Pinhead Gunpowder has shared the new song "Unt," the lead track and title track from a new album out on Oct. 18. The new record releases on 1-2-3-4 Go Records and I sthe band's first new music since a 7" in 2008, West Side Highway.
The band features a lineup of Billie Joe Armstrong, Aaron Cometbus, Jason White, and BIll Schneider. There are 14 songs on the new album.
The band says:
Pinhead Gunpowder started writing songs in 1990 and made our first 7” the following spring.
Nearly every year since, we’ve met up to play. Some years we recorded—five albums and eleven EPs—and some years we played shows.
But since 2010, we’ve been playing just for ourselves, something bands forget to do. Rather than “writing for the new album” or rehearsing to get ready for tour, we went back to the basement every year. We lived in the house we’d built, remembering how we’d made the music for each other in the first place. We played all over the world—well, at least Oakland, Singapore and New York—but only for each other. We worked on the reissues of our back catalog, too, and found ourselves fonder of each other and more family-like than ever.
A new record was only a matter of time, but between the members’ other bands, projects, and families that was hard to find. When we finally did, we were all surprised. We think it’s our best yet—our catchiest, most collaborative, and most poignant.
