Local punk band Bastards of Young announced earlier today that the group’s new album, White Knuckles, is set to drop on April 7 via San Diego’s La Escalera Records.

Beyond that, they’ll be kicking off a six-stop tour on March 18, according to a post on their Facebook page. The tour includes a show with 7 Seconds and the Knockoffs at Blue Lamp on, again, April 7. More information on that can be found at www.facebook.com/events/580472998784981.

Until then, you’ll have to settle for this sweet one-song sample of the new album. Fans of gritty alt-punk, get in here.
