Biography
New Tomorrow is a San Luis Obispo based punk band known for their anthemic chorus’ and energetic live show.
Formed in 2003, they have since written and released three full length albums and have toured extensively throughout the United States. Including festival spots at Warped Tour and main support spots for bands including Strung Out, Propagandhi, Avenged Sevenfold, and many others. Their third album, We’re Counting On The Youth, was put out by Skeleton Crew Records owned by Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance.
New Tomorrow is still currently active and drew over 400 people to their 20th anniversary show in February of 2025. More shows are on the horizon, as well as new material to be recorded and released in 2026.

20th ANNIVERSArY REISSUE
New Tomorrow’s debut album, hellohihellohi was originally released in 2005. This year, for the 20th anniversary, it’s been given new life through a complete modern remix and remaster. It feels like a brand new album, while retaining the original’s energy and grit. .

REVIEWS
“New Tomorrow is one of my new favorite bands, hard working and talented. Some rock bands play hardcore songs, and some bands live and breathe it, New Tomorrow is one of the latter. They bring a heartfelt intelligence to their music I haven’t witnessed in years. They are unique because they force you to think, a quality that is unfortunately scarce in this digital day and age. “We’re counting on the youth” is a successful record in that it captures their energetic live show, and ends up still polished enough to impress the harshest of critics. I find it impossible to listen to this record and not sing along. New Tomorrow is inspiring, there is no better way to describe them. xo”
