In 2010, Genghis Tron went on hiatus. The band returns to action in 2020, announcing this week that they are working on their third full-length album, to be produced by Kurt Ballou. The lineup also features two new members. Vocalist Mookie Singerman is no longer with the group, and Genghis Tron now features new members vocalist Tony Wolski and drummer Nick Yacyshyn (Sumac/Baptists) alongside founding members Hamilton Jordan and Michael Sochynsky.

The band's previous records, Board Up The House and Dead Mountain Mouth were recently reissued on vinyl by Relapse Records.

The currently untitled new record is expected to release in 2021, also on Relapse.

Dead Mountain Mouth
Crucial Blast (2006)

It sounds a bit off-putting, like a botched crossbreeding that has yielded mentally handicapped offspring in the form of songs that should have never been written. That's the way it usually … Read more
