Edge Of The World Release New Album ‘Signs’
Edge Of The World was formed shortly after Russian poet Vladimir took part in the recording of the album “My Book Of Answers” with Rock legend Ken Hensley (ex-Uriah Heep), which was based on Vladimir’s poems. Vladimir was soon introduced to musicians Igor and Anton then pianist Timofey, and a fruitful cooperation was formed. The first songs were recorded in Russian, but seeing their potential, the guys decided to record an album in English. They picked 14 poems, translated them into English, and sent them to London for editing. The result of this work is the album ‘Signs’.
The album swings from fast-paced bangers to slower, sing-along worthy Rock ballads and the band have made it clear that they’re able to seamlessly fuse poetry and an addictive, throwback Post-Grunge sound.
Talking about the inspiration for the album and the title track, Edge Of The World share: “Most of the songs are Vladimir’s personal experiences, the relationship between a man and a woman, but the main song from the album called “Signs”is about something else, something maybe even mystical, hidden side of our life. Global issues are regulated by a small group of people, very rich people, we can say that our world is ruled by money, you can buy everything you want, if you have enough money: food, clothing, human resources or even man himself, and this is so sad! Those people who have gathered money and resources, act solely in their own interests, and not in the interests of society. And that’s what this song is about, most people have sold themselves for nothing, they work at a job they don’t like, they buy things they don’t need, they eat junk food, they don’t sleep well and suffer from depression, and why? because they sold themselves for nothing, but sooner or later all this will collapse overnight and people will realise that they are chasing false values.”
The album was written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by one man – Anton Poluykov, he’s also the voice of the band. When the album was ready Anton and Vladimir decided to play it live, and then Igor joined the band as a Bass player, Vladislav as a drummer, Tim as a pianist and then Vitaly joined the band as a lead guitarist.
There’s a particular kind of hunger that defines a band on the verge — that combustible mix of raw talent, hard-won momentum, and the unmistakable sense that everything they’ve been building is about to break wide open. The Chads, the pop-punk-ska fireballers out of Sayville, New York, have that hunger in abundance. And in 2026, they are ready to feed it.
The foundation is already in place. The four-piece — Joy, Mike, Mark, and Santino — spent the past year stacking wins that most bands spend a decade chasing. They took home the WEHM Battle of the Bands, earned a coveted spot on the Jumbalaya Stage at the Great South Bay Music Festival, and walked into a WPIX Morning Show segment that put their faces and their music in front of a New York City-wide audience. For a band still in the early stages of their career, it is a résumé that commands attention.
Their debut single “The Neighbors” — a razor-sharp, high-energy pop-punk-ska hybrid pulled straight from a true story of Long Island life — announced their arrival with a wink and a riff. Tongue-in-cheek in tone but tight as a drum in execution, the song showcases exactly what makes The Chads stand out in a crowded regional scene: they can make you laugh and make you move at the same time, which is a far rarer skill than it sounds. The track is available on Spotify and has been making steady inroads on radio, building the kind of organic buzz that no marketing budget can manufacture.
Now comes the next chapter. The Chads are heading into Dream Studios with producer Jason Mekler to record their new EP — a project that represents the most significant creative investment of their career to date. Mekler’s production experience combined with the band’s live-honed instincts makes for a pairing with serious promise. If “The Neighbors” was the introduction, the EP is the statement — the recorded proof that what audiences have been experiencing in clubs and on festival stages across Long Island translates just as powerfully through speakers.
The tri-state area has been the proving ground. The world is next.
Pop-punk has always thrived on authenticity — on bands that sound like they mean it, that write songs about real places and real people and real absurdities of everyday life.
The Chads check every one of those boxes. They are a Long Island band in the truest sense: specific enough to feel genuine, relatable enough to travel far beyond the island that made them.
Watch for the EP. Watch for the tour dates. Watch for the name.
The Chads are coming — and they are bringing Sayville with them.
