The highly influential punk/emo/post-hardcore vets Samiam have signed to Pure Noise and are working on what will be their first new album since 2011's Trips. Meanwhile, they've just released their first new single in over a decade, "Lights Out Little Hustler." It features Hot Water Music's Chris Wollard, and it sounds like classic Samiam. Vocalist Jason Beebout says, "'Lights Out Little Hustler' is about becoming emotionally detached and creating obstacles to keep people from being close to you. Wanting to be loved but forgetting how to show it. Knowing that what you have is important, but too afraid to let it be." Check it out below.
Samiam are also playing Atlantic City's inaugural Frantic City festival this weekend, alongside Superchunk, Rocket From The Crypt, The Bouncing Souls, Murder City Devils, Yo La Tengo, Titus Andronicus, Snail Mail, Car Seat Headrest, Protomartyr, Control Top, and Shannon and the Clams.
