Shudder to Think Share First New Songs in Nearly 30 Years

""The new songs are the first of a trove of new songs we're working on together, all of which feel very much like Shudder to Think," said lead vocalist Craig Wedren in a press statement. "To keep things playful and raw-ish, we have been doing almost everything ourselves in my backyard studio (Pink Ape Studios, Los Angeles) with some remote overdubbing from our various home studios. What you hear is us, together, hard at play!""

"Shudder to Think are in the midst of their first tour in 17 years, featuring the band's same lineup as their Pony Express Record era, which was their fifth album and major label debut; Wedren is on lead vocals and guitar; Jherek Bischoff is on bass; Nathan Larson and Clint Walsh play guitar; and Adam Wade is on drums."

Washington, D.C. post-hardcore band Shudder to Think released two new songs, "Thirst Walk" and "Playback," their first new music in nearly 30 years, with a 7" vinyl on Dischord Records. The tracks are presented as the first of a trove of new material that the band is working on together. Much of the recording was done in a backyard studio (Pink Ape Studios, Los Angeles) with remote overdubs from members' home studios. The band is on its first tour in 17 years with the Pony Express Record-era lineup: Wedren, Jherek Bischoff, Nathan Larson, Clint Walsh, and Adam Wade. Four shows remain in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The band's most recent album was 50,000 B.C. (1997), followed by original film scores and a live album.
