Butch Walker Band

Butch Walker, aka The Fucking Man.

 

The clips he's been posting on Instagram sounds fucking terrific. Have a listen:

 

I'm the only person on AP(chorus) who does not like Afraid of Ghosts, but boy do I love Peachtree, The Spade and Sycamore Meadows

 

I like it, but it's too sad for me to play very often, haha. Hits too close to home for me. The Spade and Peachtree, however, are on constant rotation.

 

From what he's been playing on Insta, this is going to be energetic and exactly what I am hoping for!

 

I know! I saw those clips too, I'm excited. Is there a date for the next release yet?

 

Butch is back!!!

 

Doesn't sound to me like there is a date yet, but it'll definitely be out this year. I could see summer being a big possibility

 

A summer release would be INCREDIBLE. Then I'll have some more songs to blast in my car besides "summer of '89" "bodegas and blood" "sweethearts" and "day drunk"...not that I'll ever stop playing those, haha.

 

Well they were shooting the photos for the cover this week, so yeah, I'm guessing a July/August release.

 

Those new clips sound amazing

 

Welp.

 

have recently been getting into him lately. always assumed he was a folkier guy and i was kinda surprised to find out that was only the most recent album

 

Yeah, he's been playing around with folk influences for awhile, but his last one was the first record that went completely in that direction. Each of his albums is pretty distinct from the one that came before it.

 

So ready for this album. Wish I lived LA so I could have gone to his Fleetwood Mac covers show.

 

If those clips are anything to go by, Butch is going to grab back-to-back AOTY honors from me.

 

I'm still sad I missed this

 

it was so stupid expensive

 

Looks like he played four new songs last night.

How was I not following this thread yet?

So excited for the new record. Love how passionate Butch seems to be about it.

 

OOH SHIT we're close, I can feel it

 

Yep, I'd bet on an announcement within the next month or so. It sounds like he wants to get out on the road for the summer.

 

Has he been doing any major co-writes lately?

 

Me want new Butch album now.

Fun fact: he is the reason that I discovered AP.net. Jason's review of Letters got me here back in the summer of 2004. Good times.
