Laura Jane Grace & the Mississippi Medicals – the brand new rock quartet fronted by Grace and featuring Matt Patton of Drive-By Truckers (bass), Mikey Erg of The Ergs (drums), and Paris Campbell Grace (vocals, percussion) — are excited to announce the release of the band’s debut EP, ‘Give An Inch.’
Recorded by Patton at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS, and out now, ‘Give An Inch’ ushers in yet another new and exciting chapter for the Emmy-nominated artist, author, activist, and punk icon as she calls upon the various talents of these seasoned musicians. Led by the singles ‘All Fucked Out’, a track Rolling Stone called “a dusty tarpaulin of loping country-punk,” and the rollicking ‘Karma Too Close,’ ‘Give An Inch’ is now available for streaming and purchase on all platforms.
Additionally, Laura Jane Grace & the Mississippi Medicals just kicked off a September U.S. headline tour of the midwest, south, and east coast, which will culminate in a special appearance at Riot Fest in Chicago, IL from September 20-22 that will feature Grace fronting the Philadelphia ska band Catbite for an Operation Ivy-themed set. Support on the U.S. tour is being provided by Catbite and Taylor Hollingsworth – check out the dates below.
