Wyoming punk quartet Teenage Bottlerocket have announced they'll be releasing a 7" EP in November.
Scheduled for a November 26 release through Fat Wreck Chords, the 'American Deutsch Bag' EP comprises of three tracks from the band, recorded with Andrew Berlin at The Blasting Room in Colorado during their co-headlining tour with The Queers.
"On Teenage Bottlerocket's last tour in Europe we made friends with a dude in a Lethal Weapon 2 hat," says frontman Ray Carlisle. "We referred to him as a Deutsch bag. He was a good sport and found the insult endearing. I've always loved Germany. I took German in high school and we sang alot of songs. One of the songs was entitled "Ich bin Auslander und Spreche Nicht Gut Deutsch". This is roughly translated "I'm not from here and my German sucks". We decided to make it a pop punk song. If I screw up any of the pronunciation it's because my German sucks, it's a pretty good excuse to fuck up the words. We also included a new song about smoking reefer and a song by our dear friend Tony Sly called "Via Munich". We recorded the 7" at the Blasting Room with Andrew Berlin. Everything seemed to fall into place. The title is my favorite part of it all; ladies and gentleman, I present to you, the AMERICAN DEUTSCH BAG 7" BY TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET! The 7" will be available on our upcoming European tour with VOLBEAT and ICED EARTH. Guten tag."
