Iron Lung Records has announced Once Again The Present Becomes The Past, a new LP by Alien Nosejob (aka Jake Robertson). Having released Suddenly Everything Is Twice As Loud earlier this year, Robertson is back with a new record described as "finally high-octane hardcore punk side" of the band. Unlike its predecessor, which genre-hopped within the general garage-punk realm, Once Again... is more comparable to the project's HC45 7".

The record releases Oct. 2 on Iron Lung (USA) and Anti Fade Records (Australia).
