After a brief return to his iconic band, The Strokes at this year’s Governors Ball in NYC, a few weeks ago, Julian Casablancas has released some new material with his side project along with The Voidz. The new album is called Tyranny and JC announced it as a “protest record.”
Casablancas says in the official press release:
Tyranny has come in many forms throughout history. Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).
You can see the new album’s teaser video above. See the new album artwork and upcoming dates below; pre-Order Tyranny for $3.87 on the Cult Records website now: http://bit.ly/jcvdz
