The Lemonheads release their first album in ten years, “The
Lemonheads” through Vagrant / Polydor on Monday 25th of September.

For The Lemonhead's eighth album Dando convened two of his early influences — the unholy duo of drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) and bassist Karl Alvarez (Descendents) — in a remote Rocky Mountain hideaway.

Dando and Stevenson co-produced the album, and Stevenson wrote or co-wrote three of its eleven songs; long-time Australian collaborator Tom Morgan added another two. There's also cameos galore: from wunderkind bassist Josh Lattanzi (“Poughkeepsie”, “Rule of Three” & “In Passing”), certifiable rock giant Garth Hudson (The Band, who plays keyboards on “Black Gown” and “December”), and some real foot-on-monitor guitar work by Dinosaur JR's J. Mascis (“No Backbone” & “Steve's Boy”).
