Amber Pacific To Release First Album in 11 Years via Manic Kat Records!Amber Pacific are back with their first album in 11 years. The Seattle pop-punk heavyweights are set for the release of All In on February 14th, 2025.
Call it the glory years, call it the Warped Tour years, call it the MySpace years. Whatever you call the mid 00s pop-punk scene, there’s no disputing Amber Pacific became synonymous with one of alternative rock’s most influential times. Having sold over 200,000 albums globally, picking up 10s of millions of streams in the process, Amber Pacific became a household name with their energetic and emotive anthems.
Their much-lauded debut full-length dropped in 2005 on Hopeless Records, with The Possibility & The Promise setting Amber Pacific on a trajectory that took them from MySpace darlings to one of the scene’s leading lights.
Including hit singles “Gone So Young” & “Always You (Good Times)” the LP united the moreish melodies and enticing pop sensibility that defined a generation. In the process, Amber Pacific would put themselves into the mix with the swathe of the genre’s most talked about bands alongside the likes of The Academy is…, Hit The Lights and Yellowcard.
2007 follow up Truth in Sincerity hit #64 on the Billboard 200, cementing the Pacific Northwest quintet’s status as a bonafide player, during what many consider to be the genre’s headiest time.
Fast forward to present day, and the band have come full circle. Not simply to join the raft of high-profile pop-punk reunions of recent times, but to create a record that sees them go All In. All In on mesmerizing hooks. All In on singalong choruses. All In on compelling, relatable storytelling that has so tightly bonded the group with their ardent fanbase.
The new album is a celebration both of Amber Pacific’s achievements to date as well as lighting the pathway for their bright future. It’s no surprise then that the lyrical plot lines weave from the nostalgia drenched “Young & Reckless” to the hopeful “Meant To Be“; the anthemic “SOS” ft Tony Lovato of MEST to the heart-wrenching “Afloat“.
Vocalist Matt Young shares: “This is a new chapter for our band and we feel like we’re on the edge of something incredible, after spending months in Nashville with Sean Rogers and his team. This one is made for the AP faithful, whilst also welcoming new fans to the world of Amber Pacific.“
Indeed, Amber Pacific have crafted a record that is as much for their lifers as it is for those who weren’t yet born when The Possibility & The Promise shot the band to global attention 20 years ago. With All In, the returning rockers prove themselves to be a timeless band in a genre that still resonates across the generations.
