THE DANDY WARHOLS SHARE COVER OF THE CRAMPS “GOO GOO MUCK”

NEW ALBUM PIN UPS OUT NOW ON BEAT THE WORLD RECORDS/LITTLE CLOUD RECORDS

The Dandy Warhols return with PIN UPS, a sprawling, shape-shifting collection of covers that pays homage to the songs and artists that helped define their sound – and their story. The album (out March 20, 2026 via Beat The World Records / Little Cloud Records) stitches together rare cuts, tribute contributions, B-sides, and long-shelved recordings into a cohesive, freewheeling journey – one that feels as much like a mixtape of obsessions as it does a proper studio album. Inspired by David Bowie’s 1973 album of the same name, PIN UPS reimagines songs by The Cure, Gang of Four, The Clash, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Runaways, The Byrds, The Damned, and more. It’s both a tribute and a transformation: a lovingly assembled set of reinterpretations spanning decades, genres, and influences, filtered through the band’s unmistakable psychedelic cool.

Alongside the album release, the band unveils one of the album’s most electrifying moments: “Goo Goo Muck.” Originally made infamous by The Cramps, The Dandy Warhols’ version leans all the way into its shadowy energy – surf guitar dripping in reverb, equal parts camp and hypnotic groove. “When we started recording this, it must’ve been in the mid-teens,” recalls Courtney Taylor-Taylor. “We thought we were going to cover the original version by The Gaylads but when Pete [Holmström] started playing the spooky Duane Eddy guitar, we realized that, nope, we’re covering The Cramps.” The result is a track that feels unearthed from some dimly lit, smoke-filled corner of rock history – familiar, but warped just enough to feel newly-dangerous. It’s a perfect encapsulation of PIN UPS as a whole: reverent without being precious, playful without losing bite.

PIN UPS arrives on the heels of a prolific and creatively charged period for the band. Following the release of their critically acclaimed album ROCKMAKER (2024) – featuring collabs with Slash, Frank Black, and Debbie Harry – and its companion remix project Rock ReMaker (2025), The Dandy Warhols have continued to push their sonic boundaries, including a powerful return to the stage alongside The Oregon Symphony.

With PIN UPS, the band turns their attention backward – not to dwell, but to celebrate, reinterpret, and reframe the songs that shaped them. The result is a record that feels both deeply personal and wildly expansive: a love letter to influence itself.

The Dandy Warhols are Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Peter G. Holmström (guitar, keyboards), Zia McCabe (keyboard, bass, percussion), and Brent DeBoer (drums, backing vocals). PIN UPS is available on vinyl, CD, and digital formats now via Beat The World Records / Little Cloud Records.
