Plague Vendor share new single “Let Me Get High\Low”

Plague Vendor have revealed their new single“Let Me Get High\Low,” the latest from their upcoming album By Night. The psychelia-tinged track is an infinity mirror of echo, effects, illusion and delusion and follows the release of “All of the Above,” a brooding track that sees an internal monologue disintegrating over a sci-fi punk drumbeat, and raw, vital lead single “New Comedown.” Listen to “Let Me Get High\Low” HERE.

By Night is set for release on June 7 via Epitaph Records and sees Plague Vendor stretch and warp their songs, discovering a merciless sense of tension and apprehension that set every moment on edge. A fearless our-way-is-the-hard-way work ethic and famously physical live shows won the Southern California-based band a ferocious fan base and place of pride on the Epitaph Records roster.

The band will bring their epic live show to the stage this summer at UK’s Reading and Leeds Festivals in August. Look for additional European/U.K. tour dates to be announced soon.

The 10-song By Night was produced by John Congleton (St Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Chelsea Wolfe) and recorded at legendary EastWest Studios (Brian Wilson, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop), capturing the feeling of ruin and regeneration, of charisma and catastrophe and of slashing at-the-night with nothing but pure electricity. With Congleton’s precision production, Plague Vendor found their own way between the powerful-but-too-polished sound of right now and the engaging-but-aging reinterpretations of classic punk/rock albums of the 60s and 70s. Congleton’s limitless encouragement also led Plague Vendor to do things they never did before: chorused bass in endless waves, lightning-strike flashes of synth, motorik man-machine drums that sound inhuman and human at once and even a string section that’ll be a surprise if they ever do it live. The album is the follow up to their 2016 debut full-length BLOODSWEAT and their widely-acclaimed debut EP Free to Eat.

Plague Vendor is Brandon Blaine (vocals), Michael Perez (bass), Luke Perine (drums and percussion) and Jay Rogers (guitar).

PRESS QUOTES

“(‘New Comedown’) starts out with the band keeping their cool but eventually erupts into the kind of insanity Plague Vendor are usually known for.
– Brooklyn Vegan

“(‘New Comedown’) sets the tone with a punishing bass line and one of Blaine’s best vocal performances to date.”
– Paste Magazine

“SoCal’s furious post-punks return with a new album and the same badass attitude… unpredictable performance style and indefatigable energy”
– Alternative Press

“Plague Vendor’s special brand of darkly tinged tunes. A taught rhythm section, buzz-saw guitars and a heavy dousing of Blaine like an auditory cobra — spitting venom, etching his lyrics into your eardrums.”
