NEW LP
New sealed copy.
Burn All the Ships marks the 11th studio album from Canadian rock veterans Headstones, released September 19, 2025, via Dine Alone Records. The record finds the Kingston-born band returning with the fire and conviction that has carried them across nearly four decades, blending snarling punk energy with moments of striking restraint. Lead single Daylight Lightning sets the tone with its brooding atmosphere and slow-burning intensity, a reminder of the band’s grit and uncompromising approach.
Frontman Hugh Dillon calls the track a favourite, and the album as a whole pushes into new territory without losing the raw immediacy that has defined Headstones since their 1993 debut Picture of Health. Produced with longtime collaborator Chris Osti, the record also features notable guest appearances, including Emily Haines of Metric on An Effort to Forget and Green adding weight to Navigate, both of which expand the band’s sonic palette. The result is one of the most dynamic collections of songs in their career.
Since forming in 1987, Headstones have become one of Canada’s most enduring rock acts, building a legacy through albums like Teeth and Tissue (1995), Nickels for Your Nightmares (2000), and more recently Flight Risk (2022). Their return in the 2010s reaffirmed their place in the country’s rock history, and Burn All the Ships continues that trajectory. Decades on, Hugh Dillon and company prove that their no-nonsense approach to rock and roll still resonates, only growing sharper and harder with time.
