Butthole Surfers Release New Video “Jet Fighter” From Unreleased Album

We never thought we’d witness this moment, but life’s most thrilling surprises come when you least expect them.

Emerging from the bizarre, culturally significant surf-punk psychedelia of the ’90s, the Butthole Surfers have resurrected an old gem and breathed fresh life into it. It’s like finding a forgotten treasure in your attic—except way cooler.

"Jet Fighter" delivers precisely what you’d anticipate, yet somehow captures feelings you thought were lost forever. The track’s ironic, absurd, and melodic—classic Butthole Surfers territory, really.

For those really craving that vibrant nostalgia trip, the "Jet Fighters" music video serves up the perfect remedy for 2026. The absurdist mixed-media collage style brings the lyrics to life in ways that’ll mess with your head (in the best possible way).

This single arrives alongside exciting news: the band’s planning to release their shelved 1998 album, After The Astronaut, on June 26th. Talk about perfect timing—or is it?
