It’s a real problem (note: it isn’t) affecting America today. Entire bars, bowling alleys, and Guitar Center franchises are empty. The dudes have gone. They’re disappearing faster than those honey bees that are “mysteriously” dying off because humans can’t take care of the Earth and shit. Dudes. Where have you gone, Dudes? The rallying cry sounds out across these United States.
But hold your heads up, purveyors of PBR and loose-fitting jeans! New Jersey-bred garage punks Titus Andronicus have a new album out on XL Recordings, called Local Business (TMT Review). And to rep that album, they’re embarking with their friends The So So Glos on a long and sweaty US tour, which they have dubbed the Bring Back the Dudes Tour. Bring ‘em back! If there’s anything America needs in her hour of strife, it’s DUDES. And of course, limited-edition Record Store Day 12-inch EPs, which the dudes in Titus Andronicus have been kind enough to put together. Aptly titled Record Store Day, the band’s offering will include one track from Local Business (“Still Life with Hot Deuce and Silver Platter”), plus two previously unreleased songs “(I’ve Got A) Date Tonight” and “The Dog.” ‘Merica thanks you, Titus Andronicus. In Dudes We Trust.
