Weed releasing an LP (stream a track), on tour now (dates)

May 20, 2013

Weed

Vancouver’s Weed make the kind of sludgy, melodic rock that bands like California X have also been helping to revive lately, and if you liked Cali X’s album, or you know, Dinosaur Jr., this band is for you. They’ve got a few EPs/singles under their belt, including 2012’s Gun Control, and their debut album, Deserve, will be out this July via Couple Skate Records. The album’s first single, “Set Me Back,” is less lo-fi than the band’s past releases and even more hooky. Check it out below.

Weed are currently on a tour with Cascadia which comes to NYC this month for a show at Death by Audio on May 29 with Call of the Wild (who also play with Eat Skull soon) and Giant Peach. Admission for that show is $7 at the door.

All dates are listed, along with the song stream, below…
