“We’ve been talking for years now about getting as many of the covers we’ve done for specific territories together and releasing them for all to hear. It’s finally happening,” says Zia McCabe of Portland, OR’s THE DANDY WARHOLS about PIN UPS, their new album packed with covers from such legendary and venerable artists as The Cure, Gang of Four, The Clash, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles. Pin Ups is slated with a release date set for March 20, 2026 via Beat The World Records/Little Cloud Records.

Released today concurrently with the album’s announcement, single “Kiss Off” sees Zia standing in for Violent Femmes’ Gordan Gano, adding a bit of bratty flair against a ‘50s mod backdrop. “I’m especially excited that we’re releasing our cover of Violent Femmes’ ‘Kiss Off’ for the first time,” she says. “I can’t believe this gem has just been sitting in a hard drive for years!” Adds Courtney Taylor-Taylor, “For reminiscing, this record is one of my favorites!”

Among the re-sketches of fabled singles and deep cuts culled from fellow musicians who the band admire and honor are a surf-guitar-flavored “Goo Goo Muck” (The Cramps), a percolating pop version of “Cherry Bomb” (The Runaways), and a faithful and twangy back porch rendition of “You Ain’t Going Nowhere” (The Byrds).

“These are some of our favorite songs, or songs by our favorite bands, or just songs we admired,” explains Peter G. Holmström about their eclectic collection. While some are unreleased gems such as “Ripple” (Grateful Dead) and “Jet Boy” (New York Dolls), others are collected from various tribute records, bonus tracks, and B-sides. “Of course, hours after Michael Jackson died, the phone calls started coming in saying ‘I guess you guys have to cover ‘Blackbird’ now’,” he laughs, pointing out their respectfully hazy and mesmerizingly psychedelic cover of The Beatles signature classic.
As much as a tribute to the songs they love, it also serves as a love letter to many of the artists who are not only peers but friends as well. “Nearly every band we cover on here are friends of ours or artists we have had a meaningful experience with,” Courtney says. “Looking over all the songs again however, I am noticing that we never met the artists from the 60s. Weird.”

The last two years have been monumental for The Dandy Warhols. Releasing one of their best received and critically-hailed album ROCKMAKER (2024) which included guests Slash, Frank Black, and Debbie Harry, and its remade, remixed, and remodeled companion Rock ReMaker (2025), Portland’s favorite sons (and daughter) also performed with The Oregon Symphony for a second time, transforming their music into an immersive orchestral experience. “Playing with the Symphony set the bar for how much emotional and psychological power can be achieved with live music,” says Courtney of the experience. “The Dandy Warhols have toured the world and played hundreds and hundreds of shows. I have learned that nothing… and I mean nothing, compares to us playing with the Symphony.”
The Dandy Warhols is Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Peter G. Holmström (guitar, keyboards), Zia McCabe (keyboard, bass, percussion), and Brent DeBoer (drums, backing vocals). 
Pin Ups will be released on vinyl, CD and digitally on March 20, 2026 via Beat The World Records/Little Cloud Records.
