Canshaker Pi Announce 'Naughty Naughty Violence' Album, Share New Single

BY Matt BobkinPublished Mar 1, 2018

Having spent the last few years supporting artists such as Car Seat Headrest, Parquet Courts and the Cribs, Amsterdam-based rock quartet Canshaker Pi have announced their sophomore record. Naughty Naughty Violence is due May 4 on Excelsior Recordings.

Along with the tracklist and artwork comes cheeky lead single "Put a Record Out," which finds them adding a post-punk flair and the Fall-esque cynicism to their off-kilter rock sound. Say the band about the new track, "To us, 'Put a Record Out' is the ultimate party noise and our take on what true and epic motorcycle rock'n'roll should sound like."

You can hear "Put a Record Out" below.

Naughty Naughty Violence follows Canshaker Pi's 2016 self-titled debut, which was produced by Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus; the band spent their time between records doubling down on their Pavement influence thanks to a European tour opening for Malkmus's former bandmate, Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg.
