In November, Frank Turner will release a twenty one track rarities compilation focusing on recordings from 2011-2014.
‘The Third Three Years’ follows popular similarly themed comps ‘The First Three Years’ and ‘The Second Three Years’, now available via Xtra Mile Recordings.
The full details – including tracklist – are laid out in the press release below.
On ‘Don’t Be Shy’ – the second release from New York’s Big Huge – the band blends punky sensibilities with a ferocious new wave energy that instantly conjures up images guys decked out skinny ties and sunglasses. Pulling various influences from the end of the seventies, the five songs on the EP throttle past at a speed that’s pretty impressive. Imagine Kurt Baker in a garage band playing after a weekend long amphetamine bender, or the tunes from the long-unreleased album by Texas power poppers True Hearts played at three times the speed and you’ll be halfway towards the band’s core sound.
At the end of September, US swing band Cherry Poppin’ Daddies embark on a European tour to promote their 2013 album ‘White Teeth, Black Thoughts’ (issued in the UK in 2014). The tour includes a rare visit to the UK – the full list of dates can be found here.
To coincide with the tour, they’ve also issued a new Addams Family themed video clip for ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ which can be seen below.
Self-proclaimed “sweaty, sexy dance punk” band Kill Matilda will be spreading their punky sounds all across Canada and the US from now right through ’til the middle of February on a mammoth run of tour dates which began a few nights ago.
A full list of confirmed Kill Matilda live shows can be seen in the poster below (click to enlarge).
To coincide with the release of their new album, punk stalwarts Lagwagon head out for a US/Canadian tour in November, with support from Swingin’ Utters and This Legend.
All confirmed dates are listed below. Lagwagon release ‘Hang On’ via Fat Wreck Chords on October 28th.
