It’s true! Scientists and punk rock go together like safety pins and kids who are too cool to stop by Claire’s Accessories. Black Adidas is the nom de guerre of Courtney Ranshaw, aerospace engineer by day, punk rocker the rest of the time. His sophomore LP, self-titled just like his first (thanks for making it hard on us), is due out 03 Mar 2023 via Dirt Cult Records.
Along with that announcement, the first single, “In My Head” is now out for your listening pleasure. You can listen to that new track below, and visit the Dirt Cult Bandcamp or web store to preorder the album. You can hear more Black Adidas at his bespoke Bandcamp page, or on Spotify.
But wait, there’s more! Black Adidas has some gigs lined up at the end of February and March. You can find info and links on those underneath the single.
