Another addition to the upcoming EP?
After dropping his long-awaited sixth studio album, With Heaven On Top back in January, Zach Bryan has been hitting the road hard on his current international run of shows, With Heaven On Tour. Kicking off back in March, the “Something in the Orange” singer has already played sold-out shows at Bank of America Stadium, Raymond James Stadium, Memorial Stadium and more here in the U.S. He’s also hit the likes of the U.K., Spain, Germany, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands across the pond, selling out there as well.
Though he’s been on tour internationally for the majority of the year, Bryan took most of July off. In typical fashion, however, he was far from off the grid. Returning to social media after being deactivated on most accounts, he went back to the basics on the 4th of July weekend, taking to YouTube on July 3rd to tease “Lodi When” once again. Additionally, he’d post a full-length teaser of a brand-new track, “Better Friends.” In the caption of both of these videos, which have since been deleted, the Oklahoma native revealed that he has a new EP on the way with an incredibly interesting, for lack of a better word, name called Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs:
“A snippet of ‘Lodi When’ off the new EP, ‘Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs’”
Since announcing the EP, we still haven’t gotten word on an official release date. With that being said, however, we now have a ballpark for when it’s finally coming. During his show at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah, on August 8th, the Oklahoma native would tell the crowd that the EP is confirmed to come out in October before performing the aforementioned “Lodi When.”
This past weekend, Bryan made a one-night stop at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. After performing past hits like “Something in the Orange” and “Motorcycle Drive By,” early in the set, he’d keep the momentum going by teasing yet another brand new track with another interesting title: “Robot Killed The Working Man.”

After telling the crowd he had just finished the song earlier in the week, Bryan would deliver a lengthy 5+ minute performance of the new track. Continuing his penchant for penning songs about hot-button issues, as we saw with his “anti-ICE” anthem, “Bad News,” earlier in the year, here, the 30-year-old singer/songwriter takes aim at the rise of AI and data centers on “Robot Killed The Working Man.”
Lamenting the fact that his home doesn’t feel the same anymore, highlighted by unemployment and degradation of the land, Bryan launches into the scathing chorus. Here, he likens the rise of AI and technology as a whole to a death sentence for the working class, noting they “sealed up the coffin” and “sold off the land.”
“The robot killed the working man
Took the damn hammer right out of his hands
Sealed up the coffin, sold off the land
Repressed a good boy with machines in their hand
Sooner or later, more soon than not
Them home-grown tomatoes are ripe then they rot
For no rhyme or reason, no helping hand
The day the robot killed the working man”
As of now, it’s not confirmed if “Robot Killed The Working Man” will appear on Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs. With that being said, however, it seems incredibly likely given the fact that Bryan has debuted and continued to play a plethora of songs that have been confirmed for the EP.
