\u00a0Fix yourself, because The Wombats have a new album out, and they\u2019re kicking off the next leg of a North American tour behind it at Jannus Live.<\/p>\n

Oh! The Ocean, which dropped in February, pretty much encapsulates the deeper thoughts of someone raw-dogging depression and anxiety. Along with its relatable-AF title, harmonious opening track \u201cSorry I\u2019m Late, I Didn\u2019t Want to Come\u201d is an unsettling ode to self-awareness not being the be-all-end-all, but still being able to dominate one\u2019s headspace. And the more industrial-sounding \u201cI Love America And She Hates Me\u201d depicts the nation as a manipulative figure that keeps Matthew Murphy and friends coming back for more.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool-based trio hasn\u2019t been in state since an opening slot for Weezer and the Pixies in Tampa\u2019s old Gary amphitheater<\/a> in 2018 (which a good number of us missed due to I-4 traffic). There\u2019s currently no opener on the bill for its first show of 2026 either, so be on time.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see The Wombats play St. Pete\u2019s Jannus Live on Thursday, Jan. 29 are still available and cost $46.61<\/a><\/p>\n
