John Dwyer's Osees took a relatively lengthy break (by their standards) after releasing last year's Intercepted Message, but now, the band is back with plans for a new one — SORCS 80 is due to arrive via Castle Face Records on August 9.
Dwyer and co. are previewing the effort with lead single "CASSIUS, BRUTUS & JUDAS," which the frontman describes as "a song about betrayal and how it's often fueled by fear, greed and cowardice."
He elaborated in a release, "Three classic betrayers contemplated through the lens of 20/20 hindsight punk song. How anybody has bandwidth for keeping people like this in your orbit I'll never know."
Check that out below, where you can also find the album's tracklist.
Osees hit the road today for their European/UK tour. They'll return to North America at the end of August for another leg of shows, however, there are no dates in Canada as of yet.
