News: New Desaparedicos Album, Tour, Single
You legions of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) faithful out there will surely have heard of his short lived punk band, Desaparecidos. The band released a single album in 2002, and in true Oberst fashion, broke up because they were beginning to garner too large of a following. After that, they had a rather small reunion back in 2010, releasing a few tracks and playing a few shows, but that was really all we have heard from the band in over a decade.
Until now, that is. In a relative influx of Desaparecidos related news, they announced yesterday that they would be releasing a new full length album, their first album in 13 years, mind you, titled Payola, due out on June 23rd via Epitaph Records. Additionally, they released the first single from the album called “City On The Hill”.
This incarnation of the band features a lot of big names, including Tim Kasher of Cursive, Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! And So So Glos.
But that’s not all! They also released a series of tour dates starting tomorrow featuring Brand New, Joyce Manor, Touche Amore, and Built to Spill on various dates, and a few festivals as well. Check out after the jump for their new single, along with all upcoming tour dates:
