You Say Party! We Say Die! from the great white North (or Canada if you prefer) are coming back with a vengeance. Not only is there news of a new album but there is also the news of a new tour and the unveiling of a new track. There is only one thing I can say about that, exclamation point (!).
Their album, XXXX, is coming out on February ninth via Paperbag Records and was produced by Howard Redekopp. As always you should expect the trademark YSP!WSD! sound, mixing some funk, dance, and punk into an exciting mix. Check out “Dark Days” below for a taste of what’s to come. Tracklist and album art below.
