Weed Unveil Debut Album, Map Out North American Tour

Published May 13, 2013
Having previously delivered a pair of 7-inches, Vancouver fuzz-pop quartet Weed are now ready to release their first-ever full-length. Titled Deserve, the West Coast outfit's debut LP drops July 22 through Couple Skate Records.A press release notes that while Deserve apparently mines the same sort of "sludged out West Coast youth music" that was featured on 2011's "With Drug"/"Eighty" single and 2012's Gun Control EP, this latest song cycle finds also the act at their "most melancholy and melodic." The nine-song LP was recorded down in Seattle with Dylan Wall, and you can check out a sneak peek of the set down below via the album's "Set Me Back."
Weed are also just about to embark on a spring tour that will keep them busy beneath the border. They do, however, have a homecoming show booked in Vancouver on June 16.
