Gob Returning with First Album in 7 Years
BC pop-punk favourites Gob are back and will release, Apt. 13, their first new studio album since 2007’s Muertos Vivos. It will be available on August 26 through New Damage Records, but can be pre-ordered on all formats (digital, CD, vinyl) beginning in June. A special digital deluxe edition of the offering – which features three extra tracks – will come out exclusively through iTunes.
Apt. 13 is a 10-song, self-produced affair that is said to lean “less towards the straight-up pop influence of its predecessors and puts focus on a fuller, more layered rock sound that includes sonic elements of decades past.”
Leading up to the album’s release, Gob will perform at a number of Canadian music fesitvals this summer, but are in also in the midst of planning a national headlining tour.
Gob originally formed in 1993, and is currently comprised of Tom Thacker (vocals, guitar), Theo Goutzinakis (vocals, guitar), Gabe Mantle (drums), and Steven Fairweather (bass)
