Bash & Pop’s make up features Stinson on vocals and guitar, backed by lead guitarist Steve “The Sleeve” Selvidge (The Hold Steady), drummer Joe “The Kid” Sirois (Mighty Mighty BossTones) and bassist Justin “Carl” Perkins (Screeching Weasel).

In a statement announcing the new LP, Stinson said he craved the band format again after piecemeal recordings of two solos albums. “I found myself longing to make a record in the same way that we made the early Replacements records: live, in the studio, as a band” he said.

“Since early 2015 I’ve been recording new songs with new and old friends, cutting all of them as live as possible without losing too much fidelity nor over-thinking the songs.”
