"We've been talking for years now about getting as many of the covers we've done for specific territories together and releasing them for all to hear. It's finally happening," says The Dandy Warhols' Zia McCabe of the group's new all-cover album. With a nod to Bowie (who they don't cover), it's titled PIN UPS, and will be out March 20 via Beat The World/Little Cloud Records.
It features a recording from their first show as a hardcore band, on New Year's Eve 1980 (following their even earlier days as a no wave-inspired band), an Adolescents cover, two Black Flag covers, and more.
A new tribute album titled Killed By Deaf - A Punk Tribute to Motörhead has been announced, featuring covers of the legendary band's songs by notable punk bands, including Rancid, Pennywise, The Bronx, FEAR, and more. The compilation also includes a never-before-released collab between Motörhead and The Damned on the latter's "Neat Neat Neat," which can be streamed below. Killed By Deaf - A Punk Tribute to Motörhead is set to arrive on October 31st via BMG Recordings,
"This is something we've talked about doing for a while now," Real Estate frontman Martin Courtney said in a press statement. "The title comes from the lyrics to an unreleased song we recorded during the Atlas sessions at Wilco's loft in Chicago back in 2013, which in turn references a great Frank Sinatra record. This feels to us like a worthy addition to the catalog and we hope you all love it."
