Tomorrow’s Hits is the fifth studio album by the Brooklyn punk rock band The Men released March 4, 2014 on Sacred Bones Records.
Work on Tomorrow's Hits first began during the winter of 2012. The album was recorded at Strange Weather studios and was recorded before New Moon, the band's fourth studio album, was released. The album's title was a tribute to the titles of compilation albums that were released during the 1960s. The term "Tomorrow's Hits" had also previously appeared in the liner notes for New Moon. The neon sign on the album's cover was designed by Rich Samis and Kevin Faulkner.
The album mixes punk rock with classic rock influences. Artists that have been cited as influences includes Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger and The Rolling Stones. The album also made heavy use of horns. "Another Night" is a blue-eyed soul song. "Pearly Gates" is a fast tempo song with blues influences. Writers have compared the track "Get What You Give" to Boston's "More Than a Feeling."
The album was first announced on December 3, 2013. The first single from the album, "Pearly Gates," was released January 8, 2014. A second single from the album, "Another Night," was released on February 3, 2014. A third single from the album, "Different Days," was released the next day.Tomorrow's Hits was streamed in its entirety on February 25, 2014. On March 5, 2014, a music video for "Pearly Gates" was released. The video, directed by Brian Chillemi, was influenced by road movies and features bikers, a police chase and a sacrificial cult.
