Lavalove share new single ‘Never Better’ from upcoming album

Southern California based indie rock band, Lavalove, have released a new song and music video for  “Never Better”. It’s taken from the band’s upcoming new album “TAN LINES” out April 3 via Pure Noise Records. It follows the lead single and music video for “Sniffin’ Around” which can be heard here and seen here.

‘“Never Better” is hypnotic while trying to subconsciously convince your partner you’ll be their favorite ex,” says singer and guitarist Tealarose Coy. “It’s a song you could scream at the top of your lungs in your room for sure. The ending is so amazing as well, my favorite lyrics on the album.”

Lavalove have never been interested in asking for permission. Crashing the party has always felt like the better option, whether carousing through the Southern California bar scene, pushing back against expectation, or chasing the glow of new love. That spirit of escapism sits at the core of “TAN LINES”, a record rooted in the belief that a brighter, freer life might be just one perfect night away.

Produced by Anton DeLost (State Champs, The Warning), “TAN LINES” channels the unfiltered thrill of an endless summer into a SoCal surf-meets-indie rock statement that feels both timeless and immediate. Drawing from the simplicity of ’60s pop and surf while filtering it through modern indie, garage rock, and psych-pop textures, the album bursts with effortless melodies, punchy rhythms, and a confident, sun-soaked energy.

“TAN LINES” is an album about getting out: of bad jobs, bad relationships, and bad moods that burn off in late nights with friends and early mornings at the beach. Melding surf rock, garage grit, indie sheen and psych-pop shimmer, the album bridges eras and impulses – even those one might not expect, like the sunburned swagger of Coy’s all-time favorite band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the take-no-shit attitude driving modern hitmakers like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. The album doesn’t whitewash life’s heaviness; instead, it meets it head-on, choosing joy, connection, and chosen family over self-pity. The result is a fearless, forward-looking album built on confidence and, most importantly, community.
