Mean Jeans' new EP

Posted in Records on April 9, 2022

Mean Jeans released a new 3-song EP yesterday, a digital EP titled Hits From The Bog, courtesy of Fat Wreck Chords.

"We just unearthed some recordings that got lost in the bog somewhere along the way," the band says in a statement. "Listening back, I have to wonder what we were smoking at the time, cuz there's definitely some saxophone, a single jazz chord, and we've betrayed the '4 chords per song' rule. Still I think they'll appeal to anyone feeling possessed by junk food and/or slime."

The EP preludes an upcoming tour with The Chats -- dates below.
