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 Friday, September 6th release of the band’s debut EP, ‘Give An Inch’. Recorded by Patton at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS, ‘Give An Inch’ ushers in yet another new and exciting chapter for the Emmy-nominated artist, author and activist 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.’
Additionally, Laura Jane Grace & the Mississippi Medicals just announced a number of headline dates across the U.S. midwest, south and east coast for September, including 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.
