“The hardest working punk rocker in show business,” Mikey Erg, is releasing his first true solo effort, “Tentative Decisions”, set to drop June 24 via Don Giovanni Records. You can now listen to “Apart Time”, another teaser from the upcoming album.

“Apart Time” is a perfect snippet of what fans can expect from this album: he stays close to pop-punk roots, combining a driving punk track with lyrics about the sting of heartbreak to create something that’s painful, relatable, and catchy as hell. The track also features the record’s producer Jeff Rosenstock on guitar and synths and backing vocals by Hiccup’s Alex Clute.
 
One of his “favorite songs on the record,” Mikey says, “It’s one of those tunes that just popped out. Like, it was written in the time it took to play it. Those usually end up being my favorites.”
