Power pop legends Cheap Trick have announced their twenty-first album. All Washed Up is scheduled to arrive via BMG on November 14, and is heralded by the release of a new single, Twelve Gates.

"Our newest single release, Twelve Gates, from the 2025 LP All Washed Up, is one of our best yet,” says bassist Tom Pettersson. "I really love how this song came out. It's one of my favourites on the album."

The band produced all Washed Up with longtime associate Julian Raymond, whose credits also include Cheap Trick albums Woke Up With A Monster, Special One, Bang, Zoom, Crazy... Hello, The Latest, We're All Alright!, In Another World and Rockford.

The album was mixed by Chris Lord Alge and recorded at Sound Emporium, Blackbird, Love Shack and Zen studios in Nashville, as well as at Sweetzerland Studios in Los Angeles.

"Just one more great album from the best rock band in the world," advises lead singer/guitarist Robin Zander, modestly.

Cheap Trick are currently on tour and have just announced a further run of shows beginning in October. Full dates below.
