Moving away from both the ebullient punk\/power pop of 2011\u2019s Kings Of The Weekend, and the anything-goes grimy punk of 2014\u2019s Bras, this 12\u201d shows the band at their darkest, most powerful, and occasionally weirdest. The tone is dark, the lyrics are bleak and desperate, but the music is more dangerously catchy than ever. We always say this, but this truly is their strongest material yet. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>First 300 are on clear vinyl, and are available mailorder ONLY! Black vinyl also available.
