Austin noise rock vets Cherubs released two albums between their formation in 1991 and breakup in 1994, their debut Icing, and followup Heroin Man. They reunited 20 years later for a third album, 2 YNFYNYTY, and made another, Immaculada High, in 2019. Now, 31 years after Icing debuted, the band have announced a trio of reissues for their first three LPs, coming in August via Brutal Panda Records. We have exclusive color vinyl variants of all three available for pre-order in the BV store.
This marks the first vinyl reissue of 2 YNFYNYTY and Icing since their initial releases, in 2014 and 1992 respectively; Heroin Man had a highly-limited reissue in 2017 via Amphetamine Reptile. Our exclusive pressings are limited to 200 copies each, with Icing on white and orange A side/B side, Heroin Man on ultra clear with black marble and neon magenta splatter, and 2 YNFYNYTY on half white, half purple. Check out mockups for all three above, and pre-order yours HERE.
Icing also comes with updated artwork by Cherubs vocalist Kevin Whitley, and a remastered and remixed version of opening track “Sugary” is out now. Listen below.
Cherubs will be on tour this summer, beginning with a run supporting Whores and continuing with headlining shows up the East Coast. They come to NYC on July 23 at TV Eye with Art Gray Noizz Quintet and A Deer A Horse. See all dates below.
