CKY have released a stream of their new track titled Head For A Breakdown.

It’s taken from the band’s upcoming record The Phoenix which will launch on June 16 via eOne Music.

It follows the video for Days Of Self Destruction, which featured a guest appearance from Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds, and Replaceable, the first track from the record.

Guitarist and vocalist Chad I Ginsburg tells Consequence Of Sound: “Head for a Breakdown seemed to write itself. In a sense, it’s a song about taking things too far when you darn right know it won’t end well but you do it anyway. Go figure.

“The mid solo section is an epic break unlike any we have done in the past. Very proud of this song.”

CKY have live dates planned throughout the summer, including shows on the Vans Warped Tour. Find a full list of their shows below.
