Los Angeles Melodic Punk band Stoke Signals have just released Making Enemies, a four-song EP with a collaborative twist. The release arrives via Hey! Fever Records and follows their 2024 debut LP, Make Dying Fun. The single and video for “The Beginning of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade With River Phoenix Still Gets Me So Hyped” is out now.

The band self-recorded the EP in their Culver City lockout space. It was later mastered by Paul Miner (Death By Stereo, Thrice), preserving the band’s live energy.

The band says about the unusually-named track:

“This song is probably the most Stoke Signaly song of our discography. Not so much that it sounds the most like a Stoke Signals song (it actually doesn’t because most of our songs are E-C#m-A – now you know our secret) , but just like everything about how it was made. Jordan started the skeleton of the song with a demo he made for his old band he was in a few years ago that never got used.

He uploaded it to the drive and then G stokified it with better riffs because Jordan sucks at guitar. Mike then made the drums super sick. After G wrote lyrics Chris and Jordan added some gang vocal parts and then we got Chris Stout from Heartwells to join in on the fun and we even added some organs to impress our uncle’s in Empired.

At the time the song was called “Heart Attack On A Plane Over the Pacific” but one day Mike randomly texted our group chat saying: “the beginning of indiana jones and the last crusade with river phoenix still gets me so hyped” and we were like, you know what, that’s what this song needs to be called instead. It kind of works because that scene is super epic and this is one of our more epic songs, with the big riffy intro and one of our more dynamic bridges. If this song doesn’t get you pregnant, nothing will.”
