Yesterday evening (24 January), Jack Antonoff – frontman of Bleachers – took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his thoughts on sharing a release date with Kanye West.

Bleachers are set to release their forthcoming self-titled album in March. Since releasing their debut album, Strange Desire, in 2014, the band have built a following across three studio albums, including the most recent – 2021's Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, and their live albums, Live At Radio City Music Hall, and Live At Electric Lady.

Coincidentally, Kanye West is releasing the second part of his Vultures trilogy with Ty Dolla Sign on the same day as the Bleachers release.

In 2022, Antonoff spoke out against West's anti-Semitic comments during a Bleachers show in Columbia, Missouri.

"I'm Jewish, and we take a lot of pride in our basketball skill," Antonoff said. "You know what I'm saying, Columbia, Missouri? Don’t fuck with us until we roll our ankle in the platform Docs. And then still don’t fuck with us. Kanye, don’t fuck with us. Everything about that little bitch misses. See, when Bowie went through the fascism phase, right? It's dicey shit, but the motherfucker’s making some of the best records that ever happened. Kanye’s so far from good work, just, what do we do besides tell him to get the fuck out of here?"

Bleachers, the band’s fourth studio album, released on 8 March via Dirty Hit and is available to pre-order now via bleachersmusic.com.
