BY Josiah HughesPublished Oct 2, 2014

Calgary power-pop punks the Mandates released their debut album last year, and they've finally followed it up with a brand new 7-inch.


 The group, which features past and present members of bands like No Problem, Chixdiggit, the Dudes and many more, stay strictly within their realm of '77 punk and timeless rock'n'roll, pairing rippin' guitar riffs with heartfelt singalongs on new tracks "Suspicion" and "Wastin' Time."

If you live in Western Canada, you should familiarize yourself with the songs now, as the group will bring their new release through Victoria, Vancouver and Calgary on a short weekend jaunt with Ottawa's Steve Adamyk Band.

Check out the tour dates and give the new record a spin below.

Tour dates:

10/02 Victoria, BC - Logan's Pub
10/03 Vancouver, BC - Astoria
10/04 Calgary, AB - Palomino
