The opening track of Rat Boy‘s new album with Tim Armstrong has been unveiled.
Chip On My Shoulder opens a window on Internationally Unknown and its recording sessions at Shiprec Studios in Los Angeles. “I wanted to do this completely differently because ‘SCUM’ took so long, and I was learning the whole way through making it,” Jordan Cardy explained.
“I wanted to make something more personal and raw, which reflected me more. I was trying to find that sweet spot between hip-hop and punk, and Tim really understands that stuff. I’ve never really spoken to anyone else who love hip-hop and punk like I do.”
He’ll tour the UK in November, including three shows in London, before the album’s release on January 25th next year.
