It’s been a minute since we’ve heard new music from the one-and-only Joey Cape; three-and-a-half years worth of minutes, to be more precise. But don’t worry boys and girls…the wait is almost over!

Today, The Bullshit One announced plans for a brand new full-length album. It’s called Let Me Know When You Give Up, and it’s due out on July 5th via his longtime label home, Fat Wreck Chords. Pre-orders are available already by clicking here.

To get you ready for what’s to come, you can check out the lead single, “I Know How To Run,” below.

Depending on how you keep score, Joey Cape’s last album was either his 2016 One Week Records release of reworked Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut songs or, more probably, his 2015 Fat Wreck Chords full-length, Stitch Puppy.

Australian ukulele enthusiast Luke Seymoup is streaming the first single off his new album Poke’Gods, out May 27th. It’s called “Spooky” and it’s about spooky monsters, naturally.

Of the album, Symoup says, “A tribute to the early days of Poke’mon and the Wild West days of the World Wide Web. When instructions to find rare, unheard of Poke’mon could be found on Angelfire and Geocities websites and then spread by word of mouth as if they were fact.

Mew is under the truck.

There is a secret garden behind Bill’s house.

If you find the Mist Stone, your Poke’mon will evolve into Poke’Gods.”

Listen to “Spooky” below.

Jon Shaban said of the tour, “We’re so amped to be heading back to the UK for the first time in 2 years to launch “Can You Hear us at the Back”. We’ve spent the last 2 months touring around Europe and South Africa and the response to the new album has been amazing and even overwhelming at times. For the UK leg of the tour we are visiting some familiar towns but also some new ones we’ve never played in before. We can’t wait to see some new places and take our new record over to England for the first time”
