Sex Stains, a band featuring Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile), will release a self-titled debut album on Spet. 2 on Don Giovanni Records.

Descibed as "inspired by the late '70s and early '80s post-punk," the band blends harsh sounds with dance rhythms, including in the leaked preview of "Don't Hate Me 'Cuz I'm Beautiful" streaming below.
