The California rock band announced that Mercury Comet will arrive on Aug. 12, marking the group's first full collection of original studio material since 2012's Magic.
Smash Mouth recently released the song "Better Believer" and followed it with the new single "Had Enuff," giving fans their first taste of original music from the band in more than a decade.
Founding bassist Paul DeLisle is leading the current version of Smash Mouth, now the only remaining original member following the retirement of longtime frontman Steve Harwell in 2021 and his death in 2023.

According to the announcement, Mercury Comet continues the mix of pop, rock, surf, ska and retro sounds that helped turn Smash Mouth into one of the biggest radio bands of the late 1990s and early 2000s while opening a new era for the group.

After welcoming singer Zach Goode as lead vocalist in 2022, Smash Mouth returned to recording with singles including "4th of July," "Ride On" and "Underground Sun." The band also released the holiday album Missile Toes in 2023.
"We wrote it as a continuation of our 2001 hit single, 'Pacific Coast Party,' with a similar good-vibe feel," DeLisle said in a statement, per PEOPLE.
The band's current lineup includes DeLisle on bass, Zach Goode on vocals, Michael Klooster on keyboards, Sean Hurwitz on guitar and Randy Cooke on drums.
Formed in San Jose, California, Smash Mouth became one of the defining rock bands of the late '90s with hits including "Walkin' on the Sun," "All Star," "Then The Morning Comes" and its cover of "I'm a Believer."
The song later gained new generations of fans after appearing in the 2001 animated filmShrek.
The band experienced several lineup changes over the years, but DeLisle remained a constant presence through every era of the group's history.
Smash Mouth is continuing to tour around the world as part of its Go For The Moon Tour 2026. The group is also scheduled to perform at Paperfest in Kimberly, where fans can expect classics such as "All Star," "Walkin' on the Sun" and "I'm a Believer" alongside the band's newest material.
