Good news! Lagwagon will release “Railer”, their ninth full length album on October 4 through Fat Wreck Chords.
Alongside the announcement, the band have released “Bubble” – the first single from the album – today. “The idea of that song was to embrace and appreciate what you have,” explains frontman Joey Cape on “Bubble”, “I really specifically tried to make it feel and sound like an old Lagwagon song, so I borrowed a lot from early records for it. And then from there, I just kept thinking that the rules have to be that ‘RAILER’ feels like something Lagwagon might have done in the old days. I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t overthink things and I just tried to write a record as quickly as possible without losing the quality I expect from myself as a songwriter.”
The band have also announced a stack of tour dates in North America and Europe – check out the dates and the video below.
You can pre-order “Railer” right now.
