Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie gets new vinyl pressing

Vancouver punk trio NoMeansNo have announced that they'll be reissuing their tenth album, Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie, on double vinyl on April 28, out via their own Wrong Records (through which they previously rereleased the LP on CD) and Southern Records. Says the announcement: "[A] groundbreaking exploration of social and political lyrical statements and post-punk musical workouts. Back in the day, confused people liked to call this 'jazz-punk' or 'jazzcore' because it involved more than three chords, time changes and slow parts. It still sounds like nothing else, comfortably in a league of its own, chock-full of both celebratory and angry sounds, with a smart lyrical lurch, and enough sharp musical turns to cause severe dizziness."
