Ryan Allen has been cranking out power pop records as Ryan Allen & His Extra Arms since 2010. Allen is the former singer and guitarist for post-punk revivalists Thunderbirds Are Now!, who some may remember from Stereogum’s first-ever concert at SXSW 2006.

On his forthcoming album, Headacher, Allen decided to bring some of that collaborative spirit into his personal project, rallying guitarist Michael Gallacher, bassist Ryan Marshall, and drummer Sean Sommer under the Extra Arms moniker. They’ve already shared lead single “Why I Run,” a motivating track about — you guessed it — running. Today, we hear its follow-up “Done To Death,” a dose of bouncy, melodic catharsis. You can hear both songs below.
