Following the success of their singles \u201cHarlem\u201d and \u201cTonight You\u2019re Perfect,\u201d the trio has recently announced their partnership with DCD2 and Warner Bros., Records, which will house their third full-length album, <em>Vikings<\/em>. While fans will have to wait until early 2015 for the album\u2019s release, they can enjoy the album\u2019s newly released single right now. \u201cEverywhere I Go (Kings and Queens),\u201d has been climbing the charts and feeling the love from listeners all across the country.<\/p>\n<p>New Politics describes the song as \u201ca middle finger punk-rock-pogo anthem\u201d and that description could not be more accurate. The lyrics clear up any remaining doubts, brazenly announcing \u201cThis one\u2019s for everyone that said I\u2019m nothing. This one\u2019s for my friends that don\u2019t give a fuck. So if you don\u2019t give a fuck sing: everywhere I go, I\u2019m higher than United \u2013 fly with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You cannot help but nod your head to this song, tap your foot, maybe get out of your chair and dance around the room a little. You may feel the need to toss papers off your desk, knock a book of the shelf, smash a vase on the ground. Okay that might be drastic, but it\u2019s just that type of song. \u201cEverywhere I Go\u201d is the ultimate amp up song, declaring that we are the \u201ckings and queens, and we run this city.\u201d This song is a reminder that we are in control, no matter how hard life gets. You can go fly with New Politics, or you can jam out to this song and let your inner punk rocker free.<\/p>\n<p>While listening to this song, a few dozen times in a row, I was transported back to the days of Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater, a PlayStation game I spent countless hours on some odd fourteen years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that New Politics teamed up with pro-skater Ben Hatchell to film the single\u2019s video. I\u2019m eagerly awaiting the video\u2019s release, and I hope that it\u2019ll be a real life version of the game, tail grabs and kickflips included.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/66_8H-tUruU\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If the nostalgia wasn\u2019t already there with the Pro Skater vibes, the echoes of previous punk legends are enough to send any fan spiraling. The song\u2019s guitar riffs, drum beats and energetic vocals have a strong resemblance to Blink-182, while the lyric \u201ceverybody knows there\u2019s no sleep \u2018till Brooklyn\u201d is an obvious nod to the Beastie Boys. New Politics are aligning themselves with past champions, and securing their own spot in pop-punk\/punk-rock history.<\/p>\n<p>Until the release of the video and the upcoming album, I\u2019ll be listening to \u201cEverywhere I Go\u201d on repeat. I\u2019ll have to fight the urge to dig out my old PlayStation, but I will gladly embrace the song\u2019s take-charge attitude. The song honestly admits, \u201ceverybody\u2019s gotta get by,\u201d and New Politics makes it just a bit easier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #444444;\">Allison Bohan is an associate editor at Gadfly Online.
