After self-releasing their first album, Kind Beast has joined Don Giovanni Records, which will release Dirty Realism on Dec. 8.

The Detroit, MI based band features Sean Madigan Hoen (Thoughts Of Ionesco), Dan Jaquint (Small Brown Bike), Sean Bondareff (Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels), and Martin Rogers, and initially formed when the long acquainted Michigan musicians Jaquint and Madigran Hoen were living in New York. The two eventually returned to Michigan and filled out the lineup listed above.

The band previously released You Know I Used to Dance.

4. Cry Without Shame
