International bff’s Perfect Pussy and Joanna Gruesome have taken their friendship to a whole new level. The bands love to play shows together, having recently toured the UK together, and very soon, will be taking the States by storm. They also take the cutest group pictures. And now the bands have announced a physical ode to their friendship in the form of a split 7″. The record will include a 24 page comic by Phil McAndrew, the brother of PP guitarist Ray McAndrew, which you can preview here.
The 7″ includes new materials and covers from both bands. Perfect Pussy cover The Sugarcubes’ “Leash Called Love” as well as a new track, “Adult World (The Secret)”. Their Welsh comrades have recorded a cover of “…And Keep Reaching For Those Stars” by the ’90s emo band I Hate Myself, and a tune called “Psykick Espionage”.
The split will be released by Slumberland/Captured Tracks/Fortuna Pop later in the fall.
