Renowned indie band Bad Bad Hats has teamed up with Don Giovanni Records for their next record, called Walkman, set to hit streets on Sept. 17.

The Minneapolis, MN-based 3-piece shared a single last month, "Detroit Basketball" from the upcoming release, which takes influence from a call-and-response used at Little Caesars Arena but repurposed for melodic flair here.
