New Zealand punks Die! Die! Die! are just about to drop their frantic new EP titled What Did You Expect. Out via  Bad Health records the release will be followed by an early 2016 Australian tour to back it up.

A follow on from their fifth full length studio album S W I M which came out last year, this five track effort moves between moments of urgency and despondency; where barbed chords haze over Michael Prain’s bludgeoning drum rolls as front- man Andrew Wilson chokes his way through the barrage of frenetic fuzz.

Recorded and mixed by Rory Attwell (Yuck, Male Bonding, Palma Violets) at Lightship95 studios in East London and mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters in Los Angeles, is nothing but a highly energic stellar punk rock release from the Dunedin trio.

The record will be officially released on Friday the 4th of December through Melbourne based independent record label Bad Health (formerly Black Night Crash Records) and will be available as both a digital download and 10” vinyl release. Check out the EP below and if you like what you’re hearing pop by the band’s Facebook page for more info on upcoming tours.
