Candlebox have officially revealed all of the details for their upcoming final studio album, The Long Goodbye, set to be released on August 25th. In addition the band has released the album’s first single, “Punks.”

Shares front man and songwriter Kevin Martin: “Candlebox weren’t the punks that paved the road for all these other bands that came along, but the statement is that music has always been there and nobody’s really doing anything differently. You think that you’re invincible and you try to grab all those things that come along with being in a rock band and touring the world. But inevitably, you’re left with yourself, and if you don’t have something within yourself that can keep you grounded, what are you doing it for?”
