DEER TICK. WE’VE FUCKING SIGNED DEER TICK!! HELL YEAH!
More gratuitous swearing ahead as we’re clearly very excited about this. And rightly so as their new album, Divine Providence, is pretty fucking amazing. Divine Providence will see its European release through Loose on 2nd April, just ahead of their London show at The Garage on the 4th April. (Tickets HERE.)
The best way to get a little taster of the album is by checking out THIS awesome video for Main Street. However, if fireworks, destruction and urinating on burning drumkits aren’t really your thing, you may prefer THIS version on Letterman. Less pissing & explosives, more suits & ties. Something for everyone. And HERE‘s the band playing Funny Word live on Conan O’Brien last month. Also pretty awesome.

The Champs’ returned from Spain & France last week, having totally rocked the shit out of each venue, debuting some brand new songs along the way.
Check out THIS acoustic session they did for Spain’s Radio 3. 24 minutes in is a good place to skip to.
The band also appeared on the front page of MSN España. Oh, hang on, what was that title? “The new Springsteen is English” ? Yes, that’s definitely what they said. (That’d be Danny then.)
