Based on San Diego and Temecula, CA, pop-punk band Strike Twelve shared a new song today, "Smart Phones, Stupid People," one of many new tracks on the band's newly announced new album, Last Band Standing. The record comes out on June 30 via Thousand Islands Records

"I got the inspiration for this song while sitting on the couch with several other people in the room, all of us separately staring in silence at our respective phones. 'Smart Phones, Stupid People' takes a look at the challenges we face with our ever-growing dependence on technology and reminds us that there is a real world with real people right in front of us. And, of course, we shot the whole video on our smart phones," says bassist/vocalist Joey T of the album's lead single, which should appeal to fans of turn-of-the-century pop-punk a la late Lookout Records.
