Indie band Gamblers have released their latest single, “Pulverizer.” “Pulverizer” is the first and title track of the band’s forthcoming album, set to be released March 29, 2024. The track is also accompanied by a music video.
Speaking on the new single, lead vocalist Michael McManus shares:
Over the course of making and preparing to release this record, our band was starting to see some success but my entire personal life fell apart. Our last EP has now been streamed 10 million times, we had a single featuring Mick Jenkins become a fan favorite, we got signed to new management and distribution deals, but everything unraveled for me.
It started with the death of my grandfather (who I was particularly close to) and the breakup of a seven year romantic relationship. Next, I was involved in a horrific car crash caused by a heavily impaired speeding driver that left me with a concussion, neck, shoulder, and back injuries, and severe PTSD – not to mention four other people involved in the crash were killed. Finally, and worst of all, my mother who I loved more than life itself was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and died. This song, and this record, are both called “Pulverizer” – because simply put, I’ve been pulverized by life.

Pulverizer serves as the group’s sophomore album, following their 2020 debut LP Small World and their 2022 remix EP When We Exit.
Additionally, Gamblers will be celebrating Pulverizer with a special album release show. Join the band at Heaven Can Wait in New York on March 30th, 2023 to hear songs from the new album live.
