The So So Glos are staying true to their DIY roots as they release their new 5-song EP, Low Back Chain Shift on Oct. 12 via Green Owl. The band is touring the 5 boroughs from Oct. 21-25, including an Oct. 22 Force Field PR CMJ showcase at Piano's. These shows look mighty packed, fun, and awesome.

Along the way, the Glos have earned a reputation for a ripping live show, which they've brought to all-ages clubs, fans' kitchens, scene fundraisers and traditional venues alike. They've also constructed (literally) a new performance space and HQ, Shea Stadium, which has hosted punk rock fetes as well as overnight dance parties with Danceteria and avant 1980s DJs. October brings a fresh EP recorded at the Rare Book Room by Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Fiery Furnaces, Animal Collective). Naturally, it's named Low Back Chain Shift, after a distinct facet of the New York drawl.
