San Diego, CA psych rock/baggy/britpop five-piece Pleasure Pill have announced the release of their debut studio album ‘Hang A Star‘.
The announcement comes with the release of lead single “Line Up The Stars” and its accompanying video. The record will be out on June 27 via à La Carte Records. Pre-order your copy here.
UPDATE 4/1/2025: “Line Up The Stars” is our new Single of the Week!
Pleasure Pill are officially stepping into the spotlight. Over the past few years, the group, made up of Jonah Paz (vocals), Ethan Paz (rhythm guitar), Luke Blake (lead guitar), Ivan Delgado (bass), and Dom Friedly (drums), have cultivated a reputation as fervent revivalists of a certain British rock and roll lineage: the rattling, amphetamine-laced energy of The Kinks, the sharp hooks of The Undertones, the slick urbanity of The Style Council, and the hypnotic pulse of Primal Scream. Now, they’re taking that vision full-scale.
“Hang a Star” is a shot of pure, electric nostalgia—tight, timeless, and wired with a modern charge. The five-piece distill decades of British rock cool into something urgent and undeniably their own. The Kinks’ frenetic stomp, Primal Scream’s narcotic pulse, The Undertones’ melodic punch—it’s all here, refracted through a fresh, youthful lens.
