Southern California skate punk band Chaser are back with a new 7-inch called Gonna Be Alright, due out May 29th. The two-song release features a punked-up take on Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds” and a reworked version of the band’s older track “My Promise.” Pre-save Three Little Birds.

The first single, “Three Little Birds,” drops May 22 and sounds like exactly what you’d expect from Chaser covering Marley. Bassist Jesse Stopnitzky said the song has personal meaning for him since it was the first song he sang to his son in the hospital. Instead of completely overhauling the track, the band wanted to keep the hopeful message intact while giving it their usual melodic skate punk energy. Honestly, the world could probably use a few more “everything’s gonna be alright” songs right now.

The second track, “My Promise,” originally appeared as an acoustic song on the band’s 2010 album The Big Picture.

The release was recorded and mixed by Paul Miner at Buzzbomb Studios in Orange County, and the artwork comes from punk scene artists Mark De Salvo and Samuel Lucas.

CHASER will also be hitting the road this summer with dates across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Vinyl copies of Gonna Be Alright will only be available at shows, which means Discogs flippers are probably already getting ready.
