Edmonton’s pop-punk powerhouse Real Sickies return with their fifth full-length album, Under a Plastic Bag, set for release on March 14, 2025, through Stomp Records. Known for their relentless touring and infectious melodies, the band channels the spirit of punk’s golden age with a fresh and approachable modern twist. Even Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day has hailed Real Sickies as his favorite Canadian punk band, cementing their status as a standout act in the global punk scene. The album’s focus track, “Wild Imagination,” comes with an accompanying video created by Jesse Nash and a backstory as unique as its sound. Ben explains, “The song sounds dirty, but it’s all about fossils. I got really into fossil hunting, especially petrified wood, and spent days walking through a creek in Edmonton, soaking my feet and humming this tune. The lyrics came together in trickles. It’s quirky, it’s personal, and it’s very much a part of the journey this album represents.”
