Pile Hairshirt

Pile releasing 'A Hairshirt of Purpose,' touring (dates & song stream)

Boston rockers Pile will follow 2015’s You’re Better Than This with a new album, A Hairshirt of Purpose, on March 31 via Exploding In Sound (pre-order). Lead single “Texas” is filled with brainy riffage, Rick Maguire’s twangy drawl, and a lot of yelling too. It’s kinda part DC post-hardcore, part Seattle grunge, and you can stream it below.

Pile will begin a tour in their hometown a few days after the album drops, and then they’ll make their way to Brooklyn for shows on April 6 at Baby’s All Right and April 7 at Shea Stadium. Most dates are with Gnarwhal, but openers are TBA for the Brooklyn shows (and the Cambridge show). Tickets for Baby’s and Shea go on sale Friday (1/20) at noon. All dates are listed below.
