Recorded live to tape in just 5 days by venerated underground engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Shellac, Pixies) ’24-7 Rock Star Shit’ marks a return to the bands early roots with it’s raw, rough-around-the-edges approach and sonic aggression. Originally conceived during recording sessions for the bands fifth album ‘In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull’ these recordings were elevated to qua-si-mythical status amongst the bands famously dedicated fan-base, with ex-citement building for a “punk album” flipside to 2015’s more pop-leaning ‘For All My Sisters’. Originally intended as an EP, once sessions were completed the band found that they had recorded enough material for an album and decided it should be released that way instead.
