Twisted Teens are going three for three in 2026. The New Orleans duo of Caspian Hollywell and RJ Santos have announced their new album, The Holy Cross Tigers , will come out November 6 via Sub Pop , marking their debut LP for the label after publicly signing last month.
The lead single, “When We First Met,” comes with a music video directed by Anthony Simpkins, in which Twisted Teens strap up for a medieval brawl. Check it out below.
The Holy Cross Tigers is Twisted Teens’ third album this year—following Blame the Clown , released on Chain Smoking Records in January, and Florida Water Blues , which came out on Going Underground in July—and their fourth album overall.
Twisted Teens are still on the road in support of their nonstop music. The band has over a dozen concerts left opening for Kurt Vile and the Violators, followed by a headlining tour through Australia in December.
