There’s no easing into ‘Road Rush‘, the fifth studio album from American skate-thrash outfit Forsaken Profit$.
Released independently on May 8, 2026, the record arrives like a blast of hot asphalt and feedback, capturing the band at their most immediate, unfiltered, and defiantly DIY.
Built on a foundation of breakneck tempos, jagged riffs, and shouted urgency, ‘Road Rush‘ thrives on chaos.
It’s the sound of blown-out amps, sweat-soaked rehearsal rooms, and long nights that blur into early mornings.
Preceded by the singles ‘Decayed‘ and ‘Knives‘, the album set its tone early:
fast, abrasive, and unwilling to compromise.
Available on vinyl – with a digital download included – it’s a release that leans fully into the physical and visceral nature of punk and thrash.
There’s a sense that Forsaken Profit$ aren’t chasing perfection here.
They’re chasing feeling.
The songs hit hard and move fast, driven by instinct rather than polish, with an energy that feels as unpredictable as it is intentional.
It’s music made to be played loud, preferably in crowded rooms where the line between band and audience disappears.
Yet just as the band was gearing up to bring that intensity to the stage, reality intervened.
A planned tour has been postponed following an injury to drummer Joel.
An unexpected setback that the band addressed with equal parts humor and honesty.
In their own words, Joel spends his weekends
“fighting crime as a masked motorloaf vigilante,”
but jokes aside, the situation is serious enough to keep him off the kit until at least the fall.
Rather than push forward without him, the band chose to pause.
An acknowledgment of the chemistry and connection that defines their sound.
It’s a decision that underscores what Forsaken Profit$ are really about:
not just volume and velocity, but loyalty and unity.
For now, ‘Road Rush‘ stands as both a release and a placeholder.
A snapshot of a band in motion, temporarily forced to slow down, but far from losing momentum.
When they return to the stage, it’s safe to assume they’ll pick up exactly where they left off:
loud, fast, and without hesitation.

‘Knives‘ doesn’t ask for permission – it kicks the door in.
Clocking in at just two minutes, the new single from Forsaken Profits is a back-alley brawl set to tape:
no warning, no cleanup, and certainly no apologies.
It’s the sound of blown-out speakers and sweat-drenched floors, where skate punk urgency collides head-on with crossover thrash ferocity.
From the first second, the band comes out swinging and never lets up, delivering a burst of chaos that feels as reckless as it is precise.
Fast, ugly, and brutally effective, ‘Knives‘ hits exactly where it should – then disappears before you’ve even caught your breath.
The track serves as the first taste of their upcoming album ‘Road Rash‘, and it sets the tone with unapologetic force.
Aggressive and downright filthy, Forsaken Profits channel a raw energy that feels ready to tear through anything in its path.
There’s a volatile mix at play here – political bite, unfiltered attitude, and a twisted sense of humor that keeps things as unpredictable as they are intense.
It’s the kind of music that leaves bruises:
confrontational, chaotic, and impossible to ignore.
Call them skumfucks, call them punks, call them whatever you want – just don’t expect them to play nice.
With ‘Knives‘ Forsaken Profits aren’t just making noise;
they’re dragging you into the pit and daring you to keep up.

Forsaken Profits are:
Tyler Capehart – vocals
Bryan Kyle – guitar
Jermain Payne – bass
Joel Perdue – drums

Fourteen years into their run, Atlanta’s self-proclaimed ‘drinking band with a punk problem‘ Forsaken Profits show no signs of slowing down.
Instead, the skate-punk thrash outfit are marking the milestone the only way they know how – by turning up the volume and unleashing a brand-new single.
Titled ‘Decayed‘, the track serves as the first taste of the band’s upcoming full-length album, ‘Beyond Stoked‘, set for release in 2026.
At full throttle from the opening seconds, ‘Decayed‘ delivers exactly what longtime fans have come to expect:
breakneck riffs, razor-sharp rhythms, and an unapologetic attitude that feels both nostalgic and fiercely current.
Musically, the single taps into the technical precision of classic ’80s thrash while retaining the raw, unfiltered punch of underground hardcore.
It’s skate-thrash at its most kinetic – tight, aggressive, and brimming with the kind of reckless energy that defined the genre’s golden era.
Yet there’s no sense of retro cosplay here.
Forsaken Profits channel those influences into something urgent and contemporary, a sonic middle finger aimed squarely at complacency.
‘Decayed‘ is more than just a standalone blast of speed and fury – it’s a statement of intent.
After well over a decade grinding it out in the DIY trenches, the band remain as hungry as ever.
Their upcoming album ‘Beyond Stoked‘ promises to expand on that intensity, and vinyl collectors won’t have to wait long:
the new record is slated to hit shelves on wax this April.
For a band built on sweat, speed, and stubborn independence, fourteen years is not just an anniversary – it’s proof of endurance.
And if ‘Decayed‘ is any indication, Forsaken Profits are far from done.
