Batlimore’s Angel Du$t, who share a few members with Turnstile, started out as a hardcore band but somehow ended up as a really good power-pop band. Today, they’re announcing a new album called YAK: A Collection Of Truck Songs, once again produced by Rob Schnapf and fashioned as a playlist rather than a capital-R Record.
“People get really married to the idea of making a record that sounds like the same band,” says vocalist/guitarist Justice Tripp, who also fronts Trapped Under Ice. “If one song to the next doesn’t sound like it’s coming from the same band, I’m ok with that.”
YAK: A Collection Of Truck Songs features a duet with Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, several songs that appeared on their recent EP Bigger House, and a new one called “Big Bite.” Listen to that and watch its Ian Shelton-directed music video below.
