Background

Stay Rad! is the first album by Teenage Bottlerocket consisting of original material since Tales from Wyoming (2015). In 2017 Stealing The Covers was released, an album exclusively consisting of cover songs. The title of the album, Stay Rad!, is inspired by a former roadie of the band, who would wear a hat saying "stay rad".[3]

On January 18 it was announced by Fat Wreck Chords that Teenage Bottlerocket would put out a new studio album on March 15 that year called Stay Rad!. A new song, "I Wanna be a Dog", was made available for streaming.[6][7]

On February 20 the song "Everything to Me" was made available for streaming. An accompanying music video was released as well.[8]

On March 14, a day before the official release, the entire album was made available for streaming via Alternative Press.[9]

A video for "I Wanna Be a Dog" was released on August 21, 2019.[10]
