NEW YORK - THE ALMIGHTY DEFENDERS ARE HERE FOR YOU

It's a pretty widely known fact that

Vice

outsources all of its blog posts to India. So when the Black Lips came to my country earlier this year, I was pretty pumped on experiencing some sweaty American rock 'n' roll. Unfortunately, the Black Lips were

kicked out

 before I had the chance to see them. Instead, they flew to Berlin, where they recorded an album with their friends

King Khan and BBQ

. Needless to say, the album kicks ass (and they recorded it in under a week!).  It's being released under the moniker

The Almighty Defenders

, which incidentally would make a great name for a superhero collective from the Crusades. Anyways, the album is now available for

pre-order

from our website, and if you buy it, we'll throw in a bonus track for free! The track, "Ghost With The Most," was recorded live during their

Practice Space session

 which, appropriately, is now available to watch on

VBS

.

Order the CD here.
