New album ‘Hymns From The Hills’ out next friday, April 3 via Relapse Records. North America Tour kicks off April 11 at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom.

On new single band’s trademark driving rhythms seamlessly descend into slow-burn bridge build, effortlessly marrying the sweaty, sing-song punch of the Ramones with the infinite psych-space of a cynicism-fried Hawkwind. Lyricist / songwriter Mac Kennedy cautions against falling into the paralysis of false moral purity and petty fantasies of self-preservation. Song is the final single ahead of the release of their forthcoming album. Across its vital 13 tracks, group ambitiously rewrite the rules of what punk is capable of achieving, pushing their sound into expansive new terrains without sacrificing an ounce of the bleak symbolism and uncompromising aggression that first established them as an urgent new voice in the world of extreme music.
