Legendary Los Angeles punk band X has released a new song ‘Delta 88 Nightmare.’ The song is part of the single of the same name, which also included another new track, ‘Cyrano de Berger’s Back,’ and it will be out on November 29th via Fat Possum. You can also check the video below.
Earlier this year, the original foursome – Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake went into the studio together to record fresh material for the first time since 1985’s ‘Ain’t Love Grand.’ Five songs were recorded over the course of two days with producer Rob Schnapf. The first of these new songs is the recorded version of an older X song, ‘Delta 88 Nightmare,’ which previously was only included as a bonus track on the 2001 reissue of ‘Los Angeles’ in demo form – never as a fully recorded and mixed track. The song is available today as a 7″ with the flip side being the newly recorded ‘Cyrano de Berger’s Back,’ one of the earliest songs John wrote for the band that became X.
