New Orleans punks PEARS have announced they will be releasing a new 2-song 7″ titled Letters to Memaw on September 18th through Fat Wreck Chords. Here’s what frontman Zach Quinn had to say about the EP, which is available for pre-order on Fat’s webstore:
“These are two songs from a quick session in April that subsequently got re recorded for the next full length. They were the first two written for our follow up, Snowflake is loosely about struggling to identify one’s own power, and Anhedonia is loosely about a joyless life versus oblivion. We’ll be touring with our buddies Teenage Bottlerocket through September/October, playing the fest, and then touring with our new friends in Lagwagon in October/November. New record in February. Stay tuned. This is about to get interesting.”
As mentioned in Quinn’s statement, PEARS have been working on a follow-up to their 2014 debut LP Go To Prison, which they plan on releasing sometime next year. Both tracks from Letters to Memaw will appear on the album, and one is already available to stream below.
Additionally, the band will be touring North American with Teenage Bottlerocket and Lagwagon this fall. More info on those tours can be found here and here, respectively.
