Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol announce Big Dumb Fest IV, launch CA$H GRAB headlining North American tour April 16th

"I guarantee you, it will be jammed firmly in your head for days on end." -- Metal Injection

“An instant earworm.” — Metal Sucks

“As ridiculously awesome as their big, dumb moniker would imply… churning out lumbering cascades of clobbering, trucker hat riffage that toe a slobbery line between Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Pantera and ZZ Top.” – Decibel Magazine

"Epically catchy... Imagine the ear-wormy fuzz-rock riffage of Dinosaur Jr. if it was played on an eight-string guitar with super heavy low-end." -- Revolver Magazine

Austin trio Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol today announce their fourth annual festival, BIG DUMB FEST IV will take place on May 30th, 2026 in Austin, TX. Tickets for the event go on sale Friday, April 17th at 10am Central Time HERE. Full lineup, food vendors and details follow below.

American Sharks share new single "Flowers for The Dead" from album out next week, North American tour with RBBP starts 4/16

"A frenetic blast of scuzzy, fuzzy rock 'n' roll that's full of raucous, riotous energy." — Kerrang!

"Puts Motorhead's rhythm section, The Stooges' raw power, and Black Sabbath's evil melodies in a blender. For a more modern comparison, it also sounds a bit like Mutoid Man." — Brooklyn Vegan

"A little bit stoner, a little bit punk, a lot a bit fuzz, it is just the right mixture to create that delicious blend of awesomeness." — Nerdist

Austin trio American Sharks release a new single today, "Flowers for The Dead" via Bandcamp exclusive with New Noise Magazine HERE (Bandcamp HERE). The track is culled from their forthcoming first new album in 6 years, Not Dead Yet. 

American Sharks also host an exclusive first listen of the album on Monday, April 13th via Bandcamp Listening Party. RSVP to join HERE.

Previous single, "Bang Yer Head" plus two more is available to hear and share on all DSPs HERE. 

American Sharks are main support on the upcoming full U.S. tour dates with Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol beginning on April 16th. Please see all dates below. Tickets for all shows are available HERE. 

American Sharks is a three-piece band hailing from Austin, TX. Their punk-metal hybrid sound blends pop hooks with blasting-yer-face riffs resulting in something akin to if Weezer went Stoner Rock. Coupled with hook-laden singalong lyrics, American Sharks’ forthcoming 2026 album Not Dead Yet is, well, a breathtaking return. 

The band is joined on the album by special guest guitar soloists: Mike Derks (GWAR), Zach Blair (Rise Against), Kyle Shutt (The Sword), David Sullivan (Red Fang), and Leo Lydon (Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol). 

Since the release of their 2013 self-titled debut album, American Sharks has toured extensively supporting the likes of GWAR, Clutch, The Sword, Red Fang, Big Business, Corrosion of Conformity and many others. After touring to support their debut album on The End Records, American Sharks took time off to write and record their self-produced follow up album, 11:11 on BMG. After a 5 year break, American Sharks are back (centered around founders, vocalist/bassist Roky Moon and drummer Nick Cornetti) with 9 fast-paced, pummeling tracks. 

Not Dead Yet will be available on LP, CD and download on April 17th, 2026 via Permanent Teeth. Pre-orders are available HERE.
