Ya know how that cornball Joel Osteen always tells a “joke” before his creepy TV sermons? Sorta like an icebreaker before they ask for money in the name of Jayzuss? We always feel an obligation so say something funny too, so here’s a joke for ya: fuck Joel Osteen.

The tl;dr version is this: Broadway Calls is working on a new album to be released on Red Scare in 2020. Better yet, we’re re-issuing their amazing 2007 self-titled album on all digital outlets and Bandcamp.

But since this is such joyous news, we better get into some details, right? They sent us demos and it was a couple songs of like 80’s-era “rock-punk” like Wipers and Replacements and SST stuff. The band was clearly evolving with a new tasteful angle, and THEN we heard four more demos and they were all super melodic punky fun-times jams. Absolute BANGERS. So it’ll probably be a cool combination of those two tasty flavors, and they’ll record it this year and we should have it out by early 2020. Got it? We good? Cool. They’re playing occasional shows too, so look out for that and stay tuned for more good news.
