HNK's 5th album is the most ambitious release to date. The overall theme and tone of the album is the fact that musicians do get older and have kids and "slow" down a bit. This new album embraces that fact and brings in an energetic and humorous quality to the songs. The songwriting has a bit of an experimental edge on some songs. HNK wasn't afraid to go with different guitar effects and song structures a little more than previous releases. The 80's theme is still there as it has and always will be the overall theme of the band itself. Punk Rock Dad still has cheeky references to popular 80's films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Child's Play, and Bill & Ted. Included in the album is a Flock of Segulls cover which was a suggestion from a fan to do years ago. Heath's personal favorite tracks from this album include License to Rock, Give Me The Cure, and Summer Fun.

80's obsessed, pizza loving, pop punk band Heath Not Keith was formed by Heath Benson in 2017 and was inspired by 80's pop culture. Influenced by old-school pop punk bands such as Screeching Weasel, The Queers, and The Ramones, one man band Heath Not Keith writes, performs, and self-produces all the music. Heath's music career spans 9 albums and 16 EP's over multiple bands and genres. Heath Not Keith came to life after thinking up an idea to form a band with songs all about 80's topics after watching "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure".  

A compilation titled "Singles Vol. 1" which compiled the first dozen singles onto one full length album was released in October 2018.  Nine songs recorded through the first half of 2019 were compiled together to form "Singles, Vol. 2" in the summer of 2019.  After almost a year of hibernation, Heath Not Keith returned with a new 4 song EP titled "Timewarp".  The new songs take Heath Not Keith in a more fast paced, and harder rock approach which is hinted at in a few early songs. "Riding the Big Bad Wolf" and "Use the Force" are the latest singles.  These songs and more will be included in the "Singles, Vol. 3" compilation at the end of the year.  "Singles, Vol. 3" marks the end of the "Singles Trilogy" set forth in 2017.  

In 2021, Heath Not Keith plans to record a self-titled 8-track proper album which will step away from individual song releases and more into actual album releases.
