Great Cynics announce new album and Australian tour
London/Devon punk outfit Great Cynics have announced the release of their as-yet-untitled third LP on Specialist Subject early next year. It has been mixed and mastered already, and will feature Ian Graham from Cheap Girls.
Great Cynics' frontman Giles Bidder spoke in a statement about the two announcements:
"It's so awesome to be brought over to Australia by our friends The Smith Street Band. We're a little band from London and Devon, and we're going to the other side of the world to tour for five weeks! It's wild! We're also just about finished making our new full-length, which will be out in Spring next year on a label we love."
Great Cynics will be touring alongside The Smith Street Band, Pup and Apart From This.
