Conceptual band La Dispute have announced their first album in six years No One Was Driving the Car for a September 5th release via Epitaph.

Donots - Schwert Aus Holz

After more than 30 years of noise and distorted guitars, the DONOTS dare to release their first unplugged album with SCHWERT AUS HOLZ: “Let's see what happens!”

 

With a weak spot for Nirvana's “Unplugged” and Johnny Cash's “American Recordings”, the band along with the production team of Kurt Ebelhäuser and Michel Wern have taken eleven of their classic songs as well as two new songs and re-focused the live energy with a complete wooden instrumentation (full band plus Ingo on piano).
