Beach Slang at Knitting Factory in July (more by Amanda Hatfield)

Beach Slang will follow their great 2015 debut album with A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings on September 23 via Polyvinyl. Since we last spoke, they made a video for lead single “Punks in a Disco Bar.” It was directed by Jason Lester and shot on Super 8, and it stars the kind of freaks that also often star in Beach Slang lyrics. Check it out below. Beach Slang singer James Alex also recently posted a cover of Liz Phair’s 1994 song “Chopsticks,” and you can watch the video of that below too.

Beach Slang are always touring, and they’ve added even more dates. That includes a release show in NYC on September 27 at Rough Trade. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (8/12) at noon. That’s a few weeks after their free show at Montauk’s Surf Lodge. Updated dates — including a run with Bleached — are listed below.
