Sailor Honeymoon drop debut album The Worst of Sailor Honeymoon

Sailor Honeymoon released their debut album, The Worst of Sailor Honeymoon, on August 14, 2026. The Korean punk trio's first full-length opens with "Bad Apple", their second single. The release is on the band's own Bandcamp and Spotify pages and the Apple Music listing.

The band is the female punk-rock three-piece Abi Raymaker on drums, Zaeeun Shin on guitar and Yelim Kim on bass. Raymaker and Shin started it through informal jamming sessions, got signed, then brought in Kim. They put out a first single, "Cockroach", in 2023 and have been building since. They sing mostly in English but slip into Korean on at least one track, "Red".

This summer the trio played festivals across Europe and a London date at The Windmil in Brixton. Their merch carries a line that argues the band's own case bluntly: "Korean girls invented punk rock not England." Raymaker has put her drumming another way: "I am a mediocre drummer, I should be making trashy beats."
