New Dears download

Taken from their forthcoming fifth album Degeneration Street, 'Blood' (which you can hear for yourself below) is the first taster of the Montreal band's new material. Download or stream, the choice is yours.

Degeneration Street, the follow-up to 2008's Missiles, is scheduled for release on March 14.

Remarkably, considering mainman Murray A Lightburn's penchant for scaring away band members, the 2011 incarnation of The Dears remains relatively unchanged in terms of line-up, aside from new drummer Jeff Luciani.
