As their acclaimed new album JENKEM continues to earn rave reviews from critics around the world, punk rock legends The Dwarves continue their 2026 tour with dates across Europe before returning to North America this September, bringing their notoriously explosive live show to festivals, clubs, and theaters alongside some of punk’s most enduring names.
Released via the band’s own Greedy Records, JENKEM has been embraced as one of the strongest records of The Dwarves’ storied career—a blistering collection of fourteen tracks that captures everything fans have loved about the band for decades: razor-sharp hooks, breakneck riffs, black humor, and zero interest in playing it safe.

“The most notorious live punk act of all time is also the last punk band to make great records!” says Blag Dahlia. “JENKEM hits hard and fast—catchy old-school punk dripping with that trademark Dwarves attitude.”
The momentum surrounding the album has continued with the release of the band’s latest video for “Damned If I Do,” a hook-filled standout that perfectly balances infectious songwriting with The Dwarves’ trademark irreverence. Directed by Samuel Gonzalez Jr. and produced by Gigi Gustin, the clip delivers exactly what fans have come to expect: outrageous visuals, biting satire, and enough punk rock attitude to offend just about everyone equally.
