Shellshag released 'Why'd I Have To Get So High?,' going on tour (dates, new video); Bad Canoes have a new EP

Shellshag

DIY duo Shellshag continue to be regulars on the Brooklyn scene, and this past Friday (10/2) they released their fifth album, Why’d I Have To Get So High?, on Don Giovanni. It was recorded by Jerri Queen, singer of their labelmates Vacation, and John Petty. We’ve got the premiere of the video for “’90s Problem” from that album, which features illustrations by Melissa Guachun. Watch below.

Shellshag also have a lengthy tour coming up that begins this week and continues through December. It concludes with a hometown show on December 12 at The Bell House with their labelmates Downtown Boys, Vacation and Bad Canoes. Tickets are on sale now. All dates, including New Brunswick, Trenton, Hudson, Kingston and more, are listed below.

Bad Canoes, one of the many projects of Screaming Females’ Marissa Paternoster, have a new self-titled EP recorded by Swearin’ guitarist/vocalist Kyle Gilbride. Listen to that below too…
