Joey Cape släpper nytt!

Joey Cape (sångare i Lagwagon) släpper nytt soloalbum till hösten, närmare bestämt den 4 september. Så här skriver Fat Wreck Chords om skivsläppet:

Joey Cape will be the first to tell you that the past few years haven’t exactly been the easiest on him. Of course, there’s the problems that affect many an aging punk—Joey is closing in on 50, and it’s not like there’s a pension plan for punk rock—but then there are the permanent departures that continue to mount as a scene that was built on the “live fast, die young” mantra is now losing some of its finest members. It’s a huge reason why Lagwagon’s most recent album, 2014’s incredible Hang, was, well, pretty fuckin’ dark, from the lyrical content to the noose on the cover art. So when you first fire up Joey’s new solo album, Stitch Puppy, you might think you’ll be in for a downer—and, yeah, you’ll get that, at times. But it’s really so much more. But you’ll need to wait until Stitch Puppy’s release—September 4th–to sink your teeth into it and discover the beauty and the darkness for yourself.

RAWcumentary: Lagwagon & Swingin´Utters

Raw Cut Media har släppt en liten dokumentär om 2 legendariska punkband från Kalifornien, Lagwagon & Swingin´ Utters.

Last November we met up in Toronto with two legendary California bands, Lagwagon and Swingin’ Utters, to begin shooting a 3 day short documentary. Dave Raun, drummer of the almighty Wagon, greeted us outside of the tour bus when we arrived. Last time we saw Dave we were passing a tequila bottle around as we meandered our way down the Ottawa River on a pontoon boat at 2:00am, after a Motley Crue show. But that’s a story for another time…So, we made our way inside the Opera House to the backstage area, and met up with the rest of LW and the Utters. After loosening up with a few Jamesons, we got right down to shooting video. For the next 3 days, we called Lagwagons 45 foot tour bus home. We shot shows at packed venues, interviews in pyjamas and candid late night bus conversations. This mini doc is a behind the scenes look into the lives of two Fat Wreck Chords label mates, friends and long time musicians. Check it out. Party on.
