Ska-punk vets Mustard Plug not only survived the ’90s US ska boom, they’ve made some of their best music on their more recent albums, so it’s very good news that they’ve just announced their first LP in nearly a decade, Where Did All My Friends Go?. It comes out September 8 via Bad Time Records, and we’ve got an exclusive mustard yellow & black pinwheel vinyl variant up for pre-order now. It’s limited to just 250 copies. Check out a mock-up below.
The album was produced by the Descendents’ Bill Stevenson and his studio partner Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room, and first single “Fall Apart” sounds like classic Mustard Plug. It’s as rippin’ as their beloved ’90s records, and it still sounds fresh today. Check it out below.
Mustard Plug also have lots of tour dates coming up, including shows with The Slackers, The Toasters, Big D and the Kids Table, Matamoska!, Something To Do, Half Past Two, and The Fest.
As mentioned, the run with The Slackers hits NYC on December 16 at Brooklyn Bowl. All dates are listed below.
