Appleton, Wisconsin’s TENEMENT have teamed with Stereogum to stream another track from their upcoming collection LP, Bruised Music Volume One, due out March 10th in a joint release from Grave Mistake Records and Toxic Pop Records. “Morning Mouth” is a shining example of the amalgam of hooks and edge that TENEMENT excel at, with Stereogum calling it “a spiraling two and a half minutes of theatrical frustration that dangles from the line, ‘All I know is the world keeps turning, but I just keep falling down.'”
TENEMENT is also embarking on their run of tour dates with Priests and Vacation today. The tour includes several dates with Screaming Females.

Bruised Music Volume One delves into TENEMENT‘s deep and impressive catalogue to compile ten rare or out-of-print tracks from seven of the band’s earliest tapes, EPs, and split singles. Bruised Music Volume One‘s tracks have all been re-mastered and feature vastly improved sound quality than their original releases. The collection will also include an eight page zine with liner notes and anecdotes from the band, their friends (including members of Screaming Females, Sundials, Coke Bust, and Nervosas), and journalists who championed the band during their inception. Bruised Music Volume One isn’t just for the super-fan looking for a peek into TENEMENT‘s early years and the honing of their razor sharp song-craft, it also offers new listeners a great introduction to the band’s perfect blend of raw punk energy and undeniable pop hooks.
