Following the release of their new single “The Summer of Hate” and its accompanying A.I.-generated music video, the Dandy Warhols have announced a Spring 2024 tour of North America. Hipster publication BrooklynVegan says the band’s new single, “The Summer of Hate,” represents “a new, heavier direction for the band” and post-punk characterized as “a dark-rock manifesto about this chaotic moment in American history.” The tour follows a recent trek with the Black Angels and comes in advance of a run of dates in Australia slated for April 2024.

Musically, the group pays homage to the Damned, the MC5 and the Stooges with the retro-sounding “The Summer of Hate.”

“The record was the manifestation of our desire to hear a record of heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs handled in a way that we felt was cooler than the standard knuckle draggin’ man-rock that still tends to dominate a lot of popular culture in America,” says band leader Courtney Taylor-Taylor in a press release.

Known for other alt-rock hits such as “Bohemian Like You,” “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth,” “Have a Kick Ass Summer (Me and My Friends)” and “We Used to Be Friends,” the band is currently working on the follow-up to 2020’s experimental concept album Tafelmuzik Means More When You’re Alone and the 2023 digital EP The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
