Finnish hard rock trio Luponero return just in time for the season of sweat with the Summer Heat version of their tongue-in-cheek debut single DAD BOD ROK GOD — a riff-heavy, swagger-filled anthem celebrating the glorious chaos of middle-aged rock masculinity.

Since its original release, DAD BOD ROK GOD has racked up over 1 million views on TikTok and 100,000+ views on YouTube, making it a surprise underground hit and a loud-and-proud celebration of dad rock energy. Now, newly signed to Swedish indie label Icons Creating Evil Art, Luponero give the track a sun-soaked rework — amping up the heat, the humor, and the hooks.

Marco Luponero explains:
 - “The Summer Heat version of Dad Bod Rok God is a full-body celebration of backyard bravado, overcooked sausages, and rock’n’roll resilience. We took this already exquisite rock anthem, marinated it in an even bigger, juicier groove, slapped it on the grill, and let it sizzle until every succulent lick drips with grease, glory and a relentless sonic punch.
‘Dad bod’ isn’t a physique as much as it’s a state of mind. Everyone’s invited. Just pour yourself a cold one, crank up the speakers, and make sure your lawn is fireproof – because this summer, Luponero rules both the grill and the stage.”

The release follows a major year for Luponero, including the drop of their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album and a European tour that took their explosive live show across borders. That album, described by the band as a dive into “positive nihilism”, showcased Luponero’s unique sound — blending grunge, punk, classic rock, and synthwave into a wild, emotionally charged ride.

“We don’t care about fitting neatly into one category,” says Marco. “We care about saying something real, loud, and honest — and hopefully giving you something to scream along to while you do dishes or burn in the sun.”

With DAD BOD ROK GOD (Summer Heat Version), Luponero continue to push forward under their new moniker, fusing modern punk sensibility with vintage rock power — and doing it all with a grin that says: we’re not done yet.
