Church Burglars have today released their new single titled ‘King Of Lies’ from their upcoming album, ‘Welcome To Dreamland’, out August 29th, 2025.
A true test of freedom of speech with the sound and snark of an indie project meant for the mind, I can’t help but ask if this is as much of a concept as the concept of liberty. Is the state of the union still a state of mind? Or does the burden of proof now lie within the proof of purchase?
Musically concise with an equilibrium of angst, anger, attitude, and America, Church Burglars gives us something to look forward to with their upcoming album.
About ‘King of Lies’
“King of Lies” is a deliberate nod to the contradictions of American independence. The band’s visual identity around this project is as bold as its message: a homeless Statue of Liberty crowned in cardboard and cloaked in disillusionment.
“It’s a parody of Manifest Destiny,” says frontman Michael Foltz. “She’s holding a sign that says ‘Anything Helps.’ That’s where the empire’s at. That’s the state of the union.”
Church Burglars’ upcoming album “Welcome To Dreamland” is scheduled for release on August 29th, 2025.
About Church Burglars
Church Burglars is a Los Angeles-based rock band originating from Boston, MA. Formed in 2018, the band consists of Chris Dee on drums, Bobby Weiss on bass and backing vocals, Alec Grugel on guitar, and Mike Foltz as the main vocalist and second guitar.
Their overarching goal is to revive a thriving live music culture in LA through their raw, energetic sound and stunning musicianship. Drawing inspiration from all eras of legendary music, including contemporary pop, rock, country, and jazz, Church Burglars’ lyrics aim to evoke contemplation and inspiration by shedding light on the harsh realities faced in the world today.
Despite being a relatively new band, Church Burglars has already achieved several notable accomplishments, including a headlining showcase at the world-famous Whisky a Go-Go. The group’s debut album “Subconsciously Conscious” has been described as if Guns N’ Roses wrote Dark Side of the Moon, because it mixes heavy guitars with hypnotically psychedelic melodies; a deceptive blend that perfectly serves as a soundtrack to their home turf in the Los Angeles Sunset Strip!
What sets Church Burglars apart from other bands is their infectious energy and commitment to putting on an unforgettable live show. Whether they’re playing to a packed club or a small DIY basement, they deliver a furious intensity and pure passion to every performance.
