| Punk legends Circle Jerks were supposed to reunite this year for the first time in over a decade to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their classic 1980 debut album Group Sex, but obviously the pandemic had other plans. However, the band have just announced that they'll give the album a deluxe reissue on October 30 via Matt Pincus (Judge) and Joe Nelson's new label Trust Records. The reissue comes with a a bonus recording of a 1980 rehearsal; a 20-page booklet featuring rare and unreleased photos, flyers, and "behind the scene stories" by Tony Hawk, Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), Shepard Fairey, Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi), Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), Mike Ness (Social Distortion), Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Epitaph Records), and more; and deluxe packaging by Robert Fisher, who designed Nirvana's Nevermind. |
