Today, conceptual band La Dispute announce their No One Was Driving the Car Australian headline tour, which will be hitting our shores October 2026. La Dispute will be promoting their latest album No One Was Driving The Car, released in September of 2025 via Epitaph Records.
It’s been six years since La Dispute released their last album, Panorama. Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore band—made up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on bass—dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of Wildlife and Rooms Of The House, and began working on No One Was Driving The Car.
Fashioning music that is free and independent of hierarchy, Special Features from Meanjin/Brisbane operates without a single focal point, rotating lead vocal duties and embracing an unapologetic barrage of noise. Their live performance is more a raucous group therapy session with heads pressed against amps, sweat on the walls, and voices forging release. Having quickly earned attention across Australia, sharing stages with acts like Bad Dreems and DZ Deathrays, Special Features are building a reputation for shows that feel as liberating as they are explosive. Their debut album is set for release in 2026.
