Los Angeles anarcho-punk collective Gottlieb have released the official video for their new single “Pipe Bomb,” streaming now. The track is the first offering from their long-awaited debut album The Far Fallen Fruit, due out May 1, 2026 via Quiet Panic, and arrives as a volatile visual companion to one of the record’s defining statements.
Opening with the stark line “Nothing more dangerous than a failed artist,” “Pipe Bomb” functions as both mission statement and moment-in-time document — a furious response to the collapse of creative labor under corporate consolidation. The video mirrors that tension, channeling the band’s confrontational live energy into a stark, politically charged presentation that amplifies the song’s themes of alienation, commodification, and generational disillusionment.
“This was written at a time when I was experiencing the contraction of the TV industry,” says vocalist Andrew Pescara. “I was alongside my peers on strike, watching our dreams die in a business suffocated by billion-dollar deals. It’s a commentary on the commodification of workers across industries, where our lifelong wellbeing amounts to an accounting error.”
Entirely self-produced — from recording and mixing to artwork — The Far Fallen Fruit captures Gottlieb at their most direct and unflinching. Drawing from the punk edge of hardcore in the lineage of Ceremony, Crass, and Refused, the band deliver a sound that is volatile, hook-driven, and politically immediate. Where hardcore’s growing visibility has often leaned toward aesthetics, Gottlieb use the platform to confront economic precarity, systemic violence, and the psychic toll of modern American life.
At its core, the album documents what the band describe as a generational rupture.
“Our generation is in an antagonistic, mutually destructive relationship with the United States of America,” Pescara explains. “The American Ideal has crumbled, and the American Dream is something we’ve been forced to reject — even while hoping it could still be recovered.”
Bassist Dylan Marquez adds: “We are the first generation projected to have a shorter, lower-quality life than our parents. The apple has fallen very, very far from the tree.”
Rather than offering nostalgia or reform, The Far Fallen Fruit argues for a break from inherited systems — a eulogy for a collapsing promise and a challenge to build something beyond it. “This album is dedicated to those who are planting better trees, whose shade they’ll never rest beneath,” says Pescara.
The release of the “Pipe Bomb” video follows the band’s recent hometown single-release show at The Echo and precedes a run of West Coast dates with Filth Is Eternal and a full U.S. tour this summer.

Gottlieb is a politically driven punk band operating out of a co-op in central Los Angeles. Blending post-punk tension with the ferocity of classic hardcore, the group pairs propagandist lyricism with explosive live performances and outspoken activism against police violence, ICE, billionaires, and oligarchy.
Described as “violent poetry for residents of a failing empire,” Gottlieb — Andrew Pescara (vocals), Dylan Marquez (bass), Mike Carnarius (guitar), and Dave Chessey (drums) — formed in early 2020 and have previously released the EPs Dear Heroes and I Am This Place. Their track “Scarcity” has repeatedly gone viral during periods of political unrest.
