Beloved Punk/Emo/Post-hardcore O.G.'s SAMIAM have now signed to Pure Noise Records and are actively working on what will be their first new album since 2011's Trips released on Hopeless Records. Along with the announcement of their signing, SAMIAM have just released their first new single in over a decade, "Lights Out Little Hustler." It features Chris Wollard (Hot Water Music, Ship Thieves, Rumbleseat) and it sounds like a classic revved-up rockin' SAMIAM jam. Vocalist Jason Beebout says, "'Lights Out Little Hustler" is about becoming emotionally detached and creating obstacles to keep people from being close to you. Wanting to be loved, but forgetting how to show it. Knowing that what you have is important, but too afraid to let it be." Check it out an accompanying motion video below.


SAMIAM is, also, playing Atlantic City's inaugural Frantic City Festival this upcoming weekend, alongside The Bouncing Souls, CONTROL TOP, Murder City Devils, Protomartyr, Rocket from The Crypt, Shannon & The Clams,Snail Mail, Superchunk, Titus Andronicus, and Yo La Tengo. SAMIAM are playing The Fest 2022 in Gainesville, Florida to be held between October 28-30th and they're touring Europe & The UK with Hot Water Music, Boysetsfire, and BE WELL through October. Hot Water Music's Chris Wollard is additionally a member of Gainsville's own Ship Thieves with SAMIAM bassist Chad "Malibu" Darby. SAMIAM guitarist Sergie Loobkoff's other band, Ways Away—with members of Boysetsfire, Paint It Black, The Hope Conspiracy, and Stick to Your Guns—are gearing up to unleash their sophomore album, Torch Songs, 10/14 on Other People Records. SAMIAM's "Lights Out Little Hustler" is now available on stremaing services and stay tuned for additional details concerning their Pure Nosie Records debut. There's a "Lights Out Little Hustler" T-shirt available from Pure Noise, as well.
