Evan Greer releases charged single ‘$5’ featuring Eve 6 ahead of upcoming album AMAB/ACAB
Evan Greer has returned with the blistering new single ‘$5’ ft. Eve 6, the first offering from her forthcoming album AMAB/ACAB, due out September 19 via Get Better Records. Known for her fiery blend of queer punk and political activism, Greer leans into both on this nostalgic yet punchy track that bridges two decades of DIY energy and outspoken resistance.
Produced by Casey Neill and featuring percussion from Rachel Blumberg (The Decemberists), AMAB/ACAB promises a diverse sonic palette ranging from folk-punk anthems to shoegaze ballads. But ‘$5’ arrives first, a pop-punk-infused blast of memory and momentum that balances its biting edge with melody and heart. With Eve 6 featured on the track and a lineup of notable contributors across the record—including Liz Berlin (Rusted Root), Victoria Ruiz (Downtown Boys), and Josh Kantor (Boston Red Sox organist)—Greer has assembled a community as dynamic as the songs themselves.
Of the ‘$5’ Ft Eve 6 music video, Evan says:
“The video for $5 is a ‘transition timeline’ using clips from shows I’ve played over the last 23 years. It starts with footage of me playing at a rally against the Iraq war I helped organize in high school, and ends with me playing at the Trump inauguration protests. The montage shows me losing my sideburns, growing out my hair, ditching cargo pants for sequin dresses, and playing shows ranging from basements to big stages. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine makes a cameo, along with the guys from Eve 6 who feature on the song, Anjimile who plays bass with me, and my kid, who grew up on the road with me while I toured in her early years. $5 is very much a pop-punk brew of weaponized nostalgia, and this look back felt very right for the tune.”
‘$5’ is out now on your favorite DSP.
