Big D And The Kids Table Deliver 'Right Now' Video

Official Announcement | Published: May 03, 2026 12:20 PM EDT

(Earshot) Ska-punk heroes Big D And The Kids Table return with their new single "Right Now," a full-throttle burst of positivity that leans into the band's core message: choose joy, stay connected, and don't wait to start living.

Arriving on the heels of the band's recent single and video "Whiplash," "Right Now" lands as a blast of unfiltered optimism-the kind of song that feels destined for open windows, long nights, and loud singalongs-pairing punchy horns, driving rhythms, and shout-along hooks with a message rooted in connection at a time when it feels most needed.

"RIGHT NOW is about launching your positive self NOW," says frontman David McWane. "We haven't experienced a positive American year in a long-long time. We won't be able to keep living so tense. It's time to recognize you are alive and that that experience isn't long. It's time to make your own sunshine & choose optimism... It is not a time to hold back love, it is a time for you to love more. Love everyday like it's your last weekend... Start RIGHT NOW...!!!"

The video captures the band in their natural setting-packed room, no barrier, total release. Directed and edited by Craig Shannon, with animation by Empire Animate, it channels the same sense of chaos, connection, and shared joy that has defined BIG D AND THE KIDS TABLE's live shows for decades.

"We put the word out for a basically free show and so many people came," McWane says. "The vibe was ultra happy. People were just smiling, gabbing & connecting. Then when we hit the stage everyone was screaming, head-walking & stage diving. Perfect night!"

Both songs appear on the band's upcoming album, The Good Ole American Saturday Night, out June 12, 2026 via SideOneDummy Records. Produced by Joe Gittleman (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones) and Matt Appleton (Reel Big Fish), the album leans into everything that's kept the band vital-tight rhythms, sharp horns, and songs built for the kind of release only a live show can deliver.

More than three decades in, BIG D AND THE KIDS TABLE are still doing what they've always done best: bringing people together, turning tension into release, and reminding you-loudly-that the moment to feel alive isn't someday.

It's right now.
