Chicago’s Blind Adam and the Federal League has released a new single entitled “All Your Favorite Bands” by American-Folk band Dawes. Chicago’s own engineer extraordinaire, Dan Tinkler, produced the song. The band is kicking off a tour today with a handful of shows in their city with the Bouncing Souls.

Front person Adam Gogola had the following to say about the new track:

“The song ‘All Your Favorite Bands’ by Dawes became one of my favorites over the past few years. I was missing friends, going to shows, and being on the road – hoping we would get back to it someday. We delayed the release of our last album, An Act of Desperation, in the wake of Covid-19 to focus on mutual aid and solidarity with the uprisings that broke out in response to the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police. We weren’t sure what 2022 was going to look like as a band, since our planned shows had been canceled, so when we got the offer to support The Bouncing Souls on this tour — we kind of joked about turning ‘All Your Favorite Bands’ into a Punk Rock song as a tribute to everyone we have connected with through music over the years.”

He continues:

“The Bouncing Souls really put the wind back in our sails. We weren’t sure what we were going to be able to do as a band in 2022; we don’t have a booking agent, and it was hard to know when to start booking shows during the Omicron wave. The Bouncing Souls have been one of our favorite bands since we were kids and have been super supportive of all my bands over the years. The nickname ‘Blind Adam’ was actually given to me by Bryan Kienlen, the bassist of the Bouncing Souls.”
