On the same day archrival FLAG announced a U.S. tour, reunited hardcore punk band Black Flag return with a new song. Following a 23-year gap (!), “The Chase” is the band’s second new song in just under two weeks. And like the Fugazi-esque “Down In The Dirt”, there’s plenty of high-speed guitar antics from Greg Ginn, visceral screams from the depths of Ron Reyes, and an Oy-tastic chrous. Watch the live footage-centric music video below.
And speaking of tours, the band’s 1979 lineup of Reyes, Ginn, and drummer Gregory Moore will begin touring Europe in May, followed by a six weeks of North American shows. Check out the full docket below.
