Beach Slang streaming 'A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings'

Next week, Beach Slang will return with their second album, less than a year after their excellent 2015 debut. It’s called A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings, and like with last year’s The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us, the ‘Slang really know how to name ’em. That title is as good a description as any for what these songs sound like: Westerberg-ian punk rock gut-punches with the bittersweet drunkenness of living every night like it’s your last. You’ve heard a few songs from the record, and now you can hear all 10 (which clock in at under a half hour), via NPR:

Beach Slang have a zillion upcoming tour dates as usual, including a release show in NYC with Chris Gethard and Mikey Erg’s Smiths cover band. That’s sure to be a wild night, and it goes down September 27 at Rough Trade. Tickets are still available.

The album is out September 23 via Polyvinyl. Order yours.

UPDATE: Beach Slang also cover Japandroids for Polyvinyl’s new 20th anniversary compilation. Listen HERE.
