Pissed Jeans announce new album and Dublin show

American hardcore punk band Pissed Jeans have announced their upcoming album Half Divorced, along with a show in Dublin’s Whelan’s on April 3 2024.

The new LP, out March 1 via Sub Pop, is the group’s sixth, with the video for the project’s lead single and video ‘Moving On’ available to stream now.

The theme of 'divorce' is said to go hand-in-hand with the sentiments of humiliation and shame present on the record.

“If you say something enough or if you just allow it to exist publicly, then it loses its evil monster-in-the-closet thing,” said singer Matt Korvette.

“Half Divorced has an aggression within it, in terms of saying, I don’t want this reality. There’s a power in being able to say, ‘I realize you want me to pay attention to these things, but I’m telling you that they don’t matter.’ I’m already looking elsewhere.

“We’re not the kind of band that bangs out a new record every two years,” he added. “Pissed Jeans is truly like an art project for us, which is what makes it so fun.”

In the UK and Europe, LP orders of Half Divorced from independent retail stores will receive the Loser Edition on Coke Bottle Green vinyl.

A UK-only Magenta vinyl edition will also be available to preorder through Mega Mart 2 and Rough Trade Shops.

Tickets to Pissed Jean's Whelan's show start from €28, and can be bought via the venue's website.
