Japan-based 60s garage rock act The Routes are on a roll, having announced a new Get Past Go!, due out 16 Dec 2022 via Otitis Media Records. The band, which trucks in the tunes of the 60s and 70s garage rock (and a bit of punk) also drink quite often from the instrumental well, channeling some of the best surf rock bands of the era.
In addition to the new album announcement, the band has released the first single from the LP, “Like A Knife”. Take a listen below, and head to their Bandcamp page to preorder on digital or CD.
