The Living End releases their second new song of 2025, “Strange Place”

The Living End’s latest song for 2025, titled ‘Strange Place,’ offers a glimpse into the band’s upcoming ninth album, which is still unnamed.
In ‘Strange Place,’ the band tackles the chaos of the modern world, particularly focusing on the impact of world leaders. Lead singer and guitarist, Chris Cheney, emphasized the increasing sense of unease and turmoil in today’s society. He noted, “News flash! It’s getting crazy out there! I look around and I see a lot of people that just can’t make sense of where this world is heading. It’s become a ‘Strange Place’; a giant asylum full of fragile, disconnected, and disillusioned people that aren’t coping.”
Cheney highlighted various issues plaguing the world, including mental health, the high cost of living, the influence of social media, the looming threat of war, rising youth-related crime rates, online toxicity, and the challenges faced by a generation grappling with rapid societal changes and leadership by what he termed as ‘lunatics.’
The band’s previous album, ‘Wunderbar,’ was released seven years ago, marking the longest gap between albums in The Living End’s history. ‘Alfie,’ their first song of 2025, was released in May of the same year.
