came out on Going Underground in July—and their fourth album overall.

Twisted Teens are still on the road in support of their nonstop music. The band has over a dozen concerts left opening for Kurt Vile and the Violators, followed by a headlining tour through Australia in December.
