Rodeo Boys prep new LP prod. The Menzingers’ Tom May, touring with Laura Jane Grace
The album comes out in April via Don Giovanni.
Lansing, Michigan’s Rodeo Boys have announced a new album, Junior, produced by Tom May of recent tourmates The Menzingers and due out April 25 via Don Giovanni (pre-order). A press release says that “half of the tracks on Junior are no-nonsense anthems of revenge, and the other half are tales of desperate gay love and queer identity,” and first single “All American Man” is the latter. It takes inspiration from Laura Gilpin’s poem Two-Headed Calf, which guitarist/vocalist Tiff Hannay also namedrops in the lyrics, and it’s a ragged indie-punk anthem that hits hard right away. Listen and watch the video (by Nick Couture) below.
Rodeo Boys also have an upcoming tour with Laura Jane Grace, followed by dates supporting Catbite. All dates are listed below.
